Dungeon Crawler Carl

About This Audiobook

Carl is outside in boxer shorts chasing his ex's prize-winning cat when the aliens demolish every building on Earth and invite the survivors into an eighteen-floor dungeon that doubles as the galaxy's biggest reality show. The cat — Princess Donut — gains sapience, a crown, and instant top billing. This is the best audiobook in our database, and it isn't close. Dinniman stacks absurd comedy on top of genuine rage on top of real grief, and somehow the achievement messages from a deranged AI land as both jokes and worldbuilding. Donut is the greatest sidekick in the genre, comic relief and emotional anchor in the same furry package. The only recurring knock: the video-game framing can wear on people somewhere across eight books. Jeff Hays delivers the definitive performance of modern LitRPG — his Donut voice alone has spawned a thousand memes, and print readers are legitimately missing part of the text. 61.4K ratings. 4.9.
