"The training levels have concluded. Now the games may truly begin."

The ratings and views are off the chart. The fans just can't get enough. The dungeon gets more dangerous each day. But in a grinder designed to chew up and spit out crawlers by the millions, Carl and Princess Donut need to work harder than ever just to survive.

They call it the Over City. A sprawling, once-thriving metropolis devastated by a mysterious calamity. But these streets are far from abandoned. An undead circus trawls the ruins. Murdered prostitutes rain from the sky. An ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose.

Carl still has no pants.

They call it Dungeon Crawler World. For Carl and Donut, it's anything but a game.

One of the best books out there. Great performances and well written. When is the next one out?

Love it

If you're reading this review, you've most likely already read book one (if you haven't, go out and get it - just look at the average review rating! DCC is one of the best books in the litrpg genre) and are wondering if book two is going to live up to the hype.

I'm pleased to say it does. There are some differences... book 2 feels a little slower, like the author has realised he's onto a good thing and now needs to flesh out the world. There's a lot of setup early on for events that will pan out in future books, but it's good setup, and the book does get rolling into that fantastic 'action / something goes wrong / god-dammit-doughnut' that was so wonderful about book 1.

I won't say any more, except that all the main characters are back, and it's great to see the relationship between Carl and Doughnut grow. If you enjoyed book 1, you'll enjoy book 2. There are still laugh out loud moments, and lots of juicy action scenes. This is fast turning into a stellar gamelit series.

Great Second Book

Smart, sensible characters in exciting, well written, inventive situations, with enough references to a deeper situation and a much bigger world to keep it from being “I hit this; then I hit that.”

And the audio recording is of superb quality - one of the best I’ve listened to - and only adds to the experience. I’d miss it if I tried actually reading a paper copy.

I don’t read this genre, but picked this up as I wanted something popcorny. This delivered so well, I’m buying every book in the series.

One of the best parts is the characters. They don’t do dumb things just to service a plot. And, better, they occasionally do things they don’t want because it is the SENSIBLE THING TO DO! Huzzah! They take advice! So good.

I also rarely laugh out loud from books. This series is generally amusing, and I get a number of real laughs from it.

Does all the humour work? No. But most does.
There’s also probably a bit too much “and then I got these 15 items - number 1 was …” and “Now when you add this this this and this, plus this, my stay was now 87!” But it’s not so excessive that it detracts from the plot, and for the most part is necessary.

New achievement!

Reward?
That depends. Did it make you want to go buy the book? If so, you’ve got a great read/listen ahead of you. That’s enough reward!

Fantastic - smart, sensible, exciting, funny

I actually enjoyed the first 2 books much more than I thought. Has some good character development to offset some of the cheese comedy I normally avoid.
Jeff Hays does a fantastic job as usual. would love to hearAnnie in future books.

entertaining

Great fiction that is excellently narrated! Get on to the series as there’s a lot of them if you like to get into the characters’.
