This Dungeon Crawl-Themed Book Series Is Like Reading A Video Game

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, diving into the world of LitRPGs was like finding a long-lost friend I never knew I needed. The Dungeon Crawler Carl series is an absolute gem for those who yearn for the thrill of leveling up and battling monsters, all while being immersed in a captivating narrative.


If you’ve ever found yourself imagining that a book would be more intriguing if its main characters had character stats and visible health points, then perhaps you should take a look at the latest print version of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. This is because the series is now releasing hardcover editions for the first time.

Matt Dinniman authored the well-known book series that falls under a specific category of fiction known as “LitRPGs.” This type of literature blends elements typical of video games, such as stats, health meters, and inventory menus, into the narrative itself. Unlike choose-your-own-adventure stories or tabletop RPGs, LitRPG books are traditional novels where characters engage with their surroundings in a manner similar to a game, often because they’ve been transported into an alternate gaming universe or due to external forces transforming the real world into something resembling a game. In the series “Dungeon Crawler Carl,” Earth has been transformed by aliens into a massive 10-level dungeon. Each book in the series explores a different level of this dungeon, complete with unique environmental features, characters that Carl encounters, and missions he undertakes in an effort to save mankind.

As a fan myself, I’m thrilled to share that if you’ve been eagerly waiting to dive into the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, your wait is finally over! For the very first time, the initial six books are getting print editions. This franchise initially started as an audiobook and ebook series, but now, you can own a hardcover copy of the first book on Amazon for an amazing discounted price of $20 (originally $30). Preorders are also available for the hardcover editions of books two and three. Enjoy the tactile experience of turning physical pages as you delve into these captivating stories!
