An interesting and enjoyable spin on a genre that I am fairly new to. All of the bits and pieces I've seen from fantasy progression and dungeon core fiction well applied to a sci-fi space navy setting. I was uncertain whether I would like this but spent half a day chewing through the chapters available and am eagerly awaiting future chapters.

I can't currently point out any major weak points other than its similarity to other dungeon core fiction. If your just done and over with reading that genre, I suspect this story won't rank high on your reading list. As evidenced by my earlier words, that is not an issue for me.

I always enjoy a good sci-fi novel, especially with dungeon core concepts. However, I have noticed that this story revolves around crisis and surviving. Normally that would be okay, but the MC always survives in the same boring way. Here how it goes, the MC goes somewhere and often times due to a careless mistake, he is suddenly under attack. Not time pressure, internal conflict, assassination, or some else. It’s always a frontal attack. Then, it initially seems the the MC is losing, but due to his dungeon core abilities, he is able to slowly whittle down the enemy until he wins. Not an instant kill, or running away, or a smart strategy, but WW1 fighting. Then the MC repairs, gets marginal upgrades, and the cycle repeats.

I still think the concept is good, but make the plot points more interesting and not the same format. 3.5/5

This is a nice rewrite for Delerict. I loved that one. I hope it doesnt end so adbructly like the last one. I know there were mayor forces that made you do that. But hey! This one is going really nice as far as I Have read. 

A dungeon core in space. Need a bit of clean up for errors in text but the story so far isnt boring at all. Keep going Dean! :3

The choices for this story are really weird.
While the writing is fine, a lot of the things are already either not making much sense are weird or would be much better reworked.
For the start, there is no reason to add a system. It could just be written without one and it would read a LOT better AND make more sense.
Otherwise, so many things are weird design choices. The Ship Core cant access the files in its own fabricators, cant see through its own robotic drones eyes, doesnt appear to have access to ANYTHING that is part of its own body, yet can magically see around itself, with no explanation.
It can feel pain with metal plating, which really doesnt make sense without any sensors.
It cant access any parts of the ship that is its own body, cant even find a blueprint on how the ship should look like.
The fabricator is horrifingly shit, with it needing 5 times the resources to remake something, yet being able to at the same time make complex biological life from two samples.
Resources can be magically used by fabricators or drones in the ship without any need to transport it. Why even add that to the system?
Levels. In a space opera. Without magic. Why would a fucking mechanical drone have a level?
Overall many weird design choices that dont make sense.

I originaly gave 5 stars, because I like Science Fiction and the story is well writen.  My problem is that it became a fantasy/prosgression e/dungeon story.  What hell, increasing power and efficiecy by killing hobbits and other fantasy characters.  Then somekind of inyerdimensional monster that can somehpw live in space.

I’ve been searching for a story like this.  Litrpg/sci fi about building out a ship.  This is scratching an itch for me and it’s so satisfying.  The pros are good and the story is trending in the right direction.  No major grammatical issues.  Just good old fashion family fun.  There are plenty of dungeon core type tropes all being fashioned into a naval style build it back up type story arc.  Can’t wait to see where it goes, hopefully to an OP beast that starts altering the course of the universe.

Those that like a space dungeon core story will like this one.  It is very similar to the other ones out there.  I would say there isn't really a gold standard in this space to compare them too.  But it is good.  I wonder where it is going because it gets bogged down with a lot of management stuff early on.

My only complaint would be that it would be nice if the story took a main thing and ran with it because it doesn't really seem to be much of a goal other than getting things working.  Lots of chapters in and it feels like I'm still waiting for the story to start.

This wasn't what I was expecting from the synopsis - instead of a sci-fi story of an automated ship, we're instead thrust into a very generic dungeon core experience, down to have minions (given the acronym of MOBS). The main character might eventually, some point in the future actually BE a ship, but by the time I stopped reading it had taken him eight chapters to take control of two rooms of the hulk now housing his core, and the most serious threat encountered are rat/cockroach hybrids.

Loving this so far. I can't wait to see where it goes. Possilby from the smaller ship to a much larger battlecruiser? Even giving himself an avatar to take part in boarding actions ( if he's able to upgrade to receive the ability). Thank you for the time and effort you've put in.

I am thoroughly enjoying this novel.  I originally started reading it as filler while I waited for chapters to post from other books.  However, it rapidly moved up the list to be one of my top ongoing novels.  I am riding the ups and downs of, Oh a new chapter, and then aww no more new chapters.

The style put me off a little in the beginning but I believe it was due to the main character waking up as a ship, being confused, and having to learn like a newborn.

The story is great, I thought I might not like it since the main character is a ship, rather than a person with a biological body.  However, as I continue to read it has turned out to be fine.

I am looking forward to further character development and the dynamic between the main character and the AI on board the ship.
