Tesni Anderson's biggest problem used to be microwaved fish in the office break room. Then she choked on ramen noodles and woke up as a dungeon core.

The system expects her to create a murder maze filled with traps and monsters. Instead, Tesni has three months to build something unprecedented: a dungeon that doesn't kill people. With the help of her gruff Scottish advisor Threk (who thinks she's completely mad) and a growing family of goblins who just want to belong somewhere, she's determined to create the world's first dungeon inn.

Between essence management that works like a mobile game, aggressive rock-hens that can't judge distances, and the moral compromise of designing "safe" dangerous areas, Tesni discovers that building something nurturing in a world designed for conflict is harder than any office job she's ever had.

But when the first adventurers finally arrive, will her revolutionary hospitality model work—or will she lose everything she's built?

A cozy slice-of-life fantasy about found family, ethical business practices, and proving that sometimes the best way to win is to change the game entirely.

It’s a low steak read with fun goblins. It’s resource management game kind of vibe. If you like that type of story ,also the dungoen having the “ No attacking the staff and if they are attacked they are allowed to refuse service” is great!! Love that easier egg.- also i love how reliable the manger is !! Go Threk and one of my favorite scenes is The Rock hen fighting Hay . It was so cute!! I do hope there are more books down the line. I can’t wait to see where this story goes.

awesome

i liked the story it was fun and a good idea. reader was pro
but there was lots of saying things meny times.

example:
boss: tell them (this)
helper 1: boss said (this)
helper 2: boss told you to say (this)
helper 1: yes boss told me to say (this)

good story but...

ok story but the goblin constantly repeating what the core just said instead of just saying he relayed the message gets old fast. feels like he's just trying to hit a word quota. fine otherwise

repetitive
