Dungeon: A place full of monsters, traps, treasure, and death. Those are the Great Dungeons, with unplumbed depths below the roots of the mountains.

That's not for me.

Dungeon: A place of rape, torture, and death, to control and corral enemies and slaves. These are the Red Cores, from which the mage-kings draw their power.

That's also not for me.

I don't like monsters. I don't want adventurers. I want to stay well away from enemies and slaves.

Fortunately, there are alternatives...

    I really wanted to give this one a higher grade, but maybe 3 stars is already too much. The overall setting's good and well thought out and it's plain to see that there was a lot of care and consideration on the author's part thinking through the novel's magic system and its ramifications - I dare say we've only seen about 10% of what he has already planned beforehand on this regard, which is very awesome. The writing's generally nicely done with good pacing and a comfortable style and the author knows how to take his time unraveling the world he built for us. Every new element comes naturally and fits perfectly with everything else. I do have some issues with some of the author's tropes, but overall the writing's at the very least above average.

    But.

    Well, how can I say this nicely? It's kinda disgusting having to read the main characters the whole story banks on, so there's that. Not talking about the graphic and overdetailed s*x scenes, but the actual characters, in particular Shayma, the de facto MC of this story. Yes, it's called Blue Core, and not only do we spend the most time with Blue the dungeon, but the story is actually presented in first person, from his perspective, but Blue is... just there for the most part. He does nothing, basically. He's a sorta active god that roams on the background of this story. No, the centerpiece of this story is Shayma (who, incidentally, is the girl on the cover of this novel), the real MC. And she's detestable. A complete and disgusting Mary Sue. The world bends over itself to her (in no small part thanks to Blue, incidentally) in what I can only compare to the lowest of the low, like Bella from Twilight or Rey from Disney's Star Wars. It's awful.

    Aside from that, there's those issues I have with the author's tropes, like how there's a perpetual and over the top need for positive reinforcement, like how characters are hugging each other every couple paragraphs (and most of the time the author emphasized that the hug was REALLY NEEDED), how characters stop whatever they're doing (sometimes destroying the rhythm of the scene) to say "you're so awesome!" or "that was so awesome!" for basically every single action anyone takes etc. Also, the constant flirting gets annoying fast (particularly because you read the flirting and then the author usually feels like hi-fiving himself by pointing out that yes, his characters were flirting there! So funny! So dorky!).

    So... Yeah. I'm now feeling overly generous giving this piece 3 stars.

    Definitely worth reading. Pacing is dealt with nicely and the wording of everything is outstanding. Unlike a number of stories on Scribblehub, this one is virtually free of grammar errors, which is nice so you don't have to test your english skills. Plot is intriguing, which definitely keeps you reading, until you get hit in the face with something know as you caught up to the current chapter. Lewd scenes are written very, very well and aren't rushed. 

    This story somewhat reminds me of Ero Dungeon Evolution as well as CORE: The Volcanic Dungeon. It's almost like a blend of both. 

    Spoiler

    Consentacles and dungeon building as a dungeon core? Nice

    [collapse]
    Overall a really nice read that has you wanting for more.
    Get rid of depletion bring Blue to completion

    Edit: Rip EDE. Now it's EDO, which is objectively better.  :P
    Also, the worldbuilding is outstanding. Everything isn't thrown at you at once as an infodump, but rather information is revealed at a constant pace, so you learn more as the story goes on.

    This story is incredible.  While having  premise that we have seen before, this story takes some interesting turns and is full of some interesting characters.  I can't wait to see where it leads us next.

    Good sh*t, mate.

    It's hardly original, but it's so well-written that it's worth a read.

    I'd say that the "Smut" tag is wrong since there's nowhere near enough s*x in it to be worth of that tag, but okay.

    The novel focuses mostly on plot, so there are little fluff and slice-of-life. The explicit chapters are considered eye-candy instead of weaved seamlessly into the story, so it has a disappointing take on s*xuality.

    Overall it avoids annoying tropes, so I'd rate this as a very solid story.

    Its an amazing story but you could make the first 5-8 chapters better and introcude the MC better and make things more clearly with more detailed descriptions as its hard to imagine with just that.

    The ero chapters are awesome Hhahaha and I was expecting blue to plug all the 3 girls holes and make her reach nirvana.

    I found just a few grammar issues and some jokes or worda that cant be understood... maybe its a local thing but what is for example silver woe???.

    Lastly pls do make a glossary with at least the physical charcteristics of the main characters. Such as colors. Height and other characteristics... I believe the fox girl has red hair and tails with white tips. Dunno if she has fur on the rest of her body... as for iniri... she is a kirin-kin but what is that? And she is also quite small? What height?.... physical descriptions of your main and secondary characters is important

    A really interesting take on the dungeon core genre. 

