Summary

Ryan doesn’t remember much about his life before becoming dungeon core. Only that he had a bit of a disagreement with the church - something to do with a beheading?

Now reborn, Ryan begins to arm his darkness dungeon with devious traps, bestial zombies, and ill-named skeletal creations, without doing anything too evil. Well, mostly. Some adventurers just deserve a stalactite to the head.

But Ryan quickly learns being a darkness dungeon isn’t all loot and bone puns. With a necromancer on the rise and the Adventurer’s Guild watching his every move, he must prove that not all darkness dungeons are malevolent...even if they do have a few skeletons in their caverns.

Sadly, all of these issues keep distracting him from his own guilty pleasure, skeletal fight club. But don’t tell his fairy about that.

a bit awkward

It's starts slow and very tedious but the story does picks up later in the book, but I don't know if it's the narrator or the word play but most of the book just sounds awkward especially from the dungeon to the fairy. It literally made me want to quit multiple times, but it does have potential I am very unsure whether I will continue this series

Watch out for stalactites

This is a brilliant book. It was a fresh breath withing it genre. I absolutely love this one. Ok, now I just give it too much praise - but just can't help it.. It's a little straight forward - easy to guess, but what fantasy dungeon book isn't.. One of the funny books, and love the sound production..

Enjoyed it more then divine dungeon

Its practicaly the same as dakota’s divine dungeon but better ? Well in some ways, there is not as much drama and political stuff in this book, other then that its kinda the exactly the same.

Really great work for the narrator but the editing should add in a mute sound option cause that cringy background sound is like supermariobro’s/skyro/zelda?/pirate thene. It sounds and feels terrible and makes the epic dungeon diving much less epic. Imagine your in a game and there’s always this one zone/place/dungeon/whatever where everybody mutes the music, this is like that. Don’t know why Shadow sun seems to be the only book from
Soundbooth that nails the background theme fight scene song. Mute background music button plz.

Other then that its great, I kinda want more and even thou i hated the background song, id still recommend it, definitely going to listen to the next one, hope the dungeon says “skeleton fight club” more on the next one.

Kinda like dungeon born but for 12 years old

The book itself is fine, it's just a complete copy past of the core of dungeon born,
changed the names of thing a bit and added a new (worse) plot.
The moral of the dungeon was annoying, you're a dungeon your purpose is to kill adventurers not to cry when they die, especially considering he doesn't remember his previous life.

The fairy felt worse than useless and more like hindrance for the dungeon development for most of the book, she's a cry baby and obviously hae short attention span as well as forgetting to give important information many times in the book.
The relationship between the fairy and the dungeon seemed preety toxic to me, filled with lies manipulations and physical abuse. (getting slapped every time you say something the other party doesn't like is not OK, whether it's a male or female)

The characters were nice, I liked them and they felt pretty real with their faults and strengths, the only complaint is that they are all unique and special while background characters are basic which gave a deus ex machina effect. That effect is prevelent in the entire book.

About the narration, as always sound booth theater did an amazing job with the the narration (mostly) the only complaints are;
1) they used the wrong music at the wrong time twice in the book, both were emotional or dangerous and risky and were supposed to give you a feeling of dread, while spooky spooky skeletons played in the background. Yea, that chearfull chippy tune...
2) when the whisp, sorry, *fairy* squealed, she SQUEALED it was to a point where I couldn't listen in the car on stereo as it would make me jump and it was dangerous, nor could I play it in my room on speakers as it sounded very sexual and made me feel uncomfortable.
Both the male narrator did an amazing jub and the female as well for the most part.

Even after all that the book was fine, I can see myself recommending it.
its a fun junkfood litrpg, to crave your needs and then feel bad about yourself

Great story, Team performed perfect together

loved each aspect of the creation and running of the dungeon, I've brought the second book but want to know when the 3rd book is going to be released on audible.

the narrating team worked so well together they really brought the book to life and you could see yourself there. you don't want to stop listening but at over 70 chapters long you really need too, to take it all in in full form.

perfect job all round guys.

Story good but music and sound effects run the experience

I enjoyed the story, but I often listen to audiobooks when I'm walking my dog or before heading to bed so the music and especially the sound effects really make me feel disconnected from the story.

No offense to the person who put in the work to add them but in this case I would have preferred a version without them.
