Description

"Let me check real quick if I got what you said... Not only I'll be stuck forever in a cave because I'll become immortal, I won't have any contact with humans and if someone hits me hard enough I die for good? Are you mental?""Nah, that's pretty much it, good luck. See you again when you die.""You fucking assh-.."

Yelp. Now I'm stuck in this dungeon forever, what the heck is there to do here?

A fun romp with a evil antagonist and a fun mc who became a sex dungeon...depending on what happens with this dungeon specialization this fic can go from "pretty good i look forward to new chapters" to "holy carp this fishtion is totally insane!!!!" Lets fund this crazy dude on patreon with monopoly money!!!

The typical Isekai as a dungeon core, with a MC that gain a body only he get points not by killing but with sex. Entertaining enough and changing a little the typical Dungeon Core story.
With a system managed by a loli godess that get jealous, it's interestesting while being Good Enough, need more chapter before judging if the story is bad or not but if you want a couple of laughs and entertain yourself, this is a good story.

I think if you skip the prolog that is actually a piece of chapter 2 used like a trailer? The story makes a lot more sense. Then you kinda need to fill in a lot of gaps because the author is light on description, instead relying entirely on what MC is thinking and saying without much explanation. After that if you like the snarky assholish MC personality type with the "instant harem" subtrope you might find enjoyment here. I'm giving this 4 stars because its not as bad as I expected, but not great either.

Honestly an overall pretty good story however there's ALOT of spelling errors and occasionally it's hard to keep track of who's saying what and what's going on. I think I could give this 5 stars if more detail was put in as the concept and storyline are very good. Additionally if the author took more time to go over and check for spelling errors it'd be even better

The time spent on MC flirting with his harem and excessive showcases of antagonists evil and cruelty leaves room for little else. The plot flows as slow as molasses and I just don't give a damn about what feels like entire sub-arcs of self-insert sexual fantasies.
UPDATE: After a while the focus does shift back to dungeon management (almost immediately after the chapter I wrote the original review actually, what timing!) and fighting intruders and you know, actual plot. There is still some flirting and such going on, but for now at least the plot is back to being the primary focus.
The grammar is fine and some decent character development does somehow get done amidst all that..

It's a harem dungeon core story. Random events plot, dull premise, bad MC.. although what really bothered my SJW self was the MC's problematic comments. For example, in one chapter he mentions "my inner Jew cheered" because he got the chance to make a lot of currency.
Not to mention using the f-word (no, not that one, the gay one) and the author justified it by saying that he's an a-hole and he will say such things. However I disagree and even if you're writing about a dark/antihero MC, I would avoid outright antisemitism and homophobia.

This wasn't for me but while I don't think this will be many people's favourite story I think there is still enough here that it will have it's fans. I've outlined my 2 main issues below, hopefully they will help you decide if this is for you or at least let you go in with the right expectations.
1. The areas of interest were in the wrong ratios for me.
I've enjoyed both dungeon core stories and stories with harems previously and I went into this expecting the former with a sprinkling of the later while the reverse seems to be true. I couldn't help but be disappointed by this as some of the fights are really well done and the skill system feels really groundedly integrated in the world when delvers use it. Similarly the dungeon itself is pretty cool but we don't really see much in the way of it being built and a lot of what I look for in dungeon core stories are the decisions and trade-offs characters have to make when designing the dungeon which seems mostly absent here.
2. The characters seem to talk a lot while saying very little.
I feel I need to lay out my biases here, I tend to favour snappy buffy-esque dialogue that's honestly a lot cleaner than any actual conversation between people would be. Having said that with so much of the story focusing on the harem end of things the circular nature of the conversations really seems to hurt the feel of the pacing of the story. The story is quite tropey and horny, both of which can be a bit of fun in general (although aren't for everyone), but with the conversation can leave you feeling like you're waiting quite a while to get to the point you knew you'd arrive at as soon as the characters were introduced. While my first point is personal preference, despite my biases I really do think making the conversations a bit more efficient would do a lot to improve the story however, I am far from an expert.

Honestly, this is just bad. The prose reads like a bad light novel, the premise is virtually non-existent and the sexual aspects are cringe-worthy. The mc doesn't have any goals at all. The plot, if you could call it that, just sort of happens to him. He doesn't like being a core but doesn't even express some kind of desire to change this. I wanted to like this going in but it just doesn't work.
