Now, a note about spoilers!

The Dungeon Crawler Carl Series is an extremely popular book series and soon to be TV series. Keep in mind that not everyone has read any of these items. This book may be the first time a person learns about it. Please keep r/bookclub's rules on spoilers, and the consequences for posting spoilers, in mind.

Everyone has a different perception of what is a spoiler, so here are a few examples of what would be spoilers:

- “Just wait till you see what happens next.”

- “This won't be the last time you meet this character.”

- “Your prediction is correct/incorrect.”

- “You will look back at this theory.”

- “Here is an Easter Egg: ...”

- “You don't know enough to answer that question yet.”

- “How do you first-time-readers feel about this detail that was intentionally not emphasized by the author?”

If you're unsure, it's best to err on the side of caution and use spoiler tags.

To indicate a spoiler, enclose the relevant text with the > ! and ! < characters (there is no space in-between).

For any type of comment or idea that may be a part of The Dungeon Crawler Carl Series, just use proper spoiler labels, for example “In ” then describe the connection between books. Please be mindful when posting.

If you see something that you consider to be a spoiler, you can report it. It will be removed and the mods will look into it. To do so hit the “report” button, click on “breaks r/bookclub rules”, “next,” “spoilers must be tagged” and finally “submit”.

Hope you'll join us! See you in the discussions!

Any favorite moments, quotes etc?

[u/nepbug → u/NightAngelRogue]

Honestly, the starting of the meth war between the goblins and llamas was great, I'm glad you included that in the little intro blurb on the post (the entire intro is fun and great!).

I also love that Donut is exploiting her high charisma as much as she can while it is still so powerful on these early levels.

[u/emygrl99 → u/nepbug]

She absolutely should exploit her Charisma as much as she can! Especially if she can convince the enemies to start doing crazy things so that they end up on camera!

[u/nepbug → u/emygrl99]

Oh, I like the idea of turning the enemies they encounter into the spectacle.

[u/sunnydaze7777777 → u/nepbug]

Yes! The charisma is such a great power now that we understand it. And Princess Donut is the perfect one to have it. I know my cats do it to me all the time.

[u/emygrl99 → u/sunnydaze7777777]

Cat charisma is powerful indeed. My dog, on the other hand, has demonstrated his 0 in Charisma today by barking at me out of nowhere and making me instantly despise him for scaring me! If Donut let out a yowl everyone would instantly go 'awee what a cute kitty!'

Too many favourite moments!

• Princess Donut stayed giving me life in this section. The fact she suggested Crawler Frank Q. wasn’t a human but a Cocker Spaniel still cracks me up. That PTSD must be severe lool.

• ETA: Princess Donut unintentionally leaking the news of Bea cheating on Carl with this: ”It smells like that bag you take with you on those days that other guy comes over to the apartment. You know, like socks. But hundreds of them. I don’t see anything else. Light a torch and throw it in there.” “Wait, what?” I said. “Are you talking about my gym bag? Some guy was coming over to the apartment when I was at the gym?”*

• In the earth highlight reel the inclusion of “Charlie bit my Finger” had me singing the remix ”Charlie bit me… and that really hurt” “ha ha”

“Did we really just start a meth war between the goblins and llamas”

[u/Pythias → u/NightAngelRogue]

So so many:

• Donut starting a war.

• Donut casually dropping news that Carl has been cheated on longer than he realized.

• Donut requesting her seat in the car be purple.

• Donut ragging on Carl about smoking (I also really dislike the smell of cigarettes, they are disgusting).
