James thought he would be just another adventurer in the world’s most anticipated dungeon delving VRMMORPG. But when he logs in, he soon finds out that he won’t be diving the dungeon - he will be creating it. Pretty awesome right?

At least that was what he thought when he boldly chose "Random" as his dungeon type....

Then he summoned his first mob. A fearsome, bloodthirsty demonic.... Chicken.

Still, Demonic Farm Animals are the least of his worries. The person who is supposed to be teaching him the ropes is a weirdly advanced AI pixie, who drinks too much and is overly fond of gambling. Oh, and some mysterious figure seems to be watching and judging his every move - so signing that NDA is feeling like less and less of a solid choice.

Either way, James is up for the challenge. Even if it means building a dungeon around kamikaze sheep, enraged cows, unhygienic pigs, and yes...Dickens.

At least his next randomly selected mob type can’t be worse...right?

This is the revised, edited, and novelized retelling of the popular Royal Road web serial Dungeon Core Online by Glyax.

My God, a dungeon core story without the adventurers and core working together to thwart some evil plot?!? Needless to say I hate when the dungeon runners become aware of the cores intelligence and too many books follow that trend. I drop every dungeon core book the moment it happens because that's when the mystery and fun dies (looking at Divine Dungeon, Dinosaur Dungeon and Elemental Dungeon). Is it too much to ask for a chill story full of evolving monsters, funny puns and a leveling system? Apparently not because I got all of those things in this story.

I will be quite irritated if they learn who the dungeon cores are in later books because dungeon & runner coop always tends to be a wet blanket on the moods of most dungeon books for me. I can only hope this doesn't happen here.

I wasn't expecting this.

It was a decent book nothing hooked me in to much with the first book but I will say I’m definitely excited to listen to the second book and hear where the stories goes. Also loved some of the references! NI!

Fun little listen

Overall it's a good start to a new series setting up enough lore and mechanics that I think most will be happy with. It does take a bit for the real story to kick off but that's nothing new to dugeonlite books.


SPOILER




My one nitpick for the book is that it seems like [Blank] is using knowledge or help from outside of the game to ramp up their level or at the very least breaking some rules to have their level be so high. If they aren't then I'd love to see the break down of how they are doing what they're doing. Regardless of that they claim that the MC couldn't possibly have his research at the lvl it's at but from what we've seen and given that you could just get coins for no reason at all this seems like a faulty assumption unless they know things that they shouldn't know.

Good start

You are an amazing writer. The plot in your stories are so gripping and addictive although this is a progression novel lm not only enjoying the MCs progression but also the whole world building and the machinations going beyond just the Mc. You have become my favorite writer. Ive read your elemental dungeon and this story also has not disappointed. Bravo.

Wtf man how do you do it!
