Thoughts on “Dungeon Crawler Carl” by Matt Dinniman

I think i found a new favorite Fantasy? Sci-fi? LiRPG book series. It’s a big recommendation for anyone that is a fan of dungeon and dragons or video games. At least for the first book. I have been told the others books in the series do some interesting changes to the format. Though yeah it it is a book I enjoyed both the concepts explored, the alibeit heavy handed themes about reality show. And the awfulness of a game show trying to have people battle royale through a giant megadungeon. I enjoyed the writing though I could also see that it may not for everyone. There is a certain humor the book has that is my jam and for friends. The book has a guy with no pants constantly arguing with his ex’s magical talking cat while also dealing with the kind of awfulness of being in an audience’s eyesight that could effect your life ala streaming and squid games. Still, i’m picking up the second book in the series to continue Carl and Princess Donut’s adventure in this weird world.
