How many Dungeon Crawler Carl books are there?
There are eight books out right now. The latest one is A Parade of Horribles, which came out in May 2026.
The author plans to wrap things up with two more books. The next one is expected to be called The Beautiful Place, and it might be split into two volumes. So the series isn't finished yet.
Is Dungeon Crawler Carl a game or book?
It's a book series, not a game. It's written by Matt Dinniman. The story has a lot of game-like stuff in it—levels, loot, stats—because it's LitRPG. But it's still a novel. You read it, you don't play it.
Is Dungeon Crawler Carl worth reading?
Yeah, it's definitely worth reading. People go absolutely nuts over it. The series has sold millions of copies and has a super high rating on Goodreads. Most readers say it's a wild, fun ride that they can't put down.
The humor is a huge part of the appeal. It's hilarious, a little vulgar, and totally ridiculous in the best way. A lot of the jokes hit hard, especially if you're into gaming or D&D style stuff. Fair warning though—some of the humor is pretty crude, and a few readers have pointed out that the jokes can feel a bit "male humor" focused.
But it's not just comedy. The action is fast and intense. The story is surprisingly brutal and dark at times, even though it's funny. People also get really attached to the characters, especially Carl and his cat, Princess Donut. A lot of fans say they binged the whole series in a week and felt empty when it was over.
So, if you like dark humor, fast-paced action, and a story that's way more emotional than it has any right to be, give it a shot. A lot of people say the audiobook version is fantastic too.
