She wanted to be a Necromancer, but awakened as a Saint! Somehow her summoned heroes are all undead? How will the church react when their Saintess summons a skeleton in place of a mighty hero? Sofia isn’t too keen on finding out. In this world, Gods choose [Saints], and [Saints] summon [Heroes] from other worlds; everyone knows that. But Sofia had a thing for bones ever since she was a child; there’s only one [Class] she wants: [Necromancer]! When, by the whims of fate, she gets both classes at the same time, the system breaks.

As an anti-social art major perpetually at risk of dropping out, college life wasn't a great fit for Momo. When she wakes up one morning in a dark cavern full of sentient skeletons and oddball introverts who call themselves necromancers, she knows a new era of her life is about to start. Chosen for her meek and harmless personality, she is able to exist under the radar as she completes the Dawn's necromantic missions. Watch her as she gains confidence (and class levels), and reluctantly rises from meager apprentice to self-assured queen of the underworld.

Story
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.

Story
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 power-hungry Everly is reborn into a medieval world where elemental magic rules and she receives her elemental servants—the oddly sadistic Eris and the fun-loving Titania—years earlier than one typically would, she knows she's destined for a command of necromantic magic the likes of which her peers can only dream.

She's unlike any one or any thing else: a Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer aka NSLICE-00P. The first of her kind, she's let loose into a universe of superheroes on behalf of her sinister masters to destroy all who oppose them. And everything's going according to plan—until NSLICE-00P gets hacked and sent into the past to kill her own creator before he creates her. Obeying orders as always, she wastes the poor guy. Unfortunately, there are consequences to initiating a reality-breaking time paradox. The most significant: total ejection from that reality.

On a typical day, on an average train platform, two warring sister goddesses found their avatars. One avatar, the young Yoshi, was swept away to the world of Ephemera to be a great hero of honor, courage, and light. The other, the not-so-young Seiji, was swept away to become a dark lord out to kill or conquer all in his path. But Seiji is in absolutely no mood for that nonsense. It's bad enough that on Earth he was a closed-off, misanthropic grouch with zero patience for other people. Now he's supposed to muster enough of a give-a-damn to lead vile hordes?

The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, was tired of all the fighting and politicking that had described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace.

Especially not Eris Lanyer, lord of the city, the very same who was supposed to keep people such as myself safe! The nobleman killed me without a second thought for the sole purpose of testing the blade he had just acquired! So here I am, burning with such a rage at this flagrant lack of justice. My hate is so immense that I'm unable to pass to the afterlife, and so I return as a Revenant.

Publisher's summary
A run-of-the-mill hero meets his match in the form of a dungeon that's not what it seems in this adventurous fantasy romance for fans of isekai LitRPG.
Kelsey never imagined she'd be transported to a different world and reborn as a sentient dungeon. And it's not like her disembodied soul had much choice in the matter . . .
Being a small dungeon on the outskirts of town in the backwaters of an unimportant kingdom isn't easy, but Kelsey's done her best to level up and become the best dungeon she can be: Digging a hole of ever-increasing depth and complexity. Creating an undead atmosphere that would make a necromancer proud. Spawning monsters and treasure. Killing adventurers. But lately, things have gotten a bit stale.
When a hottie of an adventurer staggers into her cave, Kelsey decides to grab life by the throat. With a newly formed avatar and a deal that makes things very difficult for her heroic new companion, this dungeon is going to do exactly what she wants for the first time in, well, forever— and have the best time doing it.
From the author of Phantasm: The first volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—originally released on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Traveling to distant, exotic lands and meeting interesting, exciting people is all part of Kelsey's gig as a dungeon. And if she has to kill someone, well . . . they probably had it coming. Ever at her—or at least her avatar's—side is the dependable Anton, and now he's leading her on a quest across the ocean to rescue his people from slavery. That doesn't mean Kelsey can neglect the home front though. Her putative liege, Suliel, has earned a telepathic link to her, allowing the dungeon to coordinate the development of the barony.

