Dungeon Diving 101

I'm really enjoying not only this series, but the author's writing style. He's done a great job developing characters as people and not just fuckbunnies. The protagonist doesnt simply jump into bed with each women interested in him, but builds relationships and progresses slowly with all but one, and even that character is well developed as to how and why that occurs, in a completely realistic and non-cliche manner.I particularly liked how the author created a fantasy-esque setting in a modern world, and for the most part does a good job explaining how the two things coexist. However, I would like to understand more how and why firearms and more lethal, modern tech and weapons havent made the dungeon, and/or why governments dont/didnt just post up around the entrances with tanks, etc. and control more of the trade and taxation around dungeon loot. While he has touched on it a little bit, it would be nice to get a better understanding of it in this world, and if/why maybe some of those weapons didnt get as developed and/or some of the wars that inspired them didnt happen because of the dungeon's appearance ~100ish years ago. Maybe Crimson will be forced to give a world history affected by the dungeon lesson at some point (or Marlow will have to give it because Crimson refuses). A little more world building here please!Moat enjoyable about the author's style is that he builds characters and their interactions in a very realistic manner. The banter and conflicts are really common among normal people that I've known and watched, and the thoughts and concerns of the characters are varied to the personalities, and make sense. Very well done.Lastly, the author builds anticipation in a careful way, whether about the story, the combat, or the sex. I've not been sure about the direction or outcomes of most of the conflicts, and could easily see this as taking a different path. He also builds the sensuality of the relationships through teasing (both physical and verbal) in a way that teens and young adults do and doesnt just jump right to sex. It's all very well developed and makes the story and characters much better and more believable.

What a good story. The world building is damn good, the characters are fully fleshed out. The erotic scenes, while few, are explicit. I can't wait to read the next novel.

The book overall was fine. I like the world building, and have always enjoyed a game matrix storyline. This book just lacked any real thrills or suspense. It was a simple read, with all the regular tropes, that overall felt rather flat and uninteresting. I think it's a simple airport read it was fine. I guess I felt like the author had the start of something that could have been an interesting story with the characters, and it just became high School level writing and the same old storyline... It doesn't make it bad, it just makes it an average read for me. I also don't really have any desire to find out what happens in the next book because it all felt so familiar.

This was an interesting read. The main character was believable and at the same e time a bit naive. I like the world building and other small touches that had made this a great story.

This story is very well written and fun to read. Saying that a reader needs to be aware that its very sexual and really goes deeply about every encounter. It might not be for everyone.

Dungeon Diving 101 is a great start to a great new series. It’s got all the classic Bruce Sentar goodness. Just heads up, it is litrpg so if thats burnt you out then maybe pick another book.

Very cool story lines characters and plots

I'm surprised I didn't see a review mentioning it before but the grandfather is Jaraya and Naruto combined into one. The name even. Uzumaki nagato, Naruto Uzumaki. And the quip at the start about the class having to land a hit on the instructor while they barely pay attention, which is how Naruto opens. Just funny to me, good story. Though his whole I have to get to know you before sleeping with you thing is meh, learn what a hookup is.

This did not feel like a typical Bruce sentar novel but that’s kind of a good thing here with a change in style and scenery and a different pace compared to past novels. This was also a nice refreshing take on litrpg. Typically litrpg’s get so focused on stats levels and skills the characters fall flat and the world feels dreary and one note. This world feels interesting. Modern world and modern technology but mixed with dungeons. Typically I hate dungeon focused novels because the concept bores me endlessly. The dungeon itself in this book was still the least riveting part because I personally don’t find the concept interesting. But I can surely admire when the dungeons role and layout is well written. And writing the dungeon into the fabric of the world by using it as something more substantial than just a typical dungeon was well written compared to the majority of them out there.Also I must note that I audibly laughed out loud reading “uzumaki nagato”The shameless reference was absolutely welcome and having uzumaki as the last name for our protagonist in this story made myself as a fan of the anime happy.Final note the litrpg mechanics are not obtrusive and in your face, but are subtle and assume a readers ability to remember which is nice. All in all a very well done start to a series. My only gripe is that I was hoping ken would get higher than level 3 considering our first comparison to peak strength is 57. The slowness of his progression makes me wonder how it will unfold.

Really enjoyed this one, great pacing, good story and some nice world building to set up the characters and some nice plot lines to develop.The MC is fun and his harem interesting mix of personalities I recommend you download and give this a try try, enjoy 😁

Super Buch 1A

I have throughly enjoyed the first book in the series and I will be definitely buying the rest of the series. Thanks Bruce keep up the good work. 👍

Easy to read an enjoyable. Curious to see where this goes with stats, classes, abilities and romance. . Really like how the dungeon encounters are laid out. As someone that likes to geek out a bit on fantasy based formats and board games, I really like the way stats and skills are incorporated as the character builder side of me wonders what comes next. A lot more substance to the book than some other authors I've read, where their 'story' is just there to fill between the more adult moments. Hope to see more of this series very soon!
