Publisher's summary

A time of great darkness is approaching, but will Sandra and her dungeon survive?

After being responsible for destroying multiple Dungeon Cores, the consequences of which she has yet to see but knows will be coming, Sandra and her friends must obtain help from the leadership of the nearby lands. The problem will soon become bigger than she can contain, and only by them all working together will everyone survive the dangers represented by the nearby dungeons.

On top of that, Sandra also has to develop a plan to combat the ever-expanding territories of the local dungeons and protect the people still living in her Area of Influence. It is a difficult and complicated problem to solve, but with the aid of some new friends she begins to get a handle on the situation.

Unknown to Sandra and everyone else, however, someone wronged by the craft-loving Dungeon Core has designs of their own that will throw the wastelands into chaos. Those dangers, coupled with some personal issues of Sandra’s own, could usher in a period of darkness that the world hasn’t seen in centuries...

This Dungeon Core story contains LitRPG/GameLit elements such as statistics and leveling and a heavy crafting emphasis. No profanity and no harems.

enjoyed it

im enjoying it,
a intestine take on Reincarnation and dungeon core litrpg books, some little things I am like whyyyyy but overall I enjoyed the book

Wrong title for good story

The title should be crafters fracture innocent yet the darkness The darkness is just beginning this is what happens in the lead up as their psyche wars with the nature up being a dungeon car

Phenomenal as always

Jonathon keeps me coming back. i love dungeon growth game lit. its a tactical growth itch i only get otherwise with strategy games

awesome series

at first I was skeptical at how this swries would turn out. but after finishing all of them so far I'm excited for the next one.

Kelerum? I thought his power was fire and dark?

I remember his saying he lit his forge everyday but here I mentions water instead... this is a problem. It’s mentioned twice. I needs to be fixed.

But great book as always. I’m really worried though. The crafting parts are my favorites and the raving towards the end is saddening and hopefully doesn’t continue for long in the new book.

"I am a shadow of your true inner self."

Everyone has some darkness lurking within them. Some embrace it, some acknowledge and tame it, some suppress it, and for a lucky few it remains dormant until a catalyst awakens it. The journey to seeing Sandra's inner darkness is a bit convoluted, but definitely entertaining. The book builds on the previous volumes, but mostly works to help set the stage for the next volume. In a sense it suffers from Planned Sequel Syndrome, it's okay to good on its own but only shines as a part of the series. Of course, unlike many works that suffer from that condition this one does an excellent job of helping both the ones before and the ones after to shine. As I mentioned before, the way this one ends does an excellent job of setting the stage for the next volume, and really helps it to take of spectacularly. If you want to get the most out of The Crafter's Dominion you need to listen to/read this one first.

Oh, and for those who are wondering, the remainder of the quote from my headline is this: "I am your Shadow."

Oh boy!

I've enjoyed this series quite a bit and things are starting to heat up! I am very excited to see what happens next.

Dull but I'll give the series one more book

This story is so dull in places. No good payoff for how the dungeons are communicating, and the insanity she is dealing with seems forced.

good book

I like this series, its a different take on dungeon core novels. if you are a fan of the genre then I highly Recommend this book

Great series

I really like this series so far, waiting for the next book will be hard, The author isn’t afraid of cliffhanger endings.