On a typical day, on an average train platform, two warring sister goddesses found their avatars. One avatar, the young Yoshi, was swept away to the world of Ephemera to be a great hero of honor, courage, and light. The other, the not-so-young Seiji, was swept away to become a dark lord out to kill or conquer all in his path. But Seiji is in absolutely no mood for that nonsense. It's bad enough that on Earth he was a closed-off, misanthropic grouch with zero patience for other people. Now he's supposed to muster enough of a give-a-damn to lead vile hordes?

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?

Story
It seems like a lifetime ago that Thedeim was a mortal man. After a fatal accident, he was transported to a strange realm to begin again as a living low-level dungeon. But he didn't stay small for long. With a powerful will, he built his dungeon self into a force to be reckoned with, full of minions, creepy crawlies, and a hedge maze to die for. Except Thedeim isn't a place where delvers die. He's a different, friendlier kind of dungeon, which suits both him and his many allies just fine. But being a nice dungeon means taking on some not-so-nice entities.

Sorry... Really? Thrust? Anyway, Danny Kendrick was a down-on-his luck performer who always struggled to find his place. He certainly never wanted to be a hero. He just hoped to earn a living doing what he loved. That all changes when he pisses off the wrong guy and gets sucked into a fantasy realm straight out of a Renaissance Fair. Getting used to a new world is tough. It's even tougher when you're surrounded by axe-wielding barbarians, super hot elf assassins, strange magic, and a jaded System that doesn't appear interested in being charged with yet another companion.

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.

Unique and fun story
I've read a lot of Dungeon core books both spicy and non-spicy. This is a take on the genre that I haven't read previously. It's fun and told from multiple perspectives but the main character is a female dungeon. No, this isn't reverse harem it's something different. It's fun while also not being slice of life but action and goal oriented with a little spice (tastefully done). I will definitely check out the next installment.

Shockingly well written for a morally compromised story
Though the story is very well written and has a lot of fun to it, it is also very detailed about sexual behavior in more than three places. It's not especially vulgar and it could be used as a bit of entertainment and information source for someone just marrying for their wedding night. After all, that is pretty much what the main characters do. They all get married with three (two, by the laws of humans) wives and one man. The dungeon core is the source influence of all promiscuity and the idea of polygamy. Though, it appears that everyone, meaning everyone, has little regard for actual marriage before sex. In this one way it is morally compromised, so any other form of immorality is secondary or less. The characters all care about each other and the story has a bit of intrigue, Adventure, and does feel a little bit fitting to the Epic tag that was given to it.
Despite my warning that the story is morally compromised it is actually very well written and not offensive other than the fact that some will dislike the contents being so detailed about sexual behavior. Since the corruption seems to come mostly from a sunlight amoral dungeon it doesn'tfeel like an attempt to seduce the listener.

Pretty Good
This is one of those harem fantasy books and while there are a couple sex scenes most of the focus is on the story. The harem element isn’t some creepy mind slave thing either, it makes sense in the story.
My only complaint is that the narrator has a hard time doing multiple makes voices so it was a little difficult to tell who was speaking when there was more than one male character in a scene.
Another thing I don’t like is that 2 of the love interests names sound very similar. It can be hard to tell them apart.

A Weird Harem
So this story takes a different path from the usual dungeon core book. MC is the dungeon with a female human Avatar body. She forms a contract with a young man on the brink of death from there she forces him into a weird harem with all the girls in his life. There are several chapters that are just sex scenes. the other story beats play as a political drama and some litrpg proggresion.

Wow, I had no idea that the offers released a second series until the second book showed up to be pre-ordered this first book of the series does not show up for me on the offer page. But I also enjoyed the difference in this book. It was great fun.

Could use some work
Story was Decent. but.... only 1 character was likable. the other 3 were unbelievable, meek, embarrassed and all around lacking consistance. I had to skip the bedroom adventures because they may have been written by a teenager. The saving grace was the reader did a great job bringing life to the story.
the author needs to work on consistance and on development of for characters.

A horny dungeon ensites a civil war
This book had me confused as to what I was actually listening to. There's some good political and action stuff going on but then some badly written porn randomly skatted amongst it. If you like dungeon core I would give it a miss.

