A few months ago I watched a Booktok about a book I had never heard of previously and the premise was something I would not normally read. But the review was intriguing and so I started reading “Dungeon Crawler Carl”. I have basically done nothing since but read the series. I’m on the fourth book now.
This book is crazy weird but delightful and imaginative. The author Matt Dinniman writes without rules which provides a refreshing and surprising story line.
I haven’t heard many people talking about it, and like I mentioned before, the premise is wacky so I just had to come on here and sing its praises! Read it if you haven’t!

The audiobook for this series is incredibly done.
100% agree, the audio versions are great as well. Love LitRPG as a genre, I’m hooked.
I’ve been reading it for the past couple months now, and it’s probably the most fun I’ve had with reading something in ages.
It’s very goofy, kinda low stakes stuff.
I’m 2/3 of the way through the first book and am loving it as well.
It feels like a cross between Running Man (storyline) and Legends and Lattes (tone)
It’s nice to just read a unapologetically fun and creative adventure story. It’s definitely a power fantasy and not literary in the slightest, but that’s what makes it so good.
When you’re ready, join the rest of us that are going through withdrawal waiting for book 8. We’re over in r/dungeoncrawlercarl
It’s an awesome series! Love me some Donut!
Try in r/fantasy and r/ProgressionFantasy. It’s very popular in those circles.
Lookup yt Books with Benghis Kahn. He is a big fan of them. I have the 1st and plan to read after done with my current series.
