Dungeon Crawler Carl

I recently picked up Dungeon Crawler Carl because it kept getting mentioned on Reddit, and people seemed really excited about it. I was skeptical at first since it’s a LitRPG, and I’ve never been into games. But I decided to give it a shot anyway.

Overall, I’d rate it a 7/10—not because it’s bad, but simply because it’s not my thing. The writing style is engaging, the humor and dialogue are solid, and I can see why so many people love it. It’s fun, fast-paced, and well-written. But the tone feels very young adult and heavily geared toward the gaming community, which isn’t really my scene.

I don’t think I’ll continue with the series, but I can absolutely see the appeal for those who enjoy this genre. If you’re into games, you’ll probably love it. If you’re not, you might struggle to connect with it, like I did.

I know some might disagree with me, but that’s just my honest take. If you’ve read it (or listened to the audiobook, like I did), I’d love to hear your thoughts!
