There is a lot of “guy who thinks min maxing with spreadsheets is super cool”, and compounding number tropes. But that is the only bad thing here. It is interesting, fun, and lovable. Sometimes the narrator sounds like he ages 10 years from one word to the next, but sound booth theater is always amazing…
Review from Dungeon Crawler Carl →
funny, well voiced with a story that was bizarre and moved at a quick pace
Review from Dead Tired II →
The Dad jokes and puns are funny, but the book puts too much importance on the non-gender character being as feminine as possible. Plenty of books have lgbtq characters and don’t have to make it a third of the dialog. (an over exaggeration, but not by much)
Review from The Butcher’s Masquerade →
Once again Donut keeps stealing the show and that’s with a dinosaur dance number and Carl just blowing things up and getting away with it by the threads of his boxers.

Review from This Inevitable Ruin →
This book in particular was complicated but worth it. I cried twice I think. And the characters were perfectly reaching their arch’s.
Review from Carl’s Doomsday Scenario →
What a fantastic continuation of the story! The author did such a great job! I love how in depth the world keeps getting and how consistent the characters are.
Carl and Donut are the perfect duo. Their combination of charisma, grumpiness, sass, and sarcasm is perfect. Can’t wait to hear the next one in the series.
