Publisher's Summary

Build a dungeon. Slay heroes. Survive finals.

Wounded Army vet Logan Murray thought mimics were the stuff of board games and dungeon manuals...right up until one ate him.

In a flash of snapping teeth, Logan suddenly finds himself on the doorstep to another world. He’s been unwittingly recruited into the Shadowcroft Academy for Dungeons - the most prestigious interdimensional school dedicated to training the monstrous guardians who protect the Tree of Souls from so-called heroes. Heroes who would destroy the universe if it meant a shot at advancement.

Unfortunately, as a bottom-tier cultivator with a laughably weak core, Logan’s dungeon options aren’t exactly stellar, and he finds himself reincarnated as a lowly fungaloid, a three-foot-tall mass of spongy mushroom with fewer skills than a typical sewer rat. If he’s going to survive the grueling challenges the academy has in store, he’ll need to ace the odd assortment of classes - Fiendish Fabrication, Dungeon Feng Shui, the Ethics of Murder 101 - and learn how to turn his unusual guardian form into an asset instead of a liability.

And that’s only if the gargoyle professor doesn’t demote him to a doomed wandering monster first....

From James A. Hunter - best-selling author of Rogue Dungeon, Bibliomancer (Completionist Chronicles Expanded Universe), and the LitRPG epic Viridian Gate Online - and Dragon Award-finalist Aaron Michael Ritchey comes a brand-new Dungeon Core novel, like nothing you've ever heard before. Funny, funky, and full of Gamelit goodness, this is one novel you won't want to put down.

Fantastic!

Not your typical anything! Very fresh. Fun and unique. It's best aspect is it's character dynamics. Friendship and comrodery. Underdog story. Small scale dungeon building. MC is a great leader. Perfectly family friendly!

Harry Potter, dungeon core and monster evolution

Some good stuff. Character classes and monster types were interesting. Character were good. One thing that kinda pulled me out of emersion was how bad at teaching the school seemed to be. No real help to show mc and co how to cultivate or do anything. More of a testing facility then a school. Otherwise good. I’m gonna get the next one

far from a good cup of tea

stopped soon and early... could not really take the ho-rah pseudo love letter to enlisted service and jingoism.perhaps later in the book things are dialed back a bit, someone else will need to find out
