Summary

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.

A surprisingly heartwarming story hides within this action adventure litRPG. Voice acting is varied and top-notch. There are some genuinely funny moments. Writing is excellent.

In terms of LitRPG specifics:
- stat progression is intelligent
- statistics are kept light (perfect for audiobooks)
- monsters are a mix of original and typical fantasy
- no infodumping or OP MC

Though I was initially hesitant to pick this up because of the slapstick-looking cover, this has now become an easy pick for my favourite book of the year.

Not just my first adventure-ish book…but essentially, my first FICTION book since the ones you’re forced to read in school and I was pleasantly surprised.
A friend urged me to give it a chance over 2 months ago and despite ordering it in front of him at that moment, I didn’t begin listening for at least 6 weeks…then smashed it out in a week.
Very enjoyable, will definitely be continuing the series.
Awesome narrating and the storyline gave me flashbacks of some of the RPGs I played growing up.
Awesome work.

Roped me in…
