Dungeon Crawler Carl

Earth gets demolished for a galactic property development, the survivors are dropped into an eighteen-level dungeon, and the whole thing is broadcast as a game show. Carl goes in wearing boxer shorts and a cat.

Read these in order. The rules keep getting worse and the jokes keep getting darker, and both only build if you take the books as they come.

Reading order

1. Dungeon Crawler CarlBook 1. The best LitRPG I had read in years, and the one that sold me on the genre.
2. Carl’s Doomsday ScenarioBook 2. Bigger, weirder, meaner.
3. The Dungeon Anarchist’s CookbookBook 3. Carl learns to break the game.
4. The Gate of the Feral GodsBook 4. Ambitious, uneven, still worth it.
5. The Butcher’s MasqueradeBook 5. The series roars back.
6. The Eye of the Bedlam BrideBook 6. No review here yet.
7. This Inevitable RuinBook 7. No review here yet.
