Story
Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Story
Ashlock wakes in the courtyard of a demonic sect... as a tree. A tree that eats people. An odd start to a new life. Almost as strange as the humans flying through the skies on flaming swords and challenging the heavens. After all, this is a world where humans could chase the goal of immortality through the art of cultivation. But Ashlock is merely a sapling in a desolate courtyard, left alone with his thoughts and unable to speak to those passing him by. Unless he does something about it.

The usual result of a human taking a runaway semitruck head-on is a very sudden, very fast track to the pearly gates. But for one newly noncorporeal man, there's another option: become a dungeon. Feeling sorry for the desperate angel assigned to him, the man relents. Heck, if it doesn't work out, he can always chat with Saint Peter about it later. Next thing you know, he's a dungeon. Admittedly, a small run-down, somewhat unimpressive dungeon (more of a house, actually), but you gotta start somewhere, right?

When Kers is reborn as a dungeon core, he finds himself stuck in the most improbable of places: a cloud. High in the sky and far away from the usual solid resources, Kers must face the obvious question: How is a dungeon to build itself without wood or stone? Luckily, Kers has the sarcastic (and sometimes helpful) fairy Selena to help him get his bearings. Together, the pair delight in exploring Kers’ weird existence, creating novel mobs, and enticing adventures to plumb the lofty heights of his floors.

The decision to start a new life is never an easy one, but for Joe the transition was far from figurative. Becoming a permanent addition to a game world, it doesn't take long to learn that people with his abilities are actively hunted. In fact, if the wrong people gained knowledge of what he was capable of, assassins would appear in droves.

Ryan doesn’t remember much about his life before becoming 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. But Ryan quickly learns being a darkness dungeon isn’t all loot and bone puns.

When Alice Verianna went to sleep, she was just another teen from the Denver suburbs. She definitely didn't expect to be transported to a magical alternate dimension, inhabited by monsters and presided over by a mysterious System. Here, people resemble RPG characters and everyone has access to their own status screens. Grappling with the mechanics of the elusive System isn't the only challenge Alice faces. It seems an underground organization known as the Society of Starry Eyes has taken a particular interest in other dimensions.

Unfortunately Average
I wanted to enjoy this book. I've a love for Dungeon Core themed stories, and admittedly love the idea of GLaDOS building a dungeon in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. There's unfortunately just a lot of problems. Whilst the book appears to be written with comedy in mind, character's act very unrealistically. None ever show signs of trauma when any normal person would break down. In addition, there's frequently large skips over all dungeon's development to each new encounter (which all feel the same as all characters are pretty flat) which takes away from the experience. In addition, the RPG elements seem like a cheap gimmick and come across as an easy way of giving the AI protagonist cool stuff without earning it; especially as they mostly just appear and the protagonist never has to get creative or work hard for them.
Overall, if you've already listened to all other Dungeon Lord/Core stories on Audible or just want a decent listen; then give the book a go. I found it decent enough to buy Book 2, but quickly refunded it after finding a lot of the problems in Book 1 were a LOT more common.

Good. Fast
I really enjoyed this book it felt a bit like GLaDOS stuck in a Fallout world plus superpowers (if you aren't a gamer google Portal or GLaDOS and Fallout is a post apocalyptic setting).
My only issue with this book is it's all action then ending. I kept thinking a calmer moment was going to come where we'd get to know Emma a bit more and she'd really get stuck into so updating for tactics. But it was all on the fly. I guess I know from the short play time it wasn't going to be long but damn, I guess I just want more haha!
