This book is lots of fun! It started out trending a little “Masculine Author”, y’know the kind… but it was a brief blip in an otherwise very amusing book. I loved the potshots taken at popular gamer culture, especially as someone who is Terminally Online™️ and into D&D, MTG, video games, etc 🫡 I would rate this higher if it was a little less formulaic and repetitive, and used the word “plummeted” less. But none of those things detract from my enjoyment of the book at all! They’re just things that keep me from rating it higher - but I can’t wait to read the next one!! I just have to wait until it even appears at ALL on Libby let alone being able to put a hold on it!

This was my first LitRPG, but I really enjoyed it. I also laughed out loud so many times while reading! Highly recommend!

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.
