Publisher's Summary

Sandra had been a merchant traveling through the human lands of Muriel, though that wouldn’t have been her chosen profession. 

What she would’ve loved to become was a crafter, producing wondrous creations with her own two hands; however, she didn’t want to become a master in just one craft - she was interested in them all. 

Unfortunately, Sandra was born with a deformity in her hands that made them appear frozen in a claw-like pose; as a result, she couldn’t grip anything with any sort of strength or dexterity, meaning that she wasn’t able craft anything but the most simple of things that required very little in the way of hand-based manipulation. To top it off, while most people could access and manipulate at least one or two of the basic elemental energies, she could see them all - but was unable to manipulate a single one. 

Despite these setbacks, Sandra spent the majority of her 26 years of life visually learning the processes, techniques, and secret formulas for every aspect of crafting she could discover. And it was that pursuit of knowledge that ultimately led to her untimely death. 

Reborn in the shape of a tiny Dungeon Core, Sandra learned about the purpose behind dungeons and Cores from an assigned dungeon helper; at the same time, she also discovered that she had much more freedom than most other Dungeon Cores. 

The repercussions of her mere existence could end up being far-reaching, but the most important thing she learned had nothing to do with the other Cores, the different races, or even the real purpose behind her being brought back to life as a strange glowing gem. Sandra didn’t care about any of that, though - all she cared about was that she could finally do some crafting.

This Dungeon Core story contains LitRPG/GameLit elements such as statistics and leveling and a heavy crafting emphasis. No profanity and no harems.

Its pretty good listen, and avoides Mary Sue!

The story is pretty solid. It really stretches out the "early levels" and keeps things interesting while avoiding going straight to the end game which is a nice change as i really like stories that go through the trenches without feeling to bogged down. It keeped me interested and was engaging the entire way through. Only downside would have to be when the narator would read out tables of information and it would go for about 2 minutes or more, I could understand it would look good in a text format, as audio its less great.

great new series from this author

the story is fantastic, and while I think that having a female narrator was definitely the right choice for this, I don't think she nailed the tones required for a lot of the dialogue. otherwise the world building and setup was great, and looking forward to seeing where this series goes

feels like a idle mobile game

I first thank the author for writing the book.

as a big fan of fantasy, manga, games and the kind, i would say this book was just about what you might expect.
not the book of the century, but good for time killing.
If you like these kind of stories and just can’t get enough of them, pick up this book and you won’t be disappointed.
And also if you are about twelve years old.
However, if you want a good book in general, there are much better ones.
The story is mostly predictable, not much depth in character, some logical flaws, and plenty of deux ex machina.
The worst part of the book is audible reading you the menu list. It goes on forever and I had to tap 10 seconds forward like 20 times.

In the end would I purchase book 2?
Yes I would, but after I ran out of better books and need something to listen mindlessly while I drive.

I really tried

I really tried to like this but the narration was so terrible it was like having old curdled milk poured into my ears. This story itself is good enough but honestly I recommend sticking to the written book with this one.
