Dungeon Core Online: Dicken Around - Book One

I love the main series but this is a very unnecessary spinoff. We hear Alex's side of events second hand in DCO, so the only things this book adds are a little detail about his family setting up the Dicken Shack and how crafting and gathering skills work in DCO. If the story was from the perspective of Alex's parents or even his little brother I'd be a lot more interested.
