Personally i dont consider it censorship if its originally made that way.
I dont know if it was in this case. I remember before the last nuke went off on this site there was a work called LAG where one girls top was a touch revealing and they badly drew over the work to make it cover more of her breasts thats definitely censorship.
My issues is, and always has been, if you aren't going to complete the drawing, then don't draw it; or even worse, draw it then put black squares over it. Honestly, I don't need boobs in my Manga or Anime to enjoy them, but you aren't fooling anyone or really preserving any type of innocence when you do that. I know they're trying to keep it within a certain rating, but even putting a towel over them is better than drawing full on nudity and then leaving out the most key detail. For me, it's just like mosaics over porn. Makes no sense.
Its not about just keeping a certain rating, its laws. You're completely forgetting where a majority of this stuff is produced, they have to adhere to those laws or else they can get fined or even jailed. That's how it is. They're not trying to preserve innocence, they're just not making a straight up porno.
I kinda wish the MC had taken the time to verify what the main goal is.
Is the goal to make as many humans as possible spend as much time in the Dungeon as possible?
Or to have them spend mana, blood, sweat, things they value?
Or to have them feel strong emotions that you can leech energy from?
Or to have a small portion die to reap their XP?
For some settings, the hot spring Dungeon would work great, for others it would barely give anything.
Anyway, I checked out the novel this is based on, and it's pretty good, 8/10.
The setting is slightly weird as Dungeonfic goes - Dungeons can't be destroyed by humans, and monsters form naturally from miasma, but you can decide loot drops. Dungeons get along pretty well, and even has basic patents going.
The main conflict is that Dungeons want to maximize their level numbers, but that requires humans beating the last level consistently. So, one of their main goals is to improve human civilization to the point where humans can go past level 27 or so. That's refreshing.

I was expecting slop, but it was better than I thought it would be. 8/10. (Time of review: 1 chapter) (Will revisit this review at 5 chapters)
Tl;Dr: Decent plot. (Currently) Bland characters. Incredible art that I can't stop glazing. Somewhat interesting setting.
WRITING:
Plot:
Our protagonist dies of illness, and reincarnates as a dungeon master. Pretty standard isekai stuff. Then, instead of becoming a dungeon master that kills people, he chooses to make the dungeon into a hot spring. Not a particularly new idea, but I don't see enough helpful dungeons in this genre, so I'll give it a pass.
The idea seems to be that more and more high profile clientele will come to the hot spring, and all the wacky hijinks that's bound to occur.
I can say that I don't really like the writing in this story though. We open with a flashback. Moreover, this flashback was handled with the attitude of "Oh yeah, that happened, didn't it?". The issue is, this is the first chapter. A flashback cheapens the effect of an event. It would have been better to just show this happening, instead of telling us what happened. All the infodumping should have taken place in the modern world, in my opinion.
Characters:
There aren't too many characters at this point. Just the protagonist and the dungeon core.
I like the idea of the dungeon core being an actual character. I've seen it happen a couple of times, but it's a rare occurrence. I also like the idea that the dungeon core does not understand human emotions. However. The core is quite an expressive character. I personally feel like that contradicts the setting a little, but maybe that's just me.
Protag-kun is kind of a generic character. We don't know much about him at all. And the things we do know, well, I'll be spoilering it under personal opinion, because what I have to say has nothing to do with the quality of the writing.
The characters so far are one-note. Not stereotypical, just not interesting. With the exception of the core, who does seem to have something of a unique personality. Not holding out hopes though. This is a slice of life after all.
Oh, and if the synopsis wasn't clear, you are going to experience male drought while reading this. That's the kind of story this is.
Personal opinion: I really, really dislike this protagonist. He's a lecher and a creep, and he's spying on women during their bath time. The first thing he does when reincarnated is ogle the core's assets. That's just plain weird. I know it's an ecchi manga, but there's a line between being horny, and being an outright creep.
I'm not a prude, don't get me wrong. I don't mind that the whole premise of the manga is just an excuse to draw sexy, naked women. In fact, I think this is a huge win for womenjoyers. But this is cookie cutter objectification. It feels slimy, is all. Rant over.
Pacing:
The pacing is good. We don't dwell on unimportant things for very long, and exposition is done at a healthy pace. Despite it being the first chapter, I was not overwhelmed by infodumping. That's a pretty good sign of things to come.
Setting:
Looks like your run of the mill fantasy world, but I have to wait for more chapters before passing judgement. There are some marks of uniqueness, though, as can be seen by the whole concept of dungeons not understanding human emotion.
ART:
Character:
The art is what saves this manga, in my opinion. Characters are expressive, poses are dynamic, the quality is off the charts. The rendering is fantastic, the linework is clean and readable, and there is plenty of detail without much clutter.
I took the liberty of looking up the artist. Safe to say, when it comes to drawing women, this person has plenty of experience, and is fairly cultured. Not just that, it's clear they've put a ton of effort into improving the quality of their art. Your ecchi is in safe hands.
Although we haven't seen many characters, the cover and the characters we have seen imply a good sense of character design. Each character has a unique silhouette, and there isn't too much same face syndrome.
Background:
I won't deny that the backgrounds of most panels are fairly generic, but the focus is mostly on the characters, so you really don't notice. Plus, when there are no characters in the panel (or when the characters only take up a small amount of space), the artist really kicks it up a notch.
Layout:
I really can't glaze the art enough. The paneling is nothing innovative, but it doesn't have to be. It has some really strong foundations. The storyboard was clearly extremely well thought out. We don't linger on things for too long, and the panel is always focused on the right subject at the right time. It's a hard skill to get right.
