In Another World #2
In Another World, I Must Train my Dungeon: A LitRPG Adventure
There are dog people. There are cat people. Then there are those who keep a dungeon as a pet.
Shana had a big summer: With the help of her best friends and a Hero from another world she’s conquered dungeons, leveled up, defeated a small cult of evil Sorcerers, and looted hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of gold. But maybe the greatest treasure was the dungeon core they found.
With it, Shana and her friends can build a dungeon of their own, one that will reward them gold and experience for defeating enemies. But that’s only if they can figure out how to make it grow. There’s also one other little problem. The dungeon core they “found” had previous owners who are none too happy that it’s gone missing, and who will stop at nothing to get it back.

This is second in a LitRPG series and picks up right after the first. I recommend reading in order. But maybe stop while you’re ahead?
At 40%, I am so done. Everything turned stupid in this book. Shana is treating their dungeon like a pet, reading it bedtime stories for heaven’s sake. And Daniel has lost much of the power he was given by the shady jerks who took his choice away from him. And I kind of hate the lack of respect Shana and Bri have for him while we’re at it. “It’s a tie and Daniel doesn’t count” is an actual thought at one point and I’m all “this is not saying anything about Daniel so much as it says a lot about Shana”.
And then Daniel gets kidnapped again. And Shana is being manipulated to be super-stupid and grossly naïve. And Henry spends half his time doing things on his own. And I just. don’t. care.
One star and I’m so sad this crashed so horrible after the promising start of the first book.

Shana and her friends had found a dungeon core, well they had stolen this from another group and now they wanted to train this dungeon but had no clue how to do this. The other group were not pleased to have this core stolen from them and were adamant they would get it back. Shana wanted to treat her dungeon like one would a pet and she fed it her own mana in order to trigger growth and read to it, as one would a young child. But Henry, the Knight, was wary as he knew that dungeons were dangerous monsters who once grown could eat them alive. Turns out the dungeon core belonged to the circle of diamonds led by Mia, who was also an awakened, and whose charisma as a bard was extremely high. She used her voice and her lute to turn everyone who heard her talk in rhyme and sing into her slave and in fact she enthralled both Daniel and Shana, but Daniel used his time when captured to gather information about the group they were bound to battle with for Penny, their dungeon. I love this exciting 2nd book in this series and the way Penny and Shana are reaching agreements with one another. I do hope that Shana's way with her dungeon will prove more successful than other ways even though her own friends are still sceptical.

Shana, Henry, Daniel, Bri and Nigel, have their own dungeon now and are trying to raise it properly. Only question is, How? They can't just go around feeding it people like most of the other dungeon owners seem to be doing, but maybe... No, no, no, they can't do that.
And then, Mia decides she wants her dungeon back. It appears that keeping a dungeon, is much harder than stealing one.
A thoroughly enjoyable tale, and a fast read. The perspective changes throughout the book, just like it did in the first one, focusing on one of the main four characters, and moving the story along. (Apparently, Nigel is still only a side character.)
The interplay between the characters is fascinating, and often hilarious. Normal humans trying to deal with changes to their abilities (stats). Daniel trying to decide which side of the fence he wants to stay on. Daniel and Shana finding out what an extremely high Charisma can actually do, when forced. What's not to like? Even better, the next book is out next month (Sept 2022)

Нещо като първата част, ама по-скучно.

Great second instalment
Everything that was good about the first book is here. Story that’s actually fun, characters that are distinctly their own entities and mechanics that are juuuuuust present enough to keep it cohesive without becoming a slog to get through.

fun
Henry and gang are at it again. They’ve established a home base and planted a dungeon. Unfortunately for them the original owners want it back, and charm their friends. So it becomes a battle royale where the fight the secret society, rescue their dungeon, in-charm their friends, and don’t die in the process.
It’s still an entertaining series. Great pacing. Well told, great world building, neat magic system. I’m looking forward to the next book. Please enjoy

Thoroughly enjoyed this one, but didn't quite make the 5, so 4.5 again. I'm sure some algorithm is tracking it, but I suspect my average rating has gone up recently since I don't bother finishing anything that wouldn't get a 3 at least and often don't even record the DNFs anymore.
Regardless, this one does what it does quite well, so if you liked the first one this shouldn't disappoint.

The second book, building on the first.
Henry comes back to town, from working on a ranch. (He was really impressed by what the other hands, all Level 1, could do to manage an enormous cow with nothing but a lasso.) Daniel is having trouble with magic. Their dungeon, the title dungeon, is not growing.
The Circle of Diamonds, another of this world's factions, acts against them; Daniel ends up prisoner. And Henry talks to his father about their problems, and they work on the dungeon. Nigel gets involved from his restaurant. It involves immigrants, finishing something by dawn, classes and whether they should acquire them, letting a guy escape, and more.

I love the characters and plot lines in these books. In this particular book, I really enjoyed the rhyming villain, anthropomorphic dungeon, the unexpected hero and love triangle, and the connection with the very hungry caterpillar. Well done. An excellent second book.
