About this listen

All that Tacca Gloom Lily ever wanted to be since she was very little was a fairy assistant to a Dungeon Core. After her negatively portentous birth, however, she was never fully accepted by her superstitious peers and instructors at the Dungeon Assistant Preparatory School; nevertheless, she persisted in her studies and graduated at the top of her class.

Unfortunately for her, the “hands-on” training she was supposed to receive from a Mentor and his Bonded Dungeon Core didn’t go the way she would’ve hoped. In fact, the stigma attached to her origins finally made itself known in the form of horrendously “bad luck”; the rotten part of her newly discovered luck was that it adversely affected Cores that she happened to be near, and not just herself.

What can a Dungeon Assistant Fairy do when every Dungeon Core she gets near ends up being destroyed? Tacca had no idea, but a solution eventually presents itself - though it’s one that she never saw coming....

This story contains Dungeon Core elements such as dungeon construction and defense, LitRPG/GameLit mechanics such as character progression and stats, and contains no harems/sexual content or profanity.

This is a pretty unique story that I really enjoyed. A nice spin on a dungeon core story that turned out to be interesting.

The narration was great and the voices he does were spot on. The flow was good and there wasn't any parts that felt too slow as far as I could hear I don't think. Yeh, would recommend.

Excellent story

I am still pretty new to the whole LitRPG books, this book has a really interesting mix of dungeon core, fairy and general adventuring / stats.

It's a solid story with lots of options for more books, the MC is strong and the pace of the story is very good, it kinda goes in a direction that I did not expect at all.

I would definitely recommend this book to any LitRPG fan.

What a great idea/mix up of LitRPG elements

Ever wonder what it would be like if the dungeon core had knowledge of almost everything up front? Then wait no more and check out this series as Tacca, a dungeon fairy, get transformed into a core.

Great start to new series

-This is a free copy review of the audiobook-

This book series is a great spin compared to a more "normal" dungeon core novel, instead of a reincarnated individual from Earth, a native person that died, a person without memories or other more mundane settings, in this book the MC is a person that has lots of theoretical knowlodge about dungeons, monsters and raiders. The MC is a dungeon assistant fairy that had passed with flying colors the DAPS as pratically the top student and with tons of theoretical knowlodge, if only for her birth circunstances, she'd be the perfect dungeon fairy. For some reason(not gonna write because it could spoil the series for the listeners), the dungeon coress that she's assigned all meet an unfortunate ending(the core's destruction). For that reason she's repeteadly being allocated to different cores, all of which are destroyed really quick too. One core however does something very different and she ends up dying and her soul sucked up into said core.
After that she has to try to build a dungeon(because being stuck in a little room not being able to do a thing gets boring, fast) her status is a bit different, she has status as both a dungeon core and a dungeon fairy assistant, with a timer to receive her EXP(forgot the exact term on this book, too lazy to search it) to level up being a LOT faster than a normal core. This advantage isn't without some problems though, both her max Fairy Mana and Dungeon Force are halved, also she can't use too much Dungeon Force in a brief period of time, if she does that, her core will suffer some cracks, this happens because something that shouldn't be done to cores was done to her core(like shoving a foreign soul in a dungeon core that wasn't meant to it in the first place).
In this first book it shows that and shows how Taka( the MC) builds her dungeon(along with a future dungeon fairy assistant that shows up later), with some differents strategies as to how she build her dungeon core.

Great spin for a Dungeon Core book

First off this is my first Audio Book i have ever listened too.
I really enjoyed the story and the overall pace and performance of the book.
The Narrator for me was good too.

The only down side for me was the reading of the stat blocks - This for me did not work and put me to sleep... In all the other books Jonathan Brooks has published and I have read I could skip them in the ebooks. I am not saying this is a negative to the E/Audio Book, it just did not work for me.

I have bought the ebook to read through and I am going to read his Dungeon World 5 book.. :)

Thanks Jonathan... :)

Excellent Ebook/Audio Book. Well worth it.

Jonathan has opened up my eyes to the dungeon core litrpg books and I couldn’t be happier that he did. Becoming a big fan on his work and this book is def up there with them. I was really hooked on the story and did feel for the MC with her bad luck, which made it even more enjoyable when things changed for her. Have already started the second book, instantly when I finished this one. In my opinion, def worth giving this, as well as Jonathan’s other books, a listen.

Loved every second

Loved the concept of this series, and I'm looking forward to the next instalment. It is well characterised, and brought nicely to life by Miles's voice talents. If you've looked any of Jonathan's other works, it's a pretty good bet that you'll enjoy this one too, and if you've never tried his books, this is a good one to start with.

Interesting new series.

A fantastic story with a diffrent feel and angle from most other dungeon core books I've read/listened to. I enjoyed the direction of the book and I am looking forward to book 2.

Great new take on dungeon core

Just like building a dungeon, this first book in the series gives a great foundation for a great series. I couldnt wait to see what happens next and raced on to book 2 I recommend you do too.

Fantastical fairy
