Dungeon Robotics #4
Cascade
The horde dealt with Regan turns his attention to the north. As he works to increase his children's and his power, events in the world seem to be against him. Powers continues to grow all around the continent in response to this new player emerging on the map.
Louella only wants a few moments of peace to process the changes happening to her and her valley. No one wants to give her that peace as her valley grows to be the center of the continent. Adventurers from both Lecazar and Thonaca rush to Robia Valley as the rumors of gold, power, and adventure only grow stronger.

Magic robotics, airships, orbital facilities, dungeon cores, and global thermonecromantic war.
This is what happens when a LitRPG title diverges from its leveling roots and just goes nuts with Big War.
Granted, I wish there were more character development and even some (at least minor) conflict on the personal stages with the main characters (or dungeon, who can't seem to do any wrong), but for the most part, it's still a light title that manages to be fun.
Is it just me, or are all the repeating sections, slightly modified by PoV, a bit annoying?
Never mind. Overall, the book kinda reads like a carbon copy of one or two others in the same genre, with slight fundamental differences in focus. Since I liked those, originally, I am okay with it here, but I'm marking it down in my head for being rather unoriginal.

So the MC/Dungeon, Regan, is stepping up his attacks on the northern kingdom governed by necromancers. Regan has a fleet of airships crewed by automatons and goblins. Regan also has a space station and orbital weapons capable of incinerating the north, or so he believes until some the northern defensive magic proves incredibly strong. Regan, however, is really holding back orbital strikes because of the innocents still in hiding in the north. Regan's surveillance of the north finds a large fleet of air ships crewed by gnomes. Regan, being sensitive to betrayal from his former life, is incensed and immediately teleports Princess Izora to his space station to explain. Izora had just found out that a massive betrayal had taken place where half the gnome air fleet defected to the necromancers and killed Izora's mother while doing so. This news placates Regan and the view from the space station convinces Izora Regan is either a god or will soon be one. As a result Izora begins to revere Regan essentially deifying him and giving him access to divine mana.
While Regan is preoccupied in the north Louella and Princess Izora begin dungeon diving in earnest. This leads to several near deaths. In one case two gnome guards who were dead by this world's standards were saved by Regan, in part due to his holy mana and in part due to his medical knowledge from his past life on a technologically advanced world. These healings cement the gnomes worship of him.
Meanwhile, in the north, the nature dungeon Regan is working towards (so as to free it from necromancers) is surrounded by dryads corrupted by the necromancers. In this world dryads are "A + lord-class" monsters meaning dryads can control their immediate environment in much the way dungeons do and Regan is forced to use his space based weapons on both of the dryads he confronts in this book. Anubis, however, is able to reincarnate the dying dryads, absent their memories of being corrupted and virtually impervious to necromancer unholy mana.
Previously a visiting Marquis got Ezal (then Louella's body guard, now captain of the city guard) pregnant. In book 3 the Marquis was killed by necromancers after having sworn his most trusted guard, Bruce, to protect Ezal and his unborn child no matter what. Also in book 3 the Marquis' father, Duke Valaravans, asks King Thonaca to send his investigators to find Bruce. While not state directly, it appears Duke Valaravans is under the control of the necromancers and is attempting to direct the investigation on to Bruce to prevent discovery of necromancer involvement. ALL OF WHICH MATTERS because the investigators arrive in the dungeon town in this book looking for Bruce. Bruce is now a part of Louella's retinue. One of the investigators, Quin, is an ancient blood monster who takes it upon herself to attack Louella causing Quin to be captured by Regan. Quin escapes but it is clear Quin now is determined to kill Regan regardless of what the king wants.
Bottom line: Easily worth the read, I mean A DUNGEON WITH A SPACE STATION???? Why wouldn't read that?

