Dungeon Crawler Carl is a brilliantly original LitRPG that’s equal parts brutal, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt. The audiobook takes it to another level—Jeff Hays’ narration is phenomenal, bringing Carl, Princess Donut, and the chaos of the dungeon to life with perfect comedic timing and distinct, memorable character voices.
The story’s insane premise (Earth turned into a dungeon-crawling alien reality show) sets the stage for nonstop action, clever satire, and unexpectedly emotional moments. Hays captures every beat—whether it’s an epic boss fight or Donut’s diva-level sarcasm.
If you enjoy audiobooks with sharp writing, fast pacing, and an unforgettable narrator performance, Dungeon Crawler Carl is an absolute must-listen.
