Hello all, I thought I’d share some of the series that I’ve been reading the past couple of years that I recommend:
Dungeon Heart
A dying dwarven mastercraftsman accidentally becomes a dungeon core, and has to level and expand his dungeon for his own survival and enrichment of the area.
Dungeon Life
An engineer gets isekaied to become a dungeon core in another world. He turns the magical world upside down with his approaches to things based on his gaming knowledge and scientific/engineering approach to magic.
Dungeon Core Online
A book series by Jonathan Smidt where a VRMMORPG is built around the dungeon core genre, with one person on each server secretly acting as the dungeon core and the rest of the server (which is the local population of their IRL town) thinking he’s an AI in a game that makes them real world money while they sleep every night. Shenanigans ensue. Especially when he picked the “Random” them and starts out with the theme of “Demonic Farm,” later followed by “Steampunk Dinosaurs” on another floor.
Library System Reset
A college student picking a major gets yanked out of the magicless Earth and pulled to the Library of Everywhere, that has been shut down for hundreds of years due to a lack of a compatible Librarian. She has to learn and learn fast before the library collapses and overdue book retrievals can get her killed.
Dungeon Crawler Carl
This series has been exploding in multiple formats recently. Carl survives an alien invasion that kills most of the world and forces the survivors into an underground dungeon crawl as reality television, while giving them a magic and levelling system.
Discount Dan’s
A man drunkenly stumbles into the backrooms, and starts a business empire in the floors underneath our reality. Also, when in doubt, it’s a mimic. Including his best friend, a mimic that looks like a blue dog made out of Croc material.
You might have noticed some common themes in my reading! I love dungeon crawls and the dungeon core genre. These can all be found on Amazon Kindle, and have been a lot of fun. Most of them also have Audible versions as well.
