The apocalypsewillbe televised!
A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sad*stic 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 itDungeon Crawler World. But for Carl, it's anything but a game.

10/01/20
The first several chapters of DCC are now off of Royal Road because the book is on Amazon. I want to thank all of you for 9 months of amazing support. This is and Patreon will always be the place for the newest chapters and content, but to comply with Amazon's Kindle Unlimited policy, I can't have more than 10% of the story up here.
This is a work in progress. Major editing will be done after the book is complete, so there will be egregious typos and parts that make no sense whatsoever. Please, please feel free to point any and all of these things out. Chapters WILL get edited, and that editing might break earlier chapters. I will attempt to keep readers apprised of all changes. Updates one-two days a week.

Overall i very much enjoy this story. However once i caught up i realized the problem that had been nagging at me. Each chapter itself is not worth much. During each release it feels like you take a baby step forward which is not a problem when you are reading through but this way it feels too small

No power creep in a LitRPG what?

Dark comedy, actual characters you can empathize with, sensible progression and a good 'ol snarky System with a fetish for legs.
The best part is that the magic serves to advance the plot and not the other way around.

This story is well written, clever, and really fun. The plot is entertaining and the characters are interesting. The AI is an awesome villain.
There aren't any real downsides. Maybe the party could be a bit bigger. Maybe the side characters a little more fleshed out. But honestly, these are real nitpicks on my part, and mostly just to get to fifty words. The first paragraph is the real review

Yes, this is probably the best litrpg, and one of the best stories in general on the site. It's bloody brilliant in almost every way. Right-o, let's talk about a flaw.
The cat. Donut. Princess Donut.
Why.
To put it bluntly, she's annoying. Like, really annoying.
I know that she's intentionally annoying, but still. It's a little too much. It's not even like she needs to be removed. If her sass were only toned down a little, dungeon carl could be a practically perfect litrpg.
Of course, i'm sure many will disagree with me, but that's fine.

Toby's Story
Reviewed at: Chapter 96

This is a thrilling story, full of intrigue, twists, drama, and backstabbing. Will Toby's alliances with 'the cat' remain until they fight the clones? Was Freddy really innocent of stealing his logistical supplies (snacks)? Was Tobita Notaclone actually not a clone?
...There is also a pretty good side-story about the Carl fella fighting against a dungeon. Great read so far, I highly recommend it! :D

The story of carl is humorous and yet deep in the conflicts that present themselves to him. A minor problem of the appocalitic genere itself is that if the MC is not reincarnated / timetraveled the MC is always reacting and not really acting. So far the author has not given much space for action but the reactions have been well scripted. I hope that the MC will get to act himself rather then beeing driven by circ*mstances. Other then that the story is a fun read and is working with steriotypes quite well. At this point (@Chapter 50) the running jokes are coming to the point were a change is needed but it seems that the author is working at it. Grammar has not been an issue reading the story so far but the MC and his cat use a similar style a more distinced difference would make it more intresting. it could be something small like mentioning the tone or prnouciation of the diffrent mobs to give more character. But yeah a good read.

Emphasis on the Comedy Tag
Reviewed at: Chapter 41

Expect a fun, lighthearted read about Donut the cat and her pet human Carl.
The adventure and fantasy tags take a backseat in this story. They're only grudgingly along for this ride, never to take the spotlight.
Don't expect anything too in-depth out of this, as the story fails to take itself seriously at key points to make way for its quirky and quippy humour.
The tags and synopsis are very misleading in this aspect.

I really must stop judging books on first impressions, i am sure a lot of people do, and there is a truly massive amount of garbage on this site, occasionally you will find a gem hidden in the filth, which is usually well written, unfinished and has been on hiatus for 3 years or more.
this is a proper gem, initially dismissed it, and then dismissed it again, and then i ran out of other stuff to read, and here i am, it has made me outright laugh more than a few times so far, the concept is solid, the writing is excellent and all of the characters so far feel like people, not just cardboard cutouts.
this had better continue a long time, and the author better not dissapear off the face of the planet, because this is one of the better books ive read lately, and those are in desperately short supply.
Keep up the good work

I have loved the quirkiness and fun that is this book. The funny scenarios. The dramatic cat. The chaos. It is just too funny and addicting. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to laugh and just enjoy a good read. The author has a way of keeping the story fresh without repeating scenes and manages to keep a well thought through plot that I hope doesn't end for a long time. It's hard for me to find a book that I can compare to this series.

Fun story idea, horrible MC.
Reviewed at: Chapter 55
by Henry Morgan Monday, April 27, 2020 2:28:23 AM
Not sure about all these glowing reviews, the MC is an amoral, incompetent scumbag that can't think without his feline pet (read, master).
There is hardly any redeeming features about the main character, but the story has some good humour, the plot runs smoothly, there is clever ideas and if you don't mind the MC, it can be a fun story.
