This was the book picked for my book club and if you are looking for a fast paced, well crafted LitRPG that has a bit more depth to it than the average Isekai adjacent genre then I recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl. Please remember it’s to be a 10 volume series first volume self-published in 2020 and when picked up by a publishing house exploded in popularity – even a live-action series is in production so I don’t need to say much more about it that hasn’t already been said. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. This book ends a natural conclusion but it does make you want to pick up the next volume immediately.
I will offer the words of Meed Touzani over at book summary
“Conclusion: The Verdict on This Beautiful Train Wreck Dungeon Crawler Carl shouldn’t work. It’s a book where a man kills monsters with his bare feet while his ex-girlfriend’s talking cat negotiates sponsorship deals, and somehow it also manages to say something real about corporate power, performative suffering, and what we’re willing to do to survive. “
