My Thoughts on A Dungeon Beneath My House Let Me Gain 800% EXP

"A Dungeon Beneath My House Let Me Gain 800% EXP" – that title alone tells you what you're getting into, doesn't it? I dove in with a healthy dose of skepticism, but also a craving for some good old-fashioned dungeon crawling. Here's what I found.

First Impressions

Initially, I found the story to be fairly average. It treads familiar ground with its characters and world-building. We've got the revenge-driven MC and the big, imposing guilds. I was hoping it would avoid some of the pitfalls of similar novels, like problematic world-stage developments, but I tried to keep an open mind.

What Works Well

Despite some initial hesitations, I did find some elements to enjoy. The core concept of a modern-day dungeon appearing in the real world is appealing. I found myself invested in seeing how the MC would navigate this new reality. Some readers liked the MC's moral compass, finding him neither a saint nor a complete monster, which is a refreshing change of pace. His pragmatism and willingness to eliminate threats permanently were also appreciated.

Areas of Concern

The translation quality is a significant issue that I couldn't ignore. Some passages felt like they had gone through a machine translator without any human editing. This made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story and follow the plot. The writing itself could be repetitive, with concepts being explained multiple times in a short span. While the story is complete, the last 50 chapters can be a little boring compared to the rest of the novel.

Final Verdict

"A Dungeon Beneath My House Let Me Gain 800% EXP" is a mixed bag. If you're a die-hard fan of the dungeon subgenre and can overlook the translation issues and some uninspired writing, you might find it entertaining enough. However, if you're looking for originality and polished prose, this might not be the novel for you. Ultimately, it's a decent time-killer if you're out of other options, but don't expect a masterpiece.