    The world and characters really feels alive. When the characters interact with each other it just doesn't feel as cringy as the other novels I've read.

    Also I don't think I've seen any grammar mistakes. So it's well written. Give it a try!

    Spoilers ahead. You have been warned

    okay, let me start this off by saying this novel, a few chapters before the one that made me drop, was a solid 8/10. A detailed and immensely interesting magic system is something I have always loved, and a system that's actually the akashic record, with dungeons being the sources of mana? I can't help but say that I was interested. Present tense, because it's not all suns and rainbows.

    first off, Blue, the main character. He's what the novel calls a Power, something that's supposed to be feared and revered by everyone, and yet he's just that. A dungeon. he's a special dungeon, being a blue core instead of red, but in the end, that's all he is. A stuck, unmovable dungeon. He's not all bad though, because he has a personality that I honestly favor, but it's mostly the magical things he does. It was the first mana dynamo that really made me like him because I love a good magic system that has a good set of rules it sticks to.

    The grammar is... acceptable. Obviously not proofread or edited, but it didn't ruin the flow too much. This was unexpected for a novel so highly rated, but I liked it enough to not really care.

    so let's get to the actual bad sh*t. Shayma, the actual main character is, to put it lightly, growing quickly. And to put it realistically, a Mary Sue. She's not really the most interesting of characters, really bland and two dimensional, and she's definitely not the best girl to choose as the main one, since the only reason she is the main girl is that she's the only girl he could talk to for a good chunk of the novel. And even after he could talk to other people, she still took precedence above all else.

    still, there were other characters I liked, like Iniri, Taelah, and Ansae, who were really nice to have, and what really kept me from leaving the novel and made me feel like giving it the initial high ratings, and he even got both Iniri and Taelah pregnant, which was weird for me because usually children are left for the epilogue, but it was a nice surprise. And then, finally getting to what made me drop the novel.

    Shayma died. Not permanently obviously, since the author can't kill Blue's Voice, who also happened to be his slave in both body and soul. And I didn't care about her either way, since the way it happened was honestly kind of stupid, and Shayma wasn't an interesting character anyway. The fact that she died at all though, now that made me hella curious. I mean, this moment is when we see Blue finally becoming more independent of Shayma, and him finally giving Taelah and Iniri a chance to be equal to Shayma in his metaphorical heart.  I mean, there's so much that can me do--

    Time skip, that's what can be done. An entire year thrown out the window when the novel was working with days of constant improvement and advancement. A year where Blue was completely cut-off from the world, where he just mourned Shayma's loss and thinking of ways he could've made things that could've kept her alive. A year where he ignored his wives, who gave birth and were raising his children alone without his support. I can't begin to explain how much this pissed me off. He completely ignored his wives and children because Shayma died, and did so for an entire year and a day.

    You know the worst part? He didn't care all that much. He said he felt bad, but he never apologized to them, or the millions of others he housed in his land. and they seemed to just forgive him? Am I supposed to accept that and brush off the fact that he ignored them for that long as if it was completely normal?

    One of the few stories where the smut actually means something.

    Though I feel some of the dungeon aspects could be delved deeper into, it still has some interesting dungeon management with more focus on the people in the story.

    Normally I don't write reviews or even comment on  much unless something screams to me that it needs attention and normally  only about things I care about. I read big long books mostly high fantasy and sci fi stuff like Robert Jorden, Braden Sanderson, Jack Campbell, J. R. R. Tolkien. George R. R. Martin... I think you get the idea.

    Anyway since most web stories are wrote by amateurs or people doing it as a hobby. I don't hold them to the same standard  because almost everything would be found wanting and I could slam almost every story if I  was expected a story from a master story teller and  expected relative perfection.

    however this story right here... this  author has my respect  even if I hold him to the same requirements as the above authors, He has made it.  If he continues to write at the same level that he's currently writing well I think a "masterpiece" fits just fine. currently I have no issue comparing the current story to Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, Game of Thrones ect ect. I'm not going to go over pro's and cons with this story because I don't have any cons to talk about. To me 5 stars means as close to perfection as possible so if I rate something at 4 stars it's a damn good book but this story gets 5.  world building, characters and character relationships plus the plot and story pacing is just about bloody perfection.

    I can't think of anything I dislike about the story aside from from the feeling you get when the next chapter button is greyed out lmao

    If I didn't know any better I would expect this to be a multi book story and I would also would not be shocked if I saw in on a best seller list or being sold in a bookshop. to any readers out there. If you want to read a book on this site, hell any of the web novel hosting sites  do your self a favor and give this a go. I can be hella picky so if I like something it usually means most would like it

    1st In my reading list, This story is great, that being said 9 naughty out of 127 chapterers don't in my opinion qualify this for the smut tag as smut is usually contains the naughty every other chapter. That said I'm really looking forward to how this story develops further.
