About this listen

After Christmas and Valentine’s Day, Elmer is back for yet another holiday experience....

Elmer Robbins has somehow managed to survive his new existence as a dungeon core, despite everything working against him. After first creating a Christmas-themed section and then a Valentine’s Day-themed series of rooms, he began to acquire enough life force from unfortunate adventurers dying inside of his dungeon, allowing him to repeatedly increase his core level. Now as he advances yet another level, he can feel the barrier inside of his core becoming thinner, which is bringing him closer to being reunited with his wife’s soul.

Unfortunately, his progress is slow, and progress is starting to become stagnant, as his dungeon isn’t as much of a draw as it once was. To encourage additional, stronger adventurers to delve through his dungeon, he needs a new attraction. As he is a holiday-themed dungeon, he has the perfect idea for a brand-new section: Easter.

But will jellybeans, chocolate eggs, marshmallow chicks, and the Easter Bunny be enough to entice a whole new quality level of adventurer? Or will it draw the wrong kind attention? It’s time for Elmer to take that gamble, otherwise he’ll never get a chance to free his Mary from her imprisonment.

Easter Core is a short novella set in a unique universe that contains litRPG and dungeon core elements such as stats and character progression. Contains no foul language, explicit sexual content, or harems.

Normally I wouldn't tend to listen to a novella as I'd go through them in a single sitting, but I have enjoyed all the other works by this prolific author so gave this one a try. I am glad I did as even jumping into this serie with the 3rd book, I quickly caught up with the backstory and was drawn into this installment as the MC came across well from the outset.

The story was further helped by a generally strong performance by the narrator with my only slight complaint being that some of the supporting cast could have been a bit more distinct from each other.

Overall, this was an entertaining listen that I would recommend to anyone who can see past the runtime, but for those that cannot then the author has a number of great series to also check out instead.
