The whole tree entrances (if that's how they all look like) is pretty unusual, but the idea of dungeons isn't. Though if they're not afraid, it seems there's never been an outburst of monsters into their normal society. Though, this is the first time i've seen dungeons being a normal part of modern society for 50+ years, most are pretty short before the novel / manga starts, but they also tend to have more problems that mean people are more afraid of them.
