Current Events > Guys, why is Dungeon Crawler Carl so good

(+) Yeah! (+)

Are other LitRPGs this good? I've gone through the first 6 books the past 30 days.

Good story, hilarious, sad (tears were shown for sure.

The plot is essentially that Earth has been taken over and one of the Alien corporations is creating a Dungeon crawl game using remaining humans. When you enter the dungeon, it's essentially like an RPG. You have a mental interface for taking loot, seeing health, mana, magic, skills, chat system, etc.

Now go out there and kill, kill, kill

Per Syndicate rules, subsection 543 of the Precious Elemental Reserves Code, having failed to file a proper appeal for mineral and elemental rights within 50 Solars of first contact, your planet has been successfully seized and is currently being mined of all requested elemental deposits by the assigned planetary regent.

Per Syndicate rules, subsection 543 of the Precious Elemental Reserves Code, having failed to file a proper appeal for mineral and elemental rights within 50 Solars of first contact, your planet has been successfully seized and is currently being mined of all requested elemental deposits by the assigned planetary regent. Every interior of your world has been crushed and all raw materialsorganic and inanimateare in the process of being mined for the requested elements. Per the Mined Material Reclamation act along with subsection 35 of the Indigenous Planetary Species Protection Act, any surviving humans will be given the opportunity to reclaim their lost matter. The Borant Corporation, having been assigned regency over this solar system, is allowed to choose the manner of this reclamation, and they have chosen option 3, also known as the 18-Level World Dungeon. The Borant Corporation retains all rights to broadcast, exploit, and otherwise control all aspects of the World Dungeon and will remain in control as long as they adhere to Syndicate regulations regarding world resource reclamation. Upon successful completion of level 18 of the World Dungeon, regency of this planet will revert to the successor. A Syndicate neutral observer AImyselfhas been created and dispatched to this planet to supervise the creation of the World Dungeon and to ensure all the rules and regulations are properly followed. Please pay careful attention to the following information as it will not be repeated.

Per the Indigenous Planetary Species Protection Act, all remaining materialsestimated to be 99.999999% of the sifted matteris currently being repurposed for the subterranean World Dungeon. The first level of this dungeon will open approximately 18 seconds after the end of this announcement. The first-level entrances will be open for exactly one human hour and one hour only. Once the entrances are closed, you may no longer enter. If you enter, you may not leave until you have either completed all 18 levels of the World Dungeon or if you meet certain other requirements. If you choose not to enter the World Dungeon, you will have to sustain yourself upon the surface of your planet, and this may be the last communication you receive during your lifetime

Crawlers who choose to enter the World Dungeon must find a staircase and descend to the next level down before the allotted time is up for that level. Once the time has passed, the level will be reclaimed and all remaining matter in the level, organic and inanimate, will be forfeit. Generated loot and other matter that is not gathered and claimed may be placed in the Syndicate market. Each lower level will have a longer period of reclamation. Additional rules come into play once any crawlers descend to the tenth floor. These rules will be explained when and if any crawlers reach this level. If you so choose to enter the World Dungeon, it is highly recommended you immediately find and utilize a tutorial guild. Multiple tutorial guilds will be seeded throughout the dungeon on levels 1 through 3. If you have any additional questions, or you wish to file an appeal, such requests must be submitted in writing directly to the closest Syndicate office. Thank you for being a part of the Syndicate. Have a great day.

Great series. Book 7 comes out in hardcover next month I think.

I haven't read any other litRPG, but I'm considering writing one.

I've been doing the Kindle and audible versions. Started book 7 last night

It's got an official webtoon out now too.

Highly likeable characters and a fun concept along with (mostly) good humor. They're just fun to read!

i have it sitting on my shelf. will start it soon.

It's getting made into a tabletop game as well.

most LitRPG isn't that great. Usually just men's fantasy with harem aspects.

I'm going to have to read DCC though. People keep talking about it.

one question. Is DCC a one of those stories with a harem or even a love interest and it is one of those stories where he gets laid?

I'm only on book 3 but so far there's no love interest or sign of a harem. The most prominent female character is a cat.

Yep. Hell, the cat hates cat girls as well, so no, it does not lead to that

Sounds cool.
