Dungeon core is a subgenre of fantasy, sci-fi, Gamelit/Litrpg that is based
around the main character or secondary protagonist taking the physical form of
a ‘dungeon’. The modern day use of dungeon refers back both to legends of
monsters and treasure to be found in the dark places of the world, such as the
labyrinth of Crete in Greek mythology, and to the more modern video game
definition of places where monsters are to be hunted to reach a final goal at
the end.

Death came on swift wings. A soul, blessed by a goddess, falls to the land and enters his new life. He clings to a single memory, the defining moment of his previous life. Now, he learns how to succeed in his new life, as a new dungeon heart. To become the best dungeon he can be, he partners with the one existence all dungeons need: his bonded Dungeon Pixie.
Slime: EVO
Falcon Stories is developing a unique take on the Metroidvania Platformer genre with the slime monsters found in the published books. Focusing on an emotional, wordless narrative with moral choices, a lone slime must avenge its race by devouring its enemies and evolving new ways to get around the world and defeat enemies. Four monster lords stand in your way to revenge, but your choices will decide what comes after.

“Falcon” Logue is an author, video game designer, and connoisseur of the
imagination. He is a graduate of Clemson University. There, while pursuing an
education, he came across the budding site of Royal Road Legends, a place where
writers and readers gathered. It was there he found the first example of
Dungeon Core, except the stories were never finished as they became too boring
to write or ended before the story really began.
Reader reviews
Overall, I enjoyed this book. I came for the dungeon building, and that was delivered nicely. My only complaint is that the characters are a bit boring. They feel a bit cliché so I can't say I ever felt particularly surprised. Ultimately, I stayed for the dungeon building, not the plot. That said, well, I came for the building, so 4 starts it is. I'll definitely continue to read the series and would recommend anybody looking for a dungeon/monster builder to give this a shot!
4 out of 5 stars

Review as follows: It's Good you should read this, if you find and take the time to read reviews you're probably considering reading it, in that case STOP and just READ THE BOOK!!!!! However if that is not the reason your reading this review then STOP and just READ THIS BOOK!5 out of 5 stars
If you are a pen and paper RPG gamer or computer RPG player this book, along with Dungeon Town (Slime Dungeon 2) and a very similar book, Dungeon Born The Divine Dungeon are well worth your time and money. They are all something completely different, though the similarities between The Slime Dungeon and The Divine Dungeon are equally interesting. Despite their common elements (buy both to see what I'm talking about), they are both heading in differing directions. All three books are recommended by me.
