His world was ending and there was no more time for him. But he found someone, a stranger, whose very being spoke to him. He wanted to tell her who he was, so he wrote about himself in a book in the only way he could, by saying whatever it was that came to his brain. Then he hoped she would read the book, and from that, know how to respond. This is that book. Wild, intense, powerful -- and underwhelming, boring, confusing. Subtle and understated. Surprising. See what kind of person you are by how you react to this book. Recommended for fans of Oscar Wilde's De Profundis. Maybe you will read it twice.

Once Yuki accepts that his fate hinges on the dungeon’s survival in a world where powerful monsters roam free and danger lurks at every corner, he begins gathering allies and bolstering his defenses.
