De: Jeffrey Falcon Logue, Jonathan Brooks

Bio Dungeon Complete Series – Blurb

Contains all three books in The Body’s Dungeon series:

Bio Dungeon: Symbiote

Bio Dungeon: Parasyte

Bio Dungeon: Hemostasis

In the icy north exists a young orphan, and a war on a microscopic scale.

Marstin Hardgrove was orphaned at a young age, forced to live on the streets, and needed to turn to thievery to survive. When a job goes wrong and the young man was caught, he was forced to eat a handful of dirt and rocks before being abandoned to die; unbeknownst to Marstin, he also ended up swallowing a tiny dungeon crystal.

Thrown into a highly unusual world filled with cells, bacteria, and other dangerous pathogens, the tiny dungeon crystal was, at first, confused by his surroundings. After seeing how the different complex systems of the body worked together, the crystal was quickly fascinated; it wasn’t long before he decided that, instead of trying to escape, he wanted the body for himself. He desired to possess the living being for his own use, wholly unlike anything the world had ever seen before.

To get to that point, however, the fledgling dungeon crystal has to learn how to survive against the different enemies trying to destroy him. In short: He has to turn the body into a dungeon.

But will his new Bio Dungeon be enough to keep the crystal–and the body he wants to possess–alive?

Contains LitRPG/GameLit elements, such as character progression, statistics, and resource management. Also contains an in-depth, science-based portrayal of how the immune system responds to foreign pathogens via different white blood cells and other microscopic protectors, complete with a glossary of medical terms (factual and fictional). No harems, sexual content, or foul language.

good narrator

it was a good book and the narrator did a good job voicing characters and the author of explaining what was going on. but terminology I didn't hear and got confused later cause of the names, but that's ok very good book

Gets better as it goes along

Overall gets better as it goes along, exciting action but occasionally with technical anatomy lessons that help you sleep if needed.

Another great Omnibus!

Dungeon in a body was such an intetesting concept. Great job and a good read!

Pretty good

As expected from both the well known author and the narrator, they give a good showing. Ignore the political review dude.. clearly an idiot. Agreed with the tech term bog down stated in another review but I'm not sure what he could do. Gotta lay that foundation.. this one just happens to be unrelatable without terminology.

Overall a decent adventure.

Haven’t finished just wanted to remark on the intro to book 2

This book taught me what trickle down economics means

Holy S*** I’ve never listened to a villain so detestable

overall very inconsistent

The reader had some really good voices but main character was in a permanent state of making loud declarations, the core and Oswald are good voices for example but some characters sound like they're constantly shouting even when supposedly muttering. The story had some very weird sticking points but overall was pretty good.

great story

only reason I didn't do 5 stars was the medical terms would occasionally overwhelm the action.

The good,the bad, the ugly

Writing this as I've listened to the start of book two;

The good; The set-up and personality of the dungeon is great, believable, and lots of fun and dry humor. I like the 'external' and 'internal' stories affecting eachother indirectly.

The bad; Unless your a biologist, the technobable can go on for quite awhile. The two storylines occasionally clash or are put off when I really want to get on with the other. I hope the progen and his host actually communicate eventually.

The ugly; The story relies heavily on tropes and stereotypes, and characters who are evil just for the love of evil to advance the plot. And the host MC is just has a lot of luck, both bad and good as needed for plot.

Edit after I got to end of third book; Heheh, ok lots of plot hooks here for sequels. And Progen never actually talks to his host, barly even uses conditioning on said host. Also that effing curse starts pulling "This is not my final form!" 3 or 4 times! Great story, if you don't get too hung up on the biology and magic pedsu mechanics. Also a lot of tropes that less well read people may not recognize.

good listen

bio dungeon reminds me of what would happen if a litrpg author got creative during medical school. It can drag at times, (sometimes you just want to focus on Marston or Pro-jem and their turn does not happen for a bit) however I found the trilogy worth listening to, and the definition of things explained at the end interesting to those who are curious.

Well researched but falls short

Bio Dungeon has an amazing premise but throughout the story it felt like multiple plot threads were forgotten about. Because of the focus on the plot for the human host, it felt like the dungeon core was fighting a never ending battle and then never got what he wanted in the end, or even ever spoke to Marstin. Also despite being a dungeon core inside a living organism and having basically total biokinesis, there is no transhumanism or real enhancement for Marstin. :(
