Story
Ryan doesn’t remember much about his life before becoming a dungeon core. Only that he had a bit of a disagreement with the church—something to do with a beheading? Now reborn, Ryan begins to arm his darkness dungeon with devious traps, bestial zombies and ill-named skeletal creations, without doing anything too evil. Well, mostly. Some adventurers just deserve a stalactite to the head.

Missing dialogue

Promising but full of flaws
Reviewed: 12-12-24
The book is well written in many ways but suffers from many mistakes that I hope could be avoided in the next book. Mostly how the author introduces other races to the book but does not use them at all, even though the events of the book affect the whole world the other races seem to just ignore the issues and go on with their life's like nothing is happening. Another issue is that the author frequently forgets the rules he sets for the world and even though he says that the characters get different abilities they hardly, if at all, use them, they all use the same ones they have been using since the start, or in different cases they use one or two of the ones they acquired over the next levels.

A great story with amazing narration.
Reviewed: 08-27-24
The story is deeply addictive and make you lose yourself with desire to listen to "just one more chapter". The narrator does an amazing work of making the characters seem alive and the editing of the narration is top notch. I deeply recommend this title to anyone interested in the genre.

Story
The world watches the sky with trepidation. The insanity of Xenocide knew no bounds, and all will soon suffer the effects he had planned for a millennium. Though none know what is to come, they all know it isn’t going to be easy to survive. The Master has a plan, one that can give the world at large a way to escape the onrushing desolation. It may be on the bleeding edge of morality and what he needs might prove too difficult to secure, but The Master asks for trust. Cal and Dale both have their role to play as the world hurtles toward destruction.

Great story, flawed narration
Reviewed: 07-18-24
The story of all the books are amazing, but in every one of them there were moments where I could not hear the narrator either because the sound was muffled too much or because the "ambient noise" of battle, or whatever was playing at the moment, was so loud that it drowned their voices. I get it that they want you to feel immersed in the story but FFS how can I be immersed in something if I can't understand what is being said??

Author David Sanchez really surprises me with how good he can make his books, each of them is better than the one that came before. At some point I just became unable to stop listening to them and can't wait for the next one, ended up buying all of them.

Story
After more than 700 years, he was expecting a peaceful and lonely end to his long life. That, however, was not meant to be. A single choice changed his fate, and his soul was forced to live again as a dungeon. Reborn but shackled to the heart of a mountain. This old soul has lost everything - and more. In a world of gods and demons, there is no room for a weak newborn dungeon. The path may be long and dangerous, but with a soul hardier than stone and a will stronger than iron, will he be able to forge his own destiny?

the book is amazing and the flow of the story is great. the only issue I have is when the narrator reads the word sigh" instead of making the sound, it can break the immersion.

this was just incredible, and yhe ending gave me shivers. The narration was on point and even though you feel a little frustrated with the MC in the start it all improves at the end and make you wish for the third book.

Story
When an ambitious teenage girl from Earth finds herself in a magical realm, she could be the hero—but she'd prefer to be the villain. When power-hungry Everly is reborn into a medieval world where elemental magic rules and she receives her elemental servants—the oddly sadistic Eris and the fun-loving Titania—years earlier than one typically would, she knows she's destined for a command of necromantic magic the likes of which her peers can only dream.

I woyld have dropped this 10 chapters in if I was reading it.
Reviewed: 04-20-24
This is a boring book and has some serious issues in keeping the story balanced. If you like power fantasies go ahead and try it, but I cant recommend this book to anyone else that does not favor that genre. The only way I managed to stay for 30 chapters in this story was because I was listening to it and not reading.
Plot problems(minor spoilers ahead, read at you discretion):
-The book starts with someone's else perspective, it does it so often that it interrupts the flow of the story and make you lose interest in it every time it does so. Most of the characters the story changes the POV to are not important for the story at all and will only appear in that single chapter making it feel like a waste of time and obly being useful for info dumping on the reader/listener.
-Right from the start we get an info dump with no prior knowledge of the world and no way to make sense of it. There is no world building at all we are just supposed to digest a ton of info every chapter or so.
[HEAVY SPOILER AHEAD]
-The main character becomes the strongest person in the planet when she is barely 1 year old. There is absolutely nothing as broken as her. Even in the anime/manga/light novel Overlord the main character that is the most powerful lich in the world still faces challenges, while the main character of this book just waves a hand and destroy everything.
-Many of the characters in the book are plain stupid to an infuriating degree. The most infuriating of all moments was when a knight had one of the 7 Demon lords, creatures that want the world to be destroyed so much that everyone hates them, injured in front of him and he decides not to kill him because he doesn't want to dirty his dagger with his blood, A KNIGHT does not want blood in his weapons. Utter stupidity, instead of weakening the demons he just creates a grudge, major failure for the author.
-The MC is a villain and batshit crazy, so this next part can be excused a little. The MC swears that she does not kill for no reason, but in multiple parts of the book she contradicts herself over and over again, and yeah she finds justification or don't do it sometimes, but not because she swore not to, but because of some other random reason. She also has nothing that can make the reader want to follow her throughout the story, other than some little comedy every now and them.

Being a small dungeon on the outskirts of town in the backwaters of an unimportant kingdom isn't easy, but Kelsey's done her best to level up and become the best dungeon she can be: Digging a hole of ever-increasing depth and complexity. Creating an undead atmosphere that would make a necromancer proud. Spawning monsters and treasure. Killing adventurers. But lately, things have gotten a bit stale.
