How to Build a Dungeon: Book of the Demon King Vol. 1

First day i got it, i read it four times, thats how good it is in my opinion, one of the best manga around, great art and a good and understanable story

An enjoyable manga to read if you're into fantasy or dungeon books. Good series to consider reading if you can afford to purchase

Gets lost in fan service sometimes, but the art is exceptional, going from the extremely detailed to the goofy comic. The main character isn't a nice guy, he doesn't do nice things... then again he's building a dungeon, what did you expect?

So entertaining at some parts u may even get boner luk cuz ilu get into it so easily even tho its my 1st manga reading ever rly enjoyed.

more than I was expecting mind blowing

This manga came in perfect condition. The reason i gave three stars is the lack in the story and the way it was handled. This could of been better maybe we could give it a chance in the next volumes

Make no mistake - this is a hentai title, though a horribly censored one! There is next to no plot and its pretty much just debauchery from cover to cover. The story is about a powerful sorcerer who learns the secret of immortality and uses his new found powers to build a dungeon in order to satisfy his carnal desires. It's much like an adult movie with the story used as filler just to set up the next encounter, and just like in such movies it is predictable in the way that as soon as a new female is introduced you know she'll be defiled three pages on. The big problem is that all of this otherwise explicit content is censored to death, seriously there are frames that are almost entirely obscured by a blur/light-ray/scribble and it just ruins the book completely, it just looks like its been intentionally defaced. Sadly those filler bits of story do more to harm to the the book rather than save it, and it often feels like a commentary on an RPG game. I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I read phrases such as "I need to increase my mana capacity by 500 to expand the next room" and "your are only a level 1 demon, you can not hope to defeat a level 10 warrior without an upgrade spell". If I've learn't one thing reading manga (and watching anime) is that you shouldn't judge a series by it's first volume (or episode) however in this case I really can't find anything good in this at all and I have no intention of buying the next volume nor can I recommend this to anyone.

It was ok and had a surprisingly interesting plot, what there was of it

até agora ta bem legal, historia + - criativa mas ainda com seus diferenciais, gostando até então, vou pegar o proximo volume logo

A story only pretext for a sequence of sexual scenes. Drawings not even beautiful. Ecchi can be funny sometimes but this is closer to stupid porn... Very, very bad.... To avoid!

Where is the line drawn where evil begins and good ends? That's a question you'll be asking yourself as you read this manga. Our main protagonist is a man whose past, as far as we have been told, is full of betrayal by his fellow humans. His name is Aur, and he has a mission. That mission? To create a dungeon filled with treasure, beautiful women, and dangerous monsters. A task normally impossible, made very easy for Aur who located what is known as a 'Dragon Vein'. This is a place where mana flows like an underground river, and upon locating one he drank from it and instantly became younger and stronger. He then almost immediately summons a beautiful succubus named Lilu, who he forms a contract and has sex with on the spot. That's right, this is a manga series full of semi-explicit sex. Aur is a man who enjoys the sight and company of women, accruing many that he keeps close by and constantly partaking in the bodily pleasures they offer. But this isn't all just sex for the sake of sex, he uses sex as a means of breaking women he wants. Which leads to original question of good vs evil. You see Aur is not a man you wish to cross, as he has no patience for those who disobey him. In this first volume he massacres an entire village after their chief attempts to fight him, yet in another village he provides medicine and farming advice as well as protection against bandits. I would describe Aur as true neutral, but with a penchant for non-human and fallen human women. He's not above mind breaking a strong female adventurer, yet he won't stoop as low as to abuse a little girl offered to him as a sacrifice. Aur is an interesting man that's hard to get a read on, and it makes this series all that more worth it to read. This first volume is a good bit of character introduction and building, but it still has action. However volume two is where things will really kick off, as we end on a meeting where Aur is preparing to assault his first city. He let's us know this will not be as simple as conquering a village where the chief is the only one he needs to convince, but with a troop of dark elves, a hulking hulti-armed demon, an apprentice sorceress, a fallen heroine, and his loyal succubus Aur feels he is prepared to do it. As far as translation goes, it's pretty much on par with the original Japanese dialogue. There are a few instances where I noticed some embellishing, but these instances are few and far between and do not detract from the main story. Wesley Bridges finally lends a good English name to the list of translators that Seven Seas contracts out to, and I look forward to reading more of this series.

Schöner Manga. Habe die Geschichte vorher nicht gekannt, aber er hat mir super gefallen. Eine düstere Story mit einen hauch Erotik....... Der nächste Teil ist schon bestellt.

Esta bastante bien. Se lo recomiendo que lo compren esta bastante bien traducido y buena historia en general nada que dicir
