Help With Dungeon Core Novel

[Deathcon]

I am writing a dungeon code novel but I am not quite certain what I want the main theme of the main dungeon be. I have a few ideas of course but I can’t decide on one. What I am asking is what do you all think and if I should use a poll to ask my readers what they want?

 

[TheEldritchGod]

David Bowie.
Porn.
Teseract.
A tree.
Bunny burrow.
IRS Audit.
One long corridor with machine guns at the end.

What about demons? Not necessarily the big red angry hulk version, but more decent. Like black metal warriors, darkness elementals, succubi.

 

[Bobple]

If you really don't know and your alright with it. Doing a poll is fine idea.
But what are you currently selection of ideas?

 

[Chaos_Sinner777]

Mannequins. Muah ha ha! Or Cyborgs. Monsters with a random element, determined every time you summon one? Demonic Circus? ANGRY FRUIT?!??!? Sports? Maybe not that one, don't wanna get too crazy. . . Chess? Oh, Chess themed Dungeon would be nifty.

You should definitely just make a poll.

It would have been nice if you could listed some of your current ideas though. Such a tease.

 

[BearlyAlive]

Poll your faves. Otherwise everyone will post what they would use. Like me!

My personal favorite is mirrors. Nice to set up mechanisms, traps and almost any kind of magical fokkery you can think of. Teleporting mirrors, invaders suddenly facing hundreds of enemies instead of one, being attacked by their mirror selves or needing to duel themselves instead of boss fights. And let's not forget about the reflective and karmic properties most of your stuff would get by default.

Do a poll. If you already have ideas you find interesting, then us throwing more out isn't really gonna help you. I suggest doing a poll like that on somewhere like here instead of with your readers. That way if you realize you like another option more after one's been chosen, there's less pressure changing it.

You could go with a non-standard pick, such as one that relies on magic rather than monsters, or has no control over the monsters. Or perhaps it can build very well, but cannot use magic or monsters, leading to intricate traps, shifting mazes, etc.

For monster selections, I'd personally recommend the Fae. Look into the old mythology, Fae are highly varied, and can be quite horrifying.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

I want polyandry.

HEL-LO! I clearly already suggested "David Bowie" and "IRS Audit" as a theme. Pay attention.

However, I would like to add, "The Backrooms"

I want polyandry.

OOO! What if most DUNGEONS are into Polyandry, but THIS Dungeon is into monogamy?

"Hold it."
The Adventurer looked around, "Huh?"
"Do I smell the Dungeon of a thousand screaming mushrooms, on you?"
The Adventurer looks at the walls, "Wait. Is this the dungeon?"
"Oh My GOD! You DID! YOU SLUTY ADVENTURER!"
[ADVENTURER HAS BEEN EJECTED FROM THE DUNGEON]

So only VIRGIN adventurers can enter the dungeon! There's a theme. The Dungeon goes super easy on first timers, but becomes an absolute DEATH TRAP if you have ever been to a different dungeon.

Call it: The Virgin Adventurer.

Oh god, it writes itself. The Dungeon is out of the way, so very rarely do first timers reach it. It has a reputation for being a death trap, but some local kid who doesn't know any better wanders in. The Dungeon is super easy on the newbie. The Dungeon starts romancing the Newb. Other adventurers look to hire the kid as a guide. The first team listens to him, so they survive. The second team hires him, then betrays him to steal all his equipment.

The Dungeon Gets PISSED.

He suddenly realizes the dungeon is actually super evil. He stomps out. He is about to enter a different dungeon, when he realizes...

I love that dungeon, but when he returns, the Kingdom has decided the dungeon is too dangerous, so they are going to send in an entire ARMY to root out the dungeon core and destroy it once and for all. Adventurer needs to Save the dungeon/

Boy Becomes a cleric. Boy Meets Dungeon. Boy Realizes Dungeon is Horrible soul eating Monstrosity. Dungeon Loses Boy. Boy Realizes he Loves Dungeon. Boy and Dungeon Fight Off The Hero. Boy Gets Dungeon.

Tale As Old As Time...
True as it can be.
Barely even Friends.
His team meets their Ends
Unexpectedly.

Just a little trap
Small to say the least
Both a little scared.
Neither one prepared
Dungeon and the Priest!

Thank you all for the feedback. I decided I will make a poll that I will post along with the next chapter.

Do a random roulette instead. Leave everything to the gacha gods to decide the fate of the theme

Make the theme gacha.

Tell fate to fuck itself and cheat.

Good times.

Depression theme A tongue in cheek novel about a modern man who is trapped in a dungeon of his own mind. After spending a lifetime on the fast lane and climbing the corporate ladder, he felt choked by everything and went to sleep. He woke up to find himself in a dungeon and had to find his way out or risk being consumed by the ever deepening pit.

As the adventure went further and further, he learned to accept his flaws, come to terms with his evils, found companions to go through the darkness with and engaged in the glory of buttsex. It is a tale of self-discovery, growth and anal-retentiveness.

Crystals and patterns, both abstract and simple.

How about a castle on a cliff? With machicolations, murder holes, two bailees, a wall around the cliff, and another wall around the castle. Why do dungeon core have to be middle-aged females in caves? Why not a badass castle? With a vampire/incubus final boss because this is SmutHub. One must never forget what this site is. A wonderful place, for degenerates.

IRS Audit.

I vote for this. It would be a villain protagonist novel.

Though it doesn't fit the theme of the dungeon.

Dungeon Core is more like FED
