**This volume contains the first three novels in the Dungeon Slayer 'The Dungeon Slayer,' 'The Dungeon Destroyer,' and 'The Dungeon Leader' all of which are available separately.**
Mankind has been under attack for fifty years by the awesome power of bosses and monsters who are the denizens of dungeons. Monsters started these attacks when a mystical beast named Raekast appeared and threatened the world, eradicating human life from several continents. Raekast threatened all human life until a mysterious ceremony called 'Rebirth' unlocked the hidden potential of humans strong enough to repel and defeat her. Raekast’s final, desperate act caused dungeons to spawn across the globe. The greatest of these dungeons is known as Titan. Dungeons are a threat to humanity and nature alike. Powerful reborn humans known as 'Slayers' enter their dangerous depths to kill the monsters and bosses that live within and retrieve treasure, items and more.
Tad Harrington, a video game loving 16-year-old high school student, was bullied relentlessly throughout his life. Tad’s Rebirth date has come. His last hope is to be reborn a slayer strong enough to enter the toughest dungeons where a life of power and luxury could await him.
When things don’t go according to plan, Tad finds out he has a special Rebirth, one that can level up and grow stronger by defeating monsters. Starting from level one, how high can Tad climb? Can he overcome the challenges and become the ultimate dungeon slayer?
The mc’s decisions were excruciating especially during combat. A haircut?! Really? Falcon attack: use lightning bolt? Fire? Ice? Nope, let’s go dual daggers against the bird! Whoops lost a dagger forever. Use an AOE attack when you can’t see? Nah. I had to skip to the end of combat many times. But the story is good. Solid world and danger. I did not like the last dungeon in book 3 it seemed to defy all rules of dungeons. I still don’t understand how a dungeon diver from the past took it over and made up his own rules.
Still a good story. I'm liking the main character and I'm sure he'll get his head on straight soon. The writing is top-notch. His character fights are tremendous, and his descriptive narratives aren't quite poetry, but some of them get close. I grabbed the box set so I could read the third book, so that's why you see the odd review listings. It's a good series. Give it a shot if you like LitRPG.
