There are so many light novels out there, and it's hard to say for sure if this one is popular. It could be really popular within certain circles, like those who are into reincarnation - themed stories or royal - setting fantasies. However, without looking at sales figures, online reviews, and fan communities specifically dedicated to it, it's difficult to gauge its overall popularity. Maybe it has a growing fan base if it's relatively new, or it could be a hidden gem that only a few people know about but absolutely love.
One popular 'human reincarnated as elf light novel' is 'Re:Monster'. In this story, the protagonist is reincarnated as a goblin, which is related to the elf concept in the sense of being a fantasy race. It has an interesting plot about the protagonist's growth and his interactions in the new world.
It's likely about a person who is reincarnated as a 7th prince. Maybe it involves his new life in a fantasy world, dealing with court intrigue, learning magic or combat skills, and trying to make his mark in this new life.
One common theme is identity. The human has to figure out who they are now as Spike. Another theme is adaptation. They have to adapt to Spike's world, which can be very different from the human world.
One interesting fanfiction could be 'Reborn as Spike'. It really delves into the character's new experiences in the world of Spike. The author does a great job of showing how the human's previous life knowledge affects his actions as Spike.
A theme related to power and growth is prevalent. As they start their new life as an elf, they usually have to gain power to survive. This could involve leveling up, like in a game - like system in some novels, or learning ancient elven magic. They might also form alliances with other races or individuals in their pursuit of power and to protect their new elven homeland.

One unique feature could be the perspective shift. Instead of the usual hero or villain, we get to see the world from a dungeon core's point of view. This allows for a fresh take on world - building, as the dungeon core has to manage resources, create traps, and deal with invaders in a very different way compared to a human character.
The main character is, of course, the human who has been reincarnated as a dungeon core. Their past life experiences as a human shape their actions and decisions as a dungeon. There may also be some key adventurers who are constantly trying to raid the dungeon. They are sort of the antagonists from the dungeon core's perspective, but they also have their own backstories and motives.