One of the wonders (from a consumer point of view) of KU is the ability to sample many different books by authors you've never heard of. The bald truth is that many of these books I never would have paid for, as paying for a book means it was a) very good in my opinion, and b) there is a high chance that I will read it again.
So what happens when part of a series is on KU then it switches to "pay"? That depends, and many series I have dropped even on KU, as it just wasn't worth it to me to continue. In this case, while book 4 is a bit short, the story has engaged me sufficiently and the writing is high quality, so I have crossed the paywall.
With this and many other series, I would like to see omnibus collections and buy them all at once, but I'll settle for the last (?) 3 books in the series as permanent copies, at least as long as they continue to provide quality entertainment for my not-unlimited monthly book budget.

Enjoyed the book, got a nasty surprise at the end.
Open enjoying the series a whole bunch. I have been binge reading it for the last week or so. I found it on Amazon kindle unlimited and check the 1st book or 2 to make sure they were on unlimited as well.
After finishing book for I went to go download book 5 and found that is not available on unlimited, and the only option is to purchase it.

Robots VS. Necromancers And Their Undead
The fourth novel of the Dungeon Robotics Series marks a turning point in the war. The unliving forces of the Automata Dungeon make advances against the undead forces of the Necromancer Council. Meanwhile the Automata Dungeon's living allies continue to grow their own power whilst also combating their personal demons and more mundane foes.
This novel, and the series of which it is a part, will likely appeal to fans of the Fantasy, Dungeon Core, and LitRPG genres, as well as those who enjoy playing RPGs.

Awesome!
Even better than the others if you can believe it. The plot thickens, plenty of action, dungeon/world building, rise in power, new information about the universe, the gods and other, further development of the main and secondary characters, the book has it all. Totally worth it.

Hmmm
It’s a fun read as Reagan continues to expand his empire. There were some plot developments and it was entertaining, however the time rewinds during character transitions are still a stumbling point and no truly significant plot progress happened. In effect this book is staging ground for the next. Still enjoyable so please enjoy it.

Good but a little unfocused
I'm enjoying reading this series but one of the big problems I have it's that the story moves along in a way that seems to have no big picture in mind. Just a string of directly related events that aren't really improved by the usage of multiple narrative points-of-view

Boring story line, unnecessary multiple points of view, overpowered cultivation.. and all of it very dry. Creature evolutions all over the place, battles and combat.. I can see the type of anime this is based on, and it can get away with it because it's a visual medium. It simply can't work here. And so dry!

Getting muddled.
While I enjoy the series and like the direction, the last two books seem rushed and the amount of characters seems like it is getting out of hand. I think the author needs to sit down and refocus and this series will shoot right back up to five stars.

Great book! I’m looking forward to the next one!
I like how the author is keeping this series fresh with new stuff all the time. The MC is a bit op, but it’s still something that isn’t an instant win.

Great continuation of the story
The MCs continue to gain power and grow in interesting ways. The plot expands and war begins, along with some great technology that keeps the story fresh. Intrigue and backstories also hint at future plotlines. Very enjoyable read.

Still interesting at least
It has again the standard power increases. I'm still not sure what the rules are for advancing to tier 3. Still interesting and I'm still enjoying reading it.

Lost the bubble on what made the first 3 much better. The inquisitive nature of every interaction is gone, OP MC just inherently knows everything and its only a matter of time to exercise control over all of existence.

Good
A good entry into the book series, I am looking forward to seeing what happens in the next book released.

Satisfying as always
Having no bulletproof way to track releases I overlooked this book. A book from one of my favorite authors no less. This was an excellent continuation of one my favorite dungeon cores, and the new "heights" he took in this book was so much fun. Look forward to the next.

Brilliant
Things are getting heated. MCs are getting more powerful but so are the enemies. It's difficult to tell right from wrong! I need more!

Good Story
I really enjoyed reading this action packed entertaining fast paced story of a engineer reincarnated into a dungeon core. I can’t wait for this Author to get a editor.

Praise Lord Regan. Blesses be the gears of the dungeon. May the molten Mithril's flow never cease.
May his core never rust! May he forever shine and glow in splendid glory.

skim
Skimming is necessary for the book. The story is decent, the execution horrid. If it were food, it would be gas station food.

Previews
The books are good, not too many plot holes. But why are there previews at the end of each book? I don't need previews. I am just gonna go get the next book!?
