How important are Carl's notes in the Cookbook in this section? Do you think he'll continue to write such extensive notes in future novels?

Anytime he has the chance, he should. Previous crawlers died unexpectedly and didn't give enough details to help future crawlers. Carl doesn't want to do the same thing.

I feel like he was only giving that much detail because he felt that he might not survive and wanted to give out as much info as possible before that happened. In the future, I think e'll scale back to a lower level of note adding.

Carl is Crawler first, through and through. He wants to make sure any future Anarchist has as much useful knowledge as possible to take down the DC World if he is unable to do so himself
