Admittedly, I haven't read all that many Dungeon Core stories, but through No Need for a Core I've come to understand what the appeal is. It truly is the epitome of 'Progression'. The dungeon progresses. The cores progress (MC's). The land and nations around it change to adapt to this new entity. And most importantly, it reminds me of the builder games I love oh so much lol.

Style: Nothing to really say here. The style was perfectly fine to me.

Story: One of the most interesting parts to me is just how impactful the MC's prior life was on the world as a whole before he was sealed away. Even now, after he's been awoken many years later, there are still plenty of after-effects related to all the good and the bad he did (which resulted in his sealing). And it's really interesting seeing him guide Kazue (a new dungeon core) as she slowly develops/expands her dungeon.

Grammar: There are typos here and there even now. But truly, they're few and far between and not a big deal at all.

Character: The dynamic between the trio is something that you don't need to wait long to encounter. It comes pretty quick into the story and I love all three of the characters so far, so this was an easy 5 for me. Kazue is just way too cute! Oh, there is something some people might have an issue with. I don't see it as a big spoiler since it happens near the start of the story but just in case (although it is hinted at in the blurb).

Spoiler

The three characters are all in a relationship together. It's not a harem, since the girls are married to one another as well. Which makes it all the more interesting for me personally. ^^

All in all, I'm really enjoying No Need for a Core.