Ok with some flaws
First, fair warning, some examples from the story may be used, so spoiler warning.
Second, let's get this out of the way and I'm putting this at the top for readers/listeners who may be swayed by, as of the time that I'm typing this, two of the not-so-positive reviews who called this story a harem. It's not necessarily a harem. While yes, there are multiple (3 in this book) women that have an intimate relationship with one male MC, the relationships and dynamics of this unorthodox relationship don't really fit the HaremLit genre. I suspect that people who will call this a harem story are not readers of haremlit and that's sort of evident by the two reviews considering this a negative thing. But to get into why I don't consider it necessarily a harem story, I have to get more into some other issues with the story.
I'm not sure who the main character is really supposed to be because the story is told primarily from the male MC's perspective, that's Anton. After him, it vacillates between three main female characters. Anton's fiancé, Aris, a girl who has a crush on Anton named Suiliel, and a Fairy named Mel. It's very rarely, if at all told from Kelsey, THE DUNGEON's perspective. Yet, Kelsey is the driving force of everything that happens in the story. This is another reason I'd say this doesn't really fall in the realm of HaremLit and more in the realm of Polyamory. Anton doesn't really have any agency. The story gives the three female characters, more so two of them, far more agency and control over the direction of the story.
The harem also starts because Kelsey makes a deal with Anton to save his life (that much can be deduced in the blurb) but the deal puts sort of a restriction ONLY ON HIM that he cannot be further than 10 yards from Kelsey (or The Dungeon since Kelsey is the Dungeon and most of the action takes place through her avatar). Lots of HaremLit fans will be turned off because Anton is mostly dragged along according to Kelsey's whims and doesn't have any real agency or driving force on the story. He never makes any actual decisions. It's all Kelsey and/or the other two females making decisions for him and then he will agree to them. He does offer some pushback for Kelsey and helps start to humanize her a bit more than she was at the beginning of the story which leads me to my biggest issue with the story.
Characterizations. First, this is a net story that you can find on Royal Road if you type the title into your favorite search engine. For me, a lot of net stories brought over from online platforms that are written as stories forced to update weekly don't receive the attention they need to reformat the whole story into an adequate novel. Character development, in this case, is lacking. While some does happen, I felt certain things were obviously forced to happen because the author wanted them to. My biggest gripe was early on I felt that the author skipped a scene that would've allowed the reader/listener to connect more with Anton. There was a funeral scene for his parents that the author skipped to quickly get back to Kelsey's antics. Also, Aris, comes from a traditionalist conservative family, but the author has her easily manipulated...errr...talked into her first somewhat intimate experience outside of kissing, etc. to be with Kelsey, a female? She's also easily talked into allowing her fiancé to have a harem when that doesn't seem to be a common thing within this society although it's a rarity. About the only two characters that have strong characters are Kelsey and Suliel. Anton, as I said before, isn't even allowed by the author to stand strong on some of his principles since he's just dragged along by Kelsey's whims. It would've been nice to have him stand a bit sterner against her on things like killing haphazardly, manipulating people into deals, etc. Yes, some of that he does, but it's not as impactful as it should be because of the way Kelsey is written to just sort of blow things off even if she's listening to someone and taking in what they're saying. Then there's Kelsey.
My main gripe about her is that Hall/Maxlex commits one of my major pet peeves. When an author creates a character that supposed to be mentally older than they are and then sort of badly writes them as either a pop culture stereotypical old person or a sometimey young minded sometimey old minded person. In this case it's both. Kelsey is said to be decades old as a dungeon on this world, but then you need to add in the amount of time she lived in the modern world which isn't given in this installment. This makes Kelsey somewhere between possibly, at least 50 - 100+ years old mentally. I say this because as I said, the author uses what I consider badly written elderly in pop culture phrases - "Kiddo, You Kids, C'mon Kid, Kid this and that" in a patronizing way and not in a way that's funny or IMHO how actual elderly addresses youth in that way. Yes, they say it, but not as constantly as Kelsey said it. This was contrasted with what I considered her childish behavior and personality. Especially around sex. But mostly around how she very rarely seemed to consider or care about the feelings of those around her outside of the group of people she decided to embrace as her "partners." She'll come off as unlikable to some readers/listeners until a certain point in the story where she suddenly starts to care more about her "partners" most specifically Anton, but she will say that all of this, all of her actions, are ultimately selfish and done for her benefit.
