Dungeon Instinct

The multiverse is a big place, and it is also constantly in flux. As such sometimes mistakes occur, impossibilities that should have never come into existence. An aspect of corruption born naturally of a mortal and a divine, a Void that is a singularity instead of a duality, a being that came to be before existence ever was, a forgotten that is not damned, the possibilities are infinite and limitless, and thus so are the possible mistakes in this grand multiverse. But are not mistakes more entertaining to watch?
For Kelic the Blightborn, life was suffering. Born of a holy Templar dedicated to serving the Forgotten Guardian and a powerful abyssal demon queen that raped said Templar, Kelic’s first sight and sensation in Quellios and its realms was being baptized in the life-blood of his dying father. Tortured in the 1425th level of the abyss for ten years, Kelic was only set free of this constant nightmare of an existence by the unintended results of the Ascendant Angel’s rise to true divinity.
His freedom from the abyss was not the paradise that the young Kelic thought however, as he was branded a BlightBorn, or a child of tragedy that brings only misfortune, by the people of Quellios. Abused by all he ever knew or met the boy found solace in only in the things of beauty and the act of reading, a skill he taught himself. His latent ability to comprehend and remember all of what he read and the sheer speed of his reading gained the attention of a prominent figure of Evrette Academy Island. Taken in by the famous mage Fredrick Dunhousen, Kelic lived in peace for the first time in his young life… that is until he was killed.
Follow the tale of a newly born dungeon core in the world of Eserthet, that has only one single purpose. One single purpose it decided for itself...

Love the story. Each chapter is lengthy and so much detail is put into them, as well as the amount of foreshadowing and story structure. Everything is planned out and flows smoothly. My favorite character is Ralt. I just love the guy and all the characters have personality. The comedy isn't overbearing and is smooth yet still funny.
Man, this was a good novel. And now it's in hiatus. 😢😢😢

An artistic masterpiece that manages to be both emotionally moving, and also hilarious depending on the chapter and tone……. It’s perfection itself…………..
Ok I got that out of my system, but really now time for my real thoughts. It is going to be like a more serious and a little less comedy driven version of B.B. just REALLY different……. You WILL get spoilers for some plot points of B.B. as this story begins around ark 5 of B.B. soooo…….. You were warned.
also this story is gonna get dark, our MC this time around isn’t insane, in fact it is QUITE sane, but the MC doesn’t have any problem with doing both amazing and good things or just as easily horrible and nightmarish things depending on the target of said actions.
Also dungeon building and stuffs…..
Hope you like this extension of my multiverse!!!!!
This is my first review on this site although I have read (or still reading) at least 20 other stories here and I have to say this is one of the best stories overall and currently the best "dungeon" themed story from all others. There are some negative reviews here that ALMOST made me skip this one but they are for 1-2 first chapters (if you don't believe me look at the dates they were made vs chapter dates). The story starts about semi-random stuff (tied to the story but kinda jumbled up) but it evolves to so much more! This dungeon "evolution" that increases dungeon power in all similar stories here actually is really well done, it even sounds believable and, finally, gives so many possibilities to expand the story which I find highly expecting with anticipation. Also MC is well defined (emotionally) for a dungeon which I find very nice to loose that "human" personification which many similar stories go for. Good work man! MOAR CHAPTERS! :)
I quite liked it, really confused me at first but was pretty much able to piece together what ( I think ) is going on, has got good potential, setting up quite a few option and characters further down the line so its nice that it leaves some speculation as to what could happen. Didn't really have any problems with the grammar, understood everything well enough, I might be a bit biased as I REALLY like dungeon core type stories. Looking forward to where this is going.
The first volume is great and easily makes this one of the best dungeon stories I have read, The Slime Dungeon and Divine Dungeon being the others I consider good, I consider this one even better in some ways, especially fleshing out the bosses and helpers, Ralt and Hanna especially.
I will definetly buy if it gets published, or better yet made into an audible. Looking forward to volume two and having some questions answered, like what is Nora and seeing Vera return.
Its all in the title has I said so keep up the great series.
I stopped reading at chapter 14.
Story: It's not great, a slice of life without plot, a bit weird for the dramatic prologue, you would expect some story about vengeance and stuff but no he slept for 10 million years and forgot everything, I don't even know why his past life was introduced at all since it's so unimportant.
Character: Well a harem story and not a good one. Mc is designed as intelligent, curious and more so naive, something that makes him either nice or terrifying, but he is a bit bland and lack depth something you can excuse with his lack of memory and his actual condition but others character fail to get my interest.
Grammar: I think it's good, I can't be a good judge since I'm not fluent but I was still able to spot few mistakes and weird sentences.
Style: This is what bothers me the most in this work, there is a lot of long hard to read paragraphs that I skipped more than once, a lot repetition and the side story that is just a change of pov, having everybody pov for one event is not interesting and it's very long, I think the author did that because of his choice to write in the 1st person.
And finally, the way it was written feels childish that contrast a bit with the darker theme the author try to slowly introduce and oddly, I felt like I was reading some translated Japanese light novel.
Honestly this has been one of my favorite stories to read on rrl. That being said, the author has a nasty tendency to stop writing for older stories. While it seems the story will continue, the author is constantly writing content for new ideas instead of finishing the ones that are already popular. It has even gotten to the point that the author has posted chapters in stories like di to bounce ideas for new stories off of his readership. And THAT folks, sickens me. There is little that I dislike more than finding a new chapter in my bookmarks only to have the author basically rub in my face that they are not working on the story I subscribed to. I'm on the edge of giving up on the author entirely because of it.
