Dungeon Crawler Carl
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The apocalypse will be televised! Welcome to the first book in the wildly popular and addictive Dungeon Crawler Carl series—now with bonus material exclusive to this print edition.
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 vet 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.
Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.
Includes part one of the exclusive bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.”

✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *Dungeon Crawler Carl* is a fast-paced, darkly humorous LitRPG blending action, witty banter, and strong world-building, with Princess Don...
If you want to read the funniest most realistic book ever this is the book for you. You will even earn a reward. This filled my cup of the love for playing video games and dungeons and dragons. I will be purchasing every book in this series because I need the real live trophies.
This was definitely not my typical genre of book, but I read/listened to it for our book club choice. While it was entertaining, I am not sure I will be continuing the series. I will say that Princess Donut made the story for me! Meow!!
I am 100% addicted to this series now. I fear it will consume me and I will need a physical copy of this series at some point. I absolutely loved this and although very different than other 5-star reads, I simply couldn’t give it anything less. I was thoroughly entertained the entire time. I felt like it had everything, from the action and the dystopian “world is ending concept” to the game show and comedy I ate it up. This is one of those books that I think could get non-readers into reading and I found that exciting. I cannot wait to continue devouring these!
This was quite an audio experience. I cannot believe there is only one narrator. I found this book imaginative and creative, however, I also felt that it went on for too long. Also, at times, I felt like I was listening to a book that was designed for boys to read.
Oh boy! Didn't know what I was getting myself into, but I loved every page! LitRPG is legit when in the right hands. This is one of those book reading experiences you never forget!
