Lothar has lots of new problems. Being dead is not one of them.
He thought a life of bloodshed was behind him after the war ended. He had exchanged his spear and armor for the pitchfork and simple clothes of a humble farmer. Until, a routine trip to the city to sell some livestock at the market went horribly wrong.
Now he is a "dungeon core," as his seductive and subservient fairy tells him. If he doesn't want to die in a catastrophic magical explosion like the last core--he needs to take this seriously.
That's easier said than done when you have a fairy like Harmony to distract you with her ... many assets.
WARNING: This dark fantasy book contains adult situations. There's violence, depravity, and you can forget about "fade to black." If you are easily shocked, please find something else to read.
I’d have to say this book is about 60% sex, either talking about it, the mc involved In it or talking about how sexually appealing his partner is. Not much actual dungeon building to be fair. And even though xp and levels were mentioned at no point did the mc level up. More of an intro to a soft porn book with dungeon core/master elements than an actual dungeon core book.
I liked it a lot. It has all the components of a good dungeon core story except for the core itself. The core comes across like Bob Ross painting a happy little scene. As opposed to other core stories I have read. Not a place for a nice guy!
It's a soft 4, but better than 3 in terms of my overall experience so 4 it is. I can't plot a line from one point, so this may or may not be a worthwhile series. On the basis of this book I'll give a second one a chance but it's not on my "need to read" list just yet.
