Oh ok, now I understand what a LitRPG book is really about.
I was hesitant to start this type of book as I thought it wouldn't really be for me.
But after reading The Cradle series I want to start another series or standalone before deciding if I want to continue these types of books. Man, I am so glad I chose to listen to BookTubers and Discord and started reading Dungeon Crawler Carl. I couldn't put this book down. I wanted to know what the next room, monster, boss, and other crawlers had in store for Carl and of course Princess Donut.
What did I like about this book? The characters, the concepts, the world building, and Princess Donut and her interactions with Carl. The characters are diverse with our main characters seeing a good amount of development and advancement during this first book. The concept...well I can't really get into it without spoiling the beginning of the book. Trust me it is interesting. The world building - well first it is not such as building but again spoilers, but interesting enough to continue with the series.
What didn't I like about the book? Really, there was not much to dislike about this book. But personally, I couldn't recommend this book to younger readers. This is due to some adult jokes and language. So, reader or parent beware.
