About this listen
James thought he would be just another adventurer in the world’s most anticipated dungeon delving VRMMORPG. But when he logs in, he soon finds out that he won’t be diving the dungeon - he will be creating it. Pretty awesome right?
At least that was what he thought when he boldly chose "Random" as his dungeon type....
Then he summoned his first mob. A fearsome, bloodthirsty demonic.... Chicken.
Still, Demonic Farm Animals are the least of his worries. The person who is supposed to be teaching him the ropes is a weirdly advanced AI pixie, who drinks too much and is overly fond of gambling. Oh, and some mysterious figure seems to be watching and judging his every move - so signing that NDA is feeling like less and less of a solid choice.
Either way, James is up for the challenge. Even if it means building a dungeon around kamikaze sheep, enraged cows, unhygienic pigs, and yes...Dickens.
At least his next randomly selected mob type can’t be worse...right?
This is the revised, edited, and novelized retelling of the popular Royal Road web serial Dungeon Core Online by Glyax.

It is well written, with good dialogue between characters and lots of fun references. So many gags, quotes, callouts, and puns. made it really enjoyable.
As always, Travis Baldree makes this a joy and really brings it to life as well.
Definitely worth picking up!
I am really looking forward to book 2!
Very Enjoyable

I love the Dungeon type he ended up with - It certainly puts a different spin on things!
The story keeps moving and the characters have enough of a personality to keep it interesting and the narrator keeps a good pace going.
I don't want to put spoilers into this so I'm going to stop there.
I'm a bit surprised...

Death by chicken ..

I decided I might listen to something more entertaining that also wastes less of my time.
I was hoping for something like 'unorthodox farming' or 'battle mage farmer' but alas.
after 3 hours nothing has happened

The narrator delivers a typically strong performance, helping to bring the characters to life even more.
Overall, an entertaining listen and a good start to this series.

I admit that I was drawn to this book purely due to the cover, after all, it's a flipping giant, fire breathing Rooster!
What I found was a story full of recognisable references from bygone years of gaming through to more recent OPs. I see a lot of reviews referring to this in a negative light but I for one enjoyed spotting these and it made me like the protagonist more for it.
Story-eise, while I applaud the story for avoiding the cliché 'trapped in a game- shenanigans, I did find James' reasons for becoming involved in DCO rather weak and this side of the story needed a lot more fleshing out to explain his motivations. Considering the perceived threats and dangers he fa es, I felt his justification for continuing with the game very weak.
In game I did enjoy the play between Rue and Glyax but the sexual tension really did feel unnecessary and shoe-horned in to tick some mental checkbox for Gamelit stories. Besides that, the I terplay was great and given real chops thanks to the narration by Travis Beldree which was faultless throughout the story.
Meanwhile the mobs were interesting and fun and the names given to their abilities (both for the mobs and players) really made me chuckle at times and made me want to install a Worms game to start unleashing exploding sheep on one another.
The story ended at a suitable strong cliff-hanger but I generally like some sense of fulfillment or success for the MC prior to the end but this didn't happen and it made the end rather jarring.
Overall I did enjoy it. There is a lot to like here with the camaraderie between characters and the novel and amusing mobs and abilities all brilliant presented by the narrator but the real-world side is very lacking and does let an otherwise excellent story down somewhat.
A fun, if slightly vanilla, story.
