The world ended. Bam! The Apocalypse opened the gates of Hell, demons killed everyone. Including me. But I got a second chance of life. Though it was as an apple. Which was eaten by a starving survivor, not that I fault them. But to toss my half-eaten core into a landfill?
To add insult to injury, an earthquake brought the landfill and everything in it a mile underneath the earth. I guess I'm not in uncharted waters, because good luck finding any nearby.
Not that it would matter. I am pretty sure the apple I was reincarnated as was a GMO hybrid whose potential to germinate was as stunted as the empathy of a corporation CEO. So there's that. Also, no sunlight.

Incredibly good
Reviewed at: SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS!
This is a semi mobile dungeon core novel. Portions are spent entrenched in a death trap and portions are spent wandering around.
Piloting mechs or otherwise.
There is plenty of referential humor. A surprising depth and span of information and, above all else, an addictive litrpg filled numbers going up sensation pumping pure amphetamines into your soul.
The system is loose but well defined. It manages to not feel wishy washy or unimportant.
Alll in all I definitely recommend.

Read it.

So a story of a half apple core that just wants to live. Whilst simultaneously pissing off steroid rats, a human lord, multi-headed tentacle monsters, and impossibly large jellyfish with skulls inside.
How tf do I make a review on this???
The flow of the story starts of slow (though not in a bad way). It gives you time to get used to the MC - which pays off incredibly well once the story kicks into high gear (don't worry, you will know when that is).
You'll see the struggle it got to in order to get to that point, so whilst the MC does get inhumanly strong, it is evident that it was all earned + a smidge of luck (though the MC would probably call it unluckiness).
Many, many references can be found especially in the later chapters. Doesn't matter if you are an uncultured swine like myself, there will be lots of things which you will be able to recognise.
The litrpg format is different enough that for me at least it was a relatively fresh look into that format.
Definitely give it a read if you are into comedic stories and litrpgs. I promise it will be worth it (it's basically my go-to casual read at this point)

Pure trash
Reviewed at: The Ballet of Steel and Blood
Very trashy novel filled with lots of garbage.
Would give half the stars because there is only half of an mc, but the novel makes up for it with the amount of literal garbage that gets consumed, so 5 stars it is, also pears get thrown more than I thought they would

Rotten To The Core,

I only have 50 words to describe this, Overall it's a nice dungeon building story, which becomes a city building story, which becomes a kingdom building story, you get the point. Anyway, I find the protagonist enjoyable as a mostly apathetic character, with in my opinion, a still existing, if loose set of morals. I'm still pretty pissed at not seeing a KIND OF A SPOILER BELOW:
Magical girl transformation for our Apple. I wanted to see how that worked! Research purposes only.

It's my first review/rambling so yeah

Good read , I have no qualms about the story the grammar is good ( not that I'd fully know I'm not that fluent in English mid you ,but it was a smooth read nonetheless),
The writing style is good ( in my preferences at least or perhaps not just mine , meh to each there own i suppose), the characters and the antics of our mc is funny ( or perhaps it was the writers antics I dunno).
All and all I enjoyed,love and relished the story ,and there's a lot of technical/techy things I don't know so there's all that , meh I enjoyed it nonetheless, thank you for the story, you've done good author San .
FULL MARK ALL ACROSS THE TABLE.

Love this
Reviewed at: Go Go Ranger Ork. Only you can get a-Head!
I love this so much, So many dungeon core tropes have very slow power creep or try and sneak their way to power, but this totally blows all those tropes out of the water. This story doesn't take itself very seriously, but that's what seriously makes me love this story so far.

Clicks All My Buttons
Reviewed at: The Apocalypse after the Apocalypse, the one your Four Horsemen wished your Armageddon smelled like.
The soundtrack for this thing is Powerhouse by Ramond Scott, you know, that music in the 40's cartoons whenever they need an out of control factory making killer robots.
A great, goofy concept, piles of inside jokes and references, a fun and engaging system and a protagonist that goes full-on Swiss Family Bobiverse at the bottom of a garbage dump. I imagine a tiny, wrinkled, half-eaten Matt Damon playing the lead role in the inevitable Netflix mini series.
The System is interesting and it's obvious thought went into the perks and progression. The gadgeteering is glorious. But What I really appreciate is that this story is an honest to goodness story. I care about the characters and what happens next. My only concern is that the author is apparently an actual room full of monkeys with keyboards, and I'm not ever going to get a chance to sleep ever again, am I? How the hell does one generate this much good stuff this fast? The quality is great for the velocity, there's the occaisonal odd word choice or typo, but they're hardly notceable and the author has already mentioned an edit somewhere in the future. If you're on the fence and wondering if this one is worth your time, just give it two chapters, and you'll be hooked.
Thank sweet baby Nodens Skip didn't decide to make paperclips.

A Loving Tribute to Pop Culture and Nerdness

First and foremost, let me tell you that this book is clearly written with love.
Don’t let the strange title discourage you from jumping into this amazing story.
The tale of the protagonist begins with a fast and weird introduction that gets right down to it. At the very first chapter you are presented with our usual apocalyptic events that are common in many other stories in this site. There’s a twist however.
I won’t spoil the experience here saying what happens next, but suffice to say that the weird title the author chose for this story becomes self-explanatory pretty much from the get go.
From there, the story progresses in a comfortable pace, something interesting and exciting happening at every chapter. And during the whole journey, we are showered with well-placed references and quips that will leave you laughing hard or bursting with nostalgia.
Though I am sure you are bound to miss a few memes and references here and there (as no one can know every single meme, anime, book or television show there is), the multiple tributes to pop culture ensure that there’s something for everyone in there. Maybe you will even discover some interesting things after a simple google search.
In terms of style, grammar and characters, I can only say that the story is impeccable. The author has a clear mastery of the written English and it is easy to lose yourself reading it. The sass ever present also makes it easy to get into the skin and flesh of the main character (heh).
It is a truly worthwhile experience.
Maybe the only critic I can offer is that the author sometimes describes facets of computer engineering and sciences with too much detail, leaning on it too heavily in my humble opinion. This might prove a little hard on the eyes of people with little to no background on such areas, though this might be just my personal preference speaking here. After all, some people do enjoy their details.
Altogether this a wonderful read. You won’t regret giving it a chance.

trash is someone else treasure

The title is a mouthful but it all starts with a non spherical dungeon core that doesnt follow the usual tropes, the system gives him useful abilities to build and protect trees for humanity survival, he doesnt care, instead he makes deadly traps to kill anything that breathes and level up until he feels safe enough.
And he is not a stationary dungeon since in a few chapters he is already far away from the landfill and moving himself by mashing the buttons of discount bin mech, going around a ruined city to kill demons and absorb more electronics.
Currently only a dozen chapters but very promising for fun and other contents.

This is FULL OF TRASH !!!!