Then there's the deal. At first I was fine with it, but then as the story goes along you come to realize that Kelsey put somewhat a far more restrictive deal on Anton than she did on others. Especially by the end and she makes a deal with two of the original enemies of Anton's town. One could argue that this was because of Anton's (and by the end Suliel's) influence on her, but it came off as callous. And even when the author had a scene where Anton was finally able to express his frustrations with Kelsey's trick, as I said, she pretty much blows it off in her own way and with her own retorts although she's supposed to be doing this confrontation with him to help their 'relationship.' Equally when she's confronted by others for her actions, she does the same thing, but back to the deal. She refuses to call it "enslavement" because Anton has a significant amount of freedom (other than not being able to be apart from her for long periods of time and further than 10 yards away or even with walls or barriers in between them). She also never stipulated a timeline for the deal to end because in her words, she didn't want there to be an end to it when she puts an ending to the deal of the two captured enemy soldiers. I should emphasize here that the word "deal" may make it seem something that's not so serious, but it's more like a magical binding, a supernatural contract that's enforced by some supernatural hidden force that prevents them from breaking their promises and sort of compels them to comply. I should also add that there was some implication that Kelsey had compulsion over Anton in the beginning where she would tell him to do a thing and he just did it, even if he didn't really want to. This was lost overtime in the narrative as I suspect the author decided to go a different direction with their relationship or something. Dunno.
Coming to a close, I should offer a trigger warning for some people. Although Anton in the cover art has somewhat a decent tan, the story itself speaks of the Zamarans (Anton's people) having significant dark skin, but they (mostly their young women) are often enslaved by the kingdom that's their enemy. Suliel herself is said to have extremely dark skin that's considered an exotic beauty among her social class. I suspect the author did this to contrast the nearby town against Kelsey's super white/pale skin. Dunno. While there's no issues of "slavery" discussed in the story outside of Anton considering his bonding with Kelsey to be that, I just thought I'd offer that warning for some people because the upcoming plot in the next book will revolve around that and saving the captives of the aforementioned conflict between Anton's people and the enemy kingdom.
Overall, the story isn't bad. I got through the whole thing. I'd caution against those who aren't fond of situational-slice-of-life stories (action and adventure stories that sort of meander about) then you might not be too interested in this. Or to put it more specifically, I'd caution those who aren't fond of stories that don't have an overarching plot. The plot that starts the story turns out to be a lie from Kelsey, I'll leave that at that. A plot does develop over halfway into the story with Suliel, I'll leave it at that. In between other overarching plots rise up. One is around Aris and one is around something else. By the end, the story is left on the cliffhanger of the Suliel, Aris, and other plot. Again, I remind you that this started as a net story that's pretty much still ongoing.
It was an entertaining story. I just wish that there was more depth to it. Especially Anton and he was written a bit more to be a balance to Kelsey. As it stands now by the end of the story, it seems Suliel will be more of a balance to Kelsey and Anton and Aris are just along for the ride. Perhaps, Hall/Maxlex intnds to explore this more as the story goes further, but the main problem here was the character depth and relationships for me. Most of it was drowned out by Kelsey's antics, dragging Anton and forcing the meandering plot along until the aforementioned plot took hold and at that point that's when the story got far more interesting for me. I get some of these stories aren't meant to be super serious, but I feel when serious elements are inserted into them then the author can't fall back on the excuse of "this is just a light hearted story, don't think too hard about it." So, not a bad story, not great, but your mileage may vary.

Terrible MC
The one thing I have no qualm about is the narrator, she did a great job. the rest however, is tainted by the terrible Mc. she's sadistic and irritating and yet I'm supposed to like her? The worst part though is how she inserts her way into the various other characters relationships. she's that crazy horny girl at a party trying to hook up with people who are clearly not into it. and yet she wears them down, rolls her eyes when the guy has an emotional moment, pushes the girls into situations that they clearly have no interest in at first and only copitulate to when they realize that this preditor won't leave them alone.
