The Crafter’s Dungeon
The Crafter’s Defense
The Crafter’s Dilemma
What happens when a knowledgeable crafter becomes a Dungeon Core?

Sandra had been a merchant traveling through the human lands of Muriel, though that wouldn’t have been her chosen profession. What she would’ve loved to become was a crafter, producing wondrous creations with her own two hands; however, she didn’t want to become a master in just one craft she was interested in them all. Sadly, she was born with a deformity in her hands which hindered her ability to produce crafts, though that didn’t affect her enthusiasm; she sought out the masters of a myriad of different crafts so that she could learn as much about crafting as she could. It was that pursuit of knowledge that ultimately led to her untimely death.

Reborn as a tiny Dungeon Core, Sandra had to learn about the purpose behind dungeons and Cores from an assigned dungeon helper. Through some unique circumstances based on her previous life, she also discovered that she had much more freedom than most other Dungeon Cores throughout the world. Unfortunately, the repercussions of her mere existence would end up being extensive, as she would find, though at first she doesn’t quite realize how much. In fact, the only thing she was concerned about had nothing to do with other Cores, the presence of the different mortal races nearby her location, or even the real purpose behind her being brought back to life as a strange glowing gem.

No, Sandra didn’t care about any of that; all she cared about was that she could finally do some crafting.

These Dungeon Core stories contain LitRPG/GameLit elements such as statistics, leveling, and a heavy crafting emphasis. No profanity and no harems.

Great story building, and character development. The main character, Sandra, is clever and finds all sorts of solutions to problems. Sometimes they are followed by repercussions that are hidden until later when something not so good happens as a result. The series is filled with twists and turns. This was a fun read, and I can't wait to get started on the last three books in the series.

Interesting variation in the litrpg genre

I really liked seeing things from a dungeon core's point of view.
Plus we get to see things from several races points of view.
This set is part of a collection of sets from the same universe, but not necessarily overlapping in plots.
It remains to be seen whether each set continues with the interesting writing but I have high hopes.

excellent twist on LitRPG. follow a great one as a dungeon core

Well written story with enough action for anyone. I’m sure you’ve read these type of stories from a protagonist viewpoint. Great idea to flip that & see the world from the side of a dungeon core.

I’m sure you will love this story arc.

Lot of fun

I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this series. I typically don't enjoy dungeon core stories. They tend to feel forced for me. This felt a lot more natural and a fun read. I'm looking forward to the next one

I thoroughly enjoyed this set. The first book or two in the set could have used a little more polish, and I am curious to see how the author is going to handle the steadily ramping consequences of the actions of Sandra. I have already picked up the next few books to see where this one goes.

What a spooky world to live in

I never expected a dungeon to be a world one would survive living in. Fortunately I don’t have to reside there.
