About this listen

The complete trilogy of Jonathan Smidt's hit 2020 Dungeon Core Series, Elemental Dungeon! This box set is filled with a skeleTON of action, puns, dungeon building, more puns, monster creation, and an iconic cast of characters! Grab your party and dive back into an unforgettable Dungeon Core adventure!

Ryan doesn’t remember much about his life before becoming a 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. With a necromancer on the rise and the Adventurer’s Guild watching his every move, he must prove that not all darkness dungeons are malevolent… even if they do have a few skeletons in their caverns.

Sadly, all of these issues keep distracting him from his own guilty pleasure, skeletal fight club. But don’t tell his fairy about that.

The story starts out ok, the MR'S background is vague and seems to purely be there for a character flaw that appears to get forgotten, however the audio quality starts to degrade in book two, Its sounds like it was rerecorded using a phone after using the correct equipment.

If that was all I would have stuck with it however the writing quality also seams to have gone down with the audio, where as there were some great 4th wall jokes and intriguing character development, in book two it feel like the author have a rigid goal in mind and forced the plot to follow along, having character undo development, to things out of character and even have no real character development for them.

A minor story arc from the first book somehow become a really important plot point that based on the character's personality we would have know about this first form the get go (a real 'don't you know who my father is?' kind of guy).

Normally I would wait until after I finish to review, and if it had been just one issue I could have handled it but I'm almost finding it a chore I dread to continue to do. I will try and come back and finish listening but it honestly feels like know one bothered proofing the finished audio books to at least ensure the audio quality as consistent throughout.

It's a shame as there are some really interesting concepts and character's that I enjoyed, but not enough to keep listening when you have the MC even contemplating somthing he never wanted to in such a forced way.

Gradual decline in quality.

The primise is ok the delivery not so much. i listen to it as background noise. It feels like a long trailer or like it is abridged.

A long trailer.

Good story with fun premise and decent world building, ok characters ( not entirely gripping yet not too boring) and some interesting ideas. yet the dungeon fairy mechanic doesn’t work in my opinion.. the dungeon fairy is just so annoying and gets anything she wants by crying or being angry, her voice is always shrill as well. ( spoiler: she’s 40 years old yet she acts like she’s 10). Good premise but needs some work on the characters.

Good story but annoying sometimes
