Dungeon Crawler Carl is a science fiction and fantasy book series with LitRPG elements written by American author Matt Dinniman. The series follows Carl, a Coast Guard veteran, and Princess Donut, his ex-girlfriend's cat, as they are forced to participate in a deadly, intergalactic game show where Earth has been transformed into a massive dungeon.
Premise
The series begins with the sudden arrival of alien entities known as the Borant Corporation, who restructure Earth into a multi-level dungeon for their amusement. Humans and various Earth creatures are forced to become "contestants" in a live-streamed, gladitorial game show. Carl, having just been cheated on by his girlfriend and left with his ex's cat, finds himself thrust into a deadly competition with uncountable viewers across the galaxy watching their every move.
The dungeon levels are filled with traps, puzzles and monstrous creatures, all designed to test the contestants' strength, cunning, and teamwork. As Carl progresses through the dungeon, he gains experience, levels up, and acquires new skills and equipment, typical of LitRPG stories. The series is known for its dark humor, over-the-top violence, and the unlikely but endearing partnership between Carl and Princess Donut.
