I am trying to read 100 books this year,
I just finished book 1 which is Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. I am going to review and let people know if I liked it or not :)
It was a 6 ⭐ Read for me and probably the funniest book I have read. I highly recommend it!
Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman drops an ordinary guy and his ex-girlfriend’s cat into a brutal, gamified apocalypse where Earth is transformed into a lethal dungeon for alien entertainment. Armed with sarcasm, stubborn resilience, and an increasingly unhinged AI system, Carl must survive floor after floor of monsters, traps, and cosmic absurdity—while millions watch.
Dungeon Crawler Carl is outrageously funny, relentlessly creative, and shockingly heartfelt. What starts as a LitRPG romp quickly evolves into a sharp satire of capitalism, reality TV, and survival itself. Carl is a rare protagonist. He is grumpy, moral, and deeply human, while Princess Donut steals every scene she’s in. The dungeon mechanics are clever without being tedious, the stakes escalate masterfully, and the humor never undercuts the emotional punches.
