This isnt Dungeon Crawler Carl. Don’t expect it to be. It is an engaging story with twists, memorable characters, heartwarming moments, humor, and moments of heart pounding action, mixed with edge of your seat thrills. Highly recommend.

The First Crawl
Review from Dungeon Crawler Carl →
It’s like D&D meets Hunger Games with a Video Game set up meets Reality TV. it was an amazing listen and gets you hooked but the cliffhanger at the right places make you wanting to continue the story of Princess Donut and her royal guard Carl.
Surprise Favorite
Review from Chrysalis, Books 1-3 →
Grabbed this as a palate cleanser after too much grim dark thinking it would be fun and knowing Jeff Hays and Annie Ellicott can make anything fun to listen to. Ended up finding my new favorite LitRPG series. Protagonist is a refreshing blend of practical and positive without falling into the OP special snowflake trap…
Very interesting book

If you enjoy Dominion of Blades and Dungeon Crawler Carl, I’m confident you’ll like this book too. It explores similar themes without being a LitRPG. While it is similar themes, this is different and a breath of fresh air while I wait for May 🙂
There is an obvious theme to Dinniman’s writing, but it’s not a case of telling the same story with a new veneer. Here we have “the dangers of AI” and “the horrors that people can inflict on each other” (themes common in his other works) but told via the experiences of a group of farmers..
surprisingly good

I was extremely skeptical about liking this and I don’t leave reviews on a lot of things but I was forced to make an exception, it’s absolutely fantastic.
Incredible work on all sides. Matt is a wonderful author, and there couldn’t be a better narrator for this audiobook
Fun sci-fi romp

Great narration and fun story. Very likable characters and fun world building. Matt Dinniman doesn’t miss
Fantastic characters!
Review from Chronos Warlock →
I love getting to know these characters. The time reset aspect is like a stabilizing framework within the story, and it’s deployed really well without letting the plot drag. I hope this series continues for many more books. This is the best new Urban Fantasy story I’ve read in years!
Recycled Dungeon Crawler Carl, but with less interesting characters and predictable tiresome plot, e.g. murderous alien invaders take over a planet, good-natured, put-upon, protagonist has to rally scared civilians to fight for humanity as genocide is televised for a heartless population’s amusement . I listened to seven Dungeon Crawler Carl books in less than three..
