Dungeon Crawler Carl (dungeon Crawler Carl Book 1)

By (author) Dinniman Matt
Description:

You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic, intergalactic game show. That’s what.

Join Coast Guard veteran Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game-like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy.

Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show.

Fresh. Creative. Hilarious. I’m obsessed…Princess Donut is my queen.
Review quote:
This series has no goddamn business burying so much depth and emotion and complexity under its bawdy, gory surface, but it does so anyway. What a wild-ass and unexpected delight
Review quote:
[A] comically cosmic adventure series…often laugh-out-loud funny…Grind your way to dungeon mastery alongside Carl and Princess Donut.
Review quote:
This is the book for anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to be a role player in a game with the best game master ever. Also for anyone who wants to read a good book. Or maybe anyone who has been outside at night—in their underwear—looking for their cat and wondering ‘What’s the worst thing that could happen?’ Once you start, you won’t put it down.
Review quote:
One of the most bananapants, funny, inventive books I have read in a while.

If there’s a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven’t read it.
Review quote:
Dungeon Crawler Carl is just one big smile all the way through. Put on your best pair of boxer shorts and sit back for a truly fun and enjoyable read.
Review quote:
Dungeon Crawler Carl is the best start to a series I’ve read this year. I wish I’d tried it sooner.
Review quote:
Dungeon Crawler Carl is a dangerously addicting tale of chaos and mayhem. I’m thoroughly hooked!
Review quote:
To describe the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and the first book in particular, one must blend the darkest, grittiest science fiction with the humour of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It mixes fun, whimsical absurdity, and serious, dark themes with dire consequences…it is so spectacularly good that I cannot recommend it high enough.
