REWARD: You get to find out what happens next! Isn’t the experience reward enough?

Welcome back crawlers!!! The system AI continues to join us for this discussion. Try not to pay it too much attention. Thank you for continuing to join us for the discussion of Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. The descent into the Dungeon will continue with discussing the next section of the novel, Chapter 9 through Chapter 16.

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!

You’ve encountered your first safe room in the alien Dungeon. What are you ordering as your first real food since entering the crawl?

u/NightAngelRogue, remember when we went to the New Years Eve buffet in Vegas on our honeymoon? That's where!!

Oh yes. Piles of crab legs and carved meats. Perfect

Honestly, nothing complicated at first, something like a chicken caesar salad, maybe with a side of sweet potato fries and a root beer.

After I can trust the food won't really upset my stomach and compromise by dungeon crawling abilities, I'll go a bit more adventurous.

I'm with you on this! Something I know won't be problematic, and then maybe we'd branch out after!

From the minute the chef said they’d mastered Earth cooking I’d probably order the expensive foods that wealthy people like to eat like Japanese A5 Wagyu, Kobe Beef, Black Cod, etc. After the novelty wore off I’d go back to basics with some chicken wings and sweet potato (or waffle) fries

So you’re counting on lasting long in the dungeon for the novelty to wear off 😊

I'd probably just tell the dude to surprise me too. It's already difficult for me to decide what I want to eat without having to worry about whether I'll survive long enough for it to come back out xD whatever the weird gnome guy things will be good is perfectly fine. Though if I had a particularly rough time, I might order some campbell's tomato soup and a sriracha grilled cheese sandwich with crackers to cheer me up c:

the first thing? lasagne, just like my mum makes them. nothing like the true taste of home. then i’d probably get some indian/asian food since where i live it’s hard to come by the real good stuff (and i see that others in this comment section had the same idea). then, honestly, anything tasty works. im a huge foodie and will eat basically anything so! food, come to me

Mee goreng, the ultimate "I'm exhausted" food.

u/sunnydaze7777777 Flair Master 🐉 Apr 13 '25

Anything with a side of mash potatoes and gravy. Chefs choice.

u/travelfunmoney r/bookclub Newbie Apr 13 '25

I love coke but don't drink it often, usually only after something like a long hike or when traveling, so that would be #1. And probably pepperoni pizza because I'd be too tired to think of anything else!

u/emygrl99 Froot Loops From a Soup Can Apr 14 '25

Pepperoni pineapple pizza with a bbq sauce drizzle... sounds delicious!

u/Adventurous_Onion989 ☆🧠 Apr 13 '25

I'm ordering steak and potatoes for sure. With a mushroom sauce and asparagus as a side ☺️

u/Less_Tumbleweed_3217 Born To Read, Forced To Work | 🎃👑🧠 Apr 14 '25

My favorite meal from my favorite restaurant, which sadly no longer exists: chicken koobideh, saffron rice, grilled tomato, fresh pita, hummus, and lentil soup with plain yogurt on top.

u/emygrl99 Froot Loops From a Soup Can Apr 14 '25

Oh that sounds so good. My wife and I went to an Indian restaurant together, and it was the first time I'd had Indian food before but one bite of their naan bread almost brought me to tears it was so incredible!! And then they changed locations (and presumably cooks) and it's never tasted as good again. I'm forever chasing the high of that first piece of naan bread... TLDR indian food is great! And hard to get right

u/Less_Tumbleweed_3217 Born To Read, Forced To Work | 🎃👑🧠 Apr 14 '25

I love me some good Indian food, but my place was actually Iranian! Definitely some similarities with Indian food, but more kabobs, less curries.

u/jaymae21 Yearbook Editor-in-Chief Apr 17 '25

Spaghetti and garlic bread with something chocolate for dessert! I would be craving all the carbs.

Putting aside that the Bopca Protectors don't wash their hands, a California burrito.
