Resumen del Editor

I spent most of my life trying to get by with whatever happiness I could, that included alcohol, food, and porn.

My death was unpleasant and humiliating. However, death is something we all need to go through. A bit like a proctology exam: necessary, but never anything one wants to go through while it's happening.

However, death was supposed to be the end of it. Either way, the pain, suffering, and failures were supposed to be over. I was supposed to wink out, or perhaps take a trip to a lovely afterlife!

No, I ended up as a small stone, strapped to a table, while a pimple-faced teenager rubbed my facets and told me how "lovely" I was. Last time I checked, birth wasn't supposed to be as embarrassing as death!

Life as a dungeon core isn't all bad. I like watching lizard love triangles and snooping on militaristic dwarves - though there is that issue where I'm trying to free myself from the entanglements of the Gods...OK, yeah, that last one is a bit of a problem.

I actually loved this book

Alston sleet this book is awesome thank you for writing it and I am soooooo looking forward to the next book in this line. Doug you did a pretty dam good job thank you. I have read many dungeon core books so far and this is now one of my most enjoyed ones I love how it is about challenges instead of slaughter and the gods in this one are easy to enjoy as well. if you love dungeon core books check this one out.

Great Fresh Take on Sentient Dungeons

If you have read a lot of other LitRPG Dungeon books, this is a breath of fresh air.

The book isn't perfect but most of the problems are small(I don't get why the main character never asks anyone about the Voice of the World).

Our main character is not a generic cutout. The character not "freaking out" is well justified, and struggles (for certain definitions of struggles) with what he has become and the fact that dungeons must kill.

The inclusion of gods was well done. A lot of time in other books, in order for the dungeon to have anyone to talk to there is some sort of faerie or imp or something, or we just have an adventure POV (blame Dungeon Born for those tropes). However, the gods gave a nice alternative while still serving a similar narrative purpose.

We get a good quick look at some of the cultures and world in the story, and it is paced fairly well.

As I said there are some problems. It seems like the author forgets about some of the RPG aspects. Early on the main character levels up pretty quickly all in one go. And then... As far as I can remember there was not a single mention of the characters class level after that point. They increase their rank in their skills, but their class?

Likewise, we are described a "perception challenge" that then seems to disappear (the maze with floor tiles indicating which way to go). There are a few other things that make me wonder if the story went through some revisions, but never got a final pass through. All of these little things together is why I took off a star.

When all was said and done though I really enjoyed this and am eagerly awaiting the next one.

Clever and Humorous

The author wrote a humorous book without falling into the trap of silliness. I highly recommend the book!

good read

honestly I loved the different storylines and how it all came together. my only complaint is that the book was not long enough

a good dungeon core

the only thing that aggravated me in this audio book was this type of sentence. ex. it was a thing, but not a thing, and that made it a thing. replace "thing" with any concept, and you get what I'm saying. It's used a bit too often.

One of the best in the genre

A really great LitRPG book.

The stat aspect is very light, I'd almost say a little too light. It almost never comes up unless a major threshold is reached. If you're somebody that wants to know every time a skill increases by 5% you're going to be disappointed but personally I felt it was refreshing to not get bogged down by it.

There are aspects that are pretty prominent like blessings and achievements that really weren't explained at all, I'm guessing more detail will come further in the series. I was OK with it. Not everything has to be explained in a story.

I do wish a little more focus was spent on some things like dungeon creature creation instead of human politics but by the end it was clear that the political stuff was pretty crucial to the story.

Overall I'd highly recommend it to even the most causal fans of the genre.

pretty good

weird premise for a story. it's not on I've heard before, but I have seen variants. I liked it. I felt reasonably attached to the character. it wasn't brilliant literature, but it was pretty good.

An amazing and in many ways unique Dungeon Story

The world that Sleet manages to create around the often easily mismanaged concept of a dungeon and its core is utterly astounding. He spins a web of familiarity for readers of similar novels, but twists the logic and governing principles of his world to make this a story about more than building, slaying and gaining power. It's a deluge of mystery, empires, intrigue and slice of life.
It's great purchase and the narrator dies a remarkable job. I'll be impatiently waiting for more.

Ok when is the next part 0f the book

If you like this line of books then this one is for you worth a read and a second look and 2nd book.

Awesome book!

Great book, here! I loved listening to the book, and loved the 'trickery'.

I think, should audible book #2 comes out, I'll purchase that because the actual book (reading) is kinda weirdish and I think what makes reading the book so weird will be absent in the audible book (at least I hope).
