Publisher's Summary

The City is an immense metropolis of crystal spires and wondrous magic. Beneath is the Dungeon, a vast underground world, and a source of endless treasure guarded by grotesque and deadly monsters. No one knows where the Dungeon came from, or why.

Any who would dare face the dangers and riches of the Dungeon must first be transformed into a delver, a quasi-immortal creature whose every attribute is defined by numbers. Yet, the "immortality" offered is but illusory, for without consuming the crystal found only within the Dungeon, a delver will inevitably die.

One young immigrant braves the Dungeon to remit money to his family, only to find much, much more. Friends, power, and secrets of the Dungeon.

Perhaps even love.

Unusual storytelling style.

The novel sometimes switches from 1st to 3rd person perspectives depending on what events the mc is recapping for the letter, the style dosnt really payoff in a way that is satisfying and the way wealth is earned and used is really flawed and abstracted from reality. The way the story is structured is sort of like the realm stuff from Asian novels. With the barebones discriptions of event and level and stat progression of the group we are following detract the reader from the emotional and logical stakes of the characters decision making.

Its the difference between being the passenger and the driver.

I'm sure there are some people who will see my faults with the novel as a positive and dont particularly hate the novel so im going to leave a solid 4 star review.
