Regan Earle was a robotics scientist that inadvertently caused the robot takeover of the world. When his last creation completes a decade-long plan to end his own life, he ends up surprised. Creation offers him a second chance to test his wits and cunning in another world. Fate, however, is fickle and Regan ends up as a Dungeon Core...with all his memories. Is the world of Murgin ready to face such a dungeon? Let's find out....

Earth 2150. Nearly 20 years since the robot uprising, where all AIs designed by inventor Dr. Regan Earle went rogue and started to take over the world. Or at least, that's what everyone thought until a year later Earle himself sent out a message. A message that stated his creations would shut down if he were killed. He even went so far as to place a beacon on top of his building that broadcasted his location. The humans fought against the machines for decades in a futile attempt to destroy the tower. Until one day....

I liked everything about this story the robots trapping their creator and his sacrifice in the beginning of the story. I only disliked how short the story was. I only wish that it could have been longer. I already downloaded the next two stories in the series.

nice twist with robots

The books MC was a genius who created robots and essentially life. Then becomes a dungeon core. There are weird spurts of sudden genius and growth that don’t have logical backing at points. Idk if you don’t mind “dungeon fuckery” you’ll enjoy this story while it’s free.

Cool idea, but weird parts to it.

week opening, turned into great relationship building and some fun interplay between charchters.
lots of long term goals are flushed out with some potincial for political drama being added in.

but the entire book falls down in the final two chapters, as multiple times for the sake of bad plot drivers the Intilligence, abilities, and power of charachters that the book has been building up, just ignores and bypasses thier presence in a wholly unbelievable series of events.

poor use of the setup, total ignorance in scope for the reader of the army buildup idea as they are never utilized, and finally the somehow omnipresence ability of an enemy to compltly bypass all of the very specifically created efforts to thwart this very thing from occurring is maddening heavy handed and ultimately just burns the previous four chapters worth of build up for a poorly written moment of self realization by the main protagonist.

ugg.

great till last two chapters
