Publisher's summary

"The training levels have concluded. Now the games may truly begin."

The ratings and views are off the chart. The fans just can't get enough. The dungeon gets more dangerous each day. But in a grinder designed to chew up and spit out crawlers by the millions, Carl and Princess Donut need to work harder than ever just to survive.

They call it the Over City. A sprawling, once-thriving metropolis devastated by a mysterious calamity. But these streets are far from abandoned. An undead circus trawls the ruins. Murdered prostitutes rain from the sky. An ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose.

Carl still has no pants.

They call it Dungeon Crawler World. For Carl and Donut, it's anything but a game.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Loads of fun

Jeff Hays knocks the narration for this fantastic book out of the park! I'm a huge fan of the genre and this series is my favorite so far.

My only gripe is that the book seems too short. Can't wait for book three!

Annoying but good

You could've gone the whole book without bringing up smoking... 🤮
At least you dropped the fake Seattle BS.
Still though, the background and universe is really well thought out. Like the fact that there are nonsensical rules that have sensical origins. The legal ramifications, the vetos, the space opera, the fact that the main characters aren't #1 at everything... It's really nice to see something this well fleshed out. (It was one of my biggest pet peeves in YA fiction like Harry Potter, or even TV shows like Star Trek)... The one place I can fault it here is that somehow Earth TV is the best TV the universe has ever seen? That can't be true (kind of ridiculous really). But it's possible that the characters who believe this just have bad taste (or in Donut's case, like how much alien "TV" has she really watched anyway?) 🤔

Typical Second for a Solid Series

Not as gut-shakingly hilarious as the first, but still funny and massively entertaining. Strap in folks, this series is gonna go for floors! (read miles)

Godammit Donut

Bombs, booze and tasteful boobs, all rolled into a mess by a bitter man and read by a guy who wants some nipples. 10/10.

New Achievement: Empire Strikes Back

You have done what most movies failed to do. You pulled off a sequel! That’s right and it’s just as good as finding out Vader was Luke’s father.

Reward? You can look forward to listening to it yourself and will like it about as much as the first volume. Probably. You do you buck-o.

lighthearted hilarious novel

Great break between more serious sagas. I typically read serious high fantasy books. With this I get a good laugh every chapter. Pacing is similar to Dresden and that genre, with an overly humorous flair. If you want something light that makes you laugh throughout, this is it. Pleasantly surprised by how amazingly good it is
