Viridescent Core

Description

Some mortals see dungeons as a plague to destroy. Some mortals see dungeons as a resource to manage and harvest. Some mortals see dungeons as a place to train and advance.

However, all of them agree on something. Dungeons are unnatural and deadly. Places where death stalks every corner and monsters thrive.

What mortals forget, in their hubris of tools and civilizations, is that Mother Nature is often the deadliest of all.

Feel free to write any comment, suggestion, or criticism. I read and appreciate every single one!

Releases are on Mondays and Thursdays. With occasional bonus chapters on Saturdays. Have a nice day ^^

I read until chapter 15 and in the meantime a story that is written in an easy way to read and understand. In addition to that the story system is described in a good and nice way. Recommend to all lovers of dungeon and litrpg stories. Hope the story continues like this and everyone can enjoy reading it.

A promising start. The dungeon core genre is full of... writing of questionable quality, but this story's writing is much better than average; all the more impressive since the author does not seem to be a native English speaker. The hints of worldbuilding we've seen so far are intriguing, and the integration of game mechanics into the narrative is smooth.

I think this is one of the better dungeon core books I have found please keep it up I like how the author
Did not use a human for the core so it has to figure stuff out as it goes
I do hope to see evolution of the mobs thoe

Well worth reading for a fun time with great characters and excellent pacing. This story really captures the wondrous curiosity of a new world. All the characters feel very real and all the motivations and actions make sense. It really balances having fun exciting moments without needing anyone to hold the idiot ball. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this tale goes next.

This is only a very early review; currently there are less than 10 chapters written and this review reflects this.
It seems like a well-written take on the usual dungeon core story. Grammar is excellent, and the writing itself is good. It seems as though the author has a clear plan in place for the story, and time will tell how true this is.
Definitely give it a go!

Quite the lovely take on the "lush" dungeon archetype. The author makes sure to address creatures big and small in this lovely novel. With Great grammar and just the right mix of fantasy and not diving too deep into the whole "system" and "magic" thing and more focusing on the story so far this novel has avoided the whole boring beginner arc of most dungeon core novels and has gotten straight into the action. Well, that's not to say that the story is fast pace.
Overall it's been great so far. Sending my love to the author <3

Overall rating: 4 1/2 Stars
Story and Style: 5 Stars and 5 Stars
So far everything makes sense, as in this could happen realistically. The story pace may seem slow for some (Action fans), but I personally find it perfect. I personally didn't skip over anything, but read every sentence without getting bored.
Something this novel does better than most dungeon core books so far are the time frames. 10 Chapters in and we are engaged in slowly building the dungeon and it is actually written interesting, as in I wouldn't have a problem reading this if this setup goes on for 50 or more chapters.
Grammar: 4 Stars
Grammar seems fine so far though I am no native english speaker and have read way to many novels with bad grammar to notice slight errors. So take this with a grain of salt.
Character: 5 Stars
The MC acts believable and smart, choices are explained and make sense.
In conclusion if you are a dungeon core fan, you should check it out. You will most likely be hooked from the first chapter ;)

Overall the story is enjoyable.
A slow but good pace of progression. Every chapter has something new, either a function explained trough action , an event or any other world building elements.
I really like Tyra as side character too. Which gives the dungeon core a good counterweight. As he's a bit too goody two shoes, down in his core. And easily distracted by his own toughts. Well he was a tree, so that's to be expected. Trees generally aren't the best conversation partners. And are kinda sturbornly doing their thing.
The take on dungeon born creatures and a more natural evolution is quite interesting too. Reminds me a bit of the one of the two only good dungeon core books i have read till now. Let's just hope the pace stays like this and doesn't skyrocket up cause the Author NEEDED to add more exitment to it. I never get that part of those storys. 3 Books all chill and the next moment it's hellscape battles for the rest of the story xD.
I'm hopeing for good interaction with adventurers :D. Given the nature of the ones we have had the pleasure to meet up till now. It will be quite the interesting part.

This story is above average for a dungeon core story. I find that they get very repetitive and follow the same story beats each time. Viridescent Core sets the main character as a magical tree-turned dungeon. I think it has a lot of potential but it is too early to tell. Right now as of posting this review the story has been on a bit of a hiatus and no update has been made. I will definitely return to this story however after a few more regularly scheduled chapters are posted. :)

Really good story, the world building right now is pretty good but the Mc was a stationary tree so it's only around her area, the Mc is good she has lived for a long time so she's not immature. Talking about immature though I really don't like the fairy, like you are 3 years old and you are counseling a being that's lived for over a thousand years and that's not the worst, she is a hypocrite she freaks out about parasites and wants them immediately genocided, then turns around and condescendingly talks about the Mc not caring about life and every creature has value even a little spider's.
like I am really annoyed first of all you bust in to the Mc's life and immediately you are in charge and don't care about the Mc, you have to save your friend that I reaaaaaaaly don't care about then you take over the Mc's life, pretty much cause she gets to choose the evolutionary paths, and cause the Mc can't evolve it's the only thing she can do so you took away the only thing that the mc was solely in charge of.
