The apocalypse will be televised!

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic 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 it Dungeon Crawler World. But for Carl, it's anything but a game.

Featured Article: The top 100 fantasy listens of all time


When compiling our list of the best fantasy listening out there, we immediately came up against the age-old question: Is this fantasy or science fiction? The distinction is not as clear as you may think. Dragons, elves, and wizards are definitely fantasy, but what about wizards that also fly space ships? (Looking at you, Star Wars.) For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres.

Unique Premise • Balanced Humor • Exceptional Narration • Relatable Protagonist • Emotional Depth • Engaging Plot

I highly recommend this if you want a funny litrpg style book. It has been a blast and I for one can’t wait for the next one. Jeff Hays knocked it out of the park on the voice.

This book is awesome!

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. I loved how Dinniman set this story up. It was all just weird and unique. I feel like it got a little bogged down as it progressed, but overall, well worth a credit.

Also Jeff Hays might be my new favorite narrator

Surprisingly good

wow! This is a FUN series loads of laughs never a dull moment and you really start to care about the characters even some of the villans. if you love Litrpg and are a fan of Ready player one, spaceteam, or Apocalyptic Nomadic warrior books, you're gonna be hooked. Based on each level being 1 book this looks like it's gonna be a long series with great run time and Jeff Hays Knocks it out of the park, he gives Carl an almost Brock Sampson kind of vibe. Get it, listen, and start crawling people.

neeewww achievement!

A really strange experience. Can't remember the last time I laughed this much at an audio book, but also was really grossed out/disturbed by some parts. If you like gory violence and borderline disturbed situations, worth checking out.

Funny, but maybe a little too dark.
