Dungeon Crawler Carl: A LitRPG/Gamelit Adventure

About This Product

The apocalypse will be televised!A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground.The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe.Only a few dare venture inside. But once you're in, you can't get out. And what's worse, each level has a time limit. You have but days to find a staircase to the next level down, or it's game over. In this game, it's not about your strength or your dexterity. It's about your followers, your views. Your clout. It's about building an audience and killing those goblins with style. You can't just survive here. You gotta survive big.You gotta fight with vigor, with excitement. You gotta make them stand up and cheer. And if you do have that "it" factor, you may just find yourself with a following. That's the only way to truly survive in this game - with the help of the loot boxes dropped upon you by the generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy.They call it Dungeon Crawler World. But for Carl, it's anything but a game.

Customer Reviews Summary

I came across this through an Amazon auto-recommendation, and was a little sceptical at first. I miss the book recommendations I'd get from those with similar interests when younger, and my ability to reliably track down good reads that are not clumsily written is not as good as I'd like. Still, the Kindle price wasn't too steep, and the reviews looked favourable (even though I find you often need to take them with a pinch of salt) so I thought I'd give it a try.OMG! What a bloomin' fantastic read!! If you like fantasy/SF/ever used to play roleplaying games with your mates, buy this now!! I'd not come across RPG Lit before, so was initially surprised by the style, but was hooked after the first couple of chapters and quickly bought the next couple in the series. The books are fast paced, really well written and non formulaic even though there are proper story arcs in play, multitudes of characters are handled deftly (their interactions, actions and conversations), and they're hard to put down. I'm now just starting book 7 after powering through the lot and reading nothing else. My initial joy at loving it and realising there were a load more, is now tinged with sadness that I'm nearly at the end. Trying to read it a bit more slowly now!Thanks Matt! I will definitely be checking out your other books too.
