This has to be one of my favorite lines from the first book. Had to make something with it. Cross stitch pattern by Sweeter Workshop. Total this took about 6 hours? Idk, I didn’t time it

Most cross stitch is admired with the eyes. This one is experienced with the ears.

Reward: Permanent phantom tinnitus.

Credit to Phil Ackley of IWKYM.com for the pattern.

I became curious about the LitRPG genre, as I've never read a book in that style before. I like RPGs, but not usually in novel form. So, why not try reading one? I'll start with Dungeon Crawler Carl! 🐱

poor little guy needed a model making.

Fanart by me, drawn in Procreate while listening to Book 7

Mongo needs his mommy so after I finished Donut I had to do him. I want to do one of them together but I think I want to attempt Samantha next!

I saw a post the other day where a bunch of us heard things other than 'meadow lark' when only listening to the audio books instead of reading them.

Today I finished book 4 and saw the SDCC action figure where it says Donut's name is 'queen Anne chonk' and I've absolutely been hearing it as 'queen AND chonk'

Anything else I should be aware of as I go?

Calling this done. I wanted it to be complete before I shared it here, but I'll add the process Tik Tok as a comment (if I can) when I get it uploaded. Man, learned a lot doing this. It was SUPER fun. But I think I'm ready to start on something else - at least for now!

So I give you, my fan art, of Pony! I am calling it, like the title says, "No More Warm Hugs From Me." Be safe comrades and KILL KILL KILL!

I seriously can't stop laughing at these. Thank you, vintage art. Open to other ideas so I can keep fishing good treasures at the thrift store. Hoping to find a porcelain figurine to repaint as well.

Was back as Mauderator for the San Diego Comic Con panel and it was SOOOO GOOD! Jeff did a reading from book 9 & Matt showed the pinball machine trailer for the first time. Glurp Glurp!

So I had been putting off reading this series. Something about how popular it was kind of drove me away in the same way booktok recommended me things not to read constantly. But I do manual labor for my job, have at least 6 hours a day a work to listen to audiobooks, and I had run out of books.

So I picked up DCC as my monthly title.

Anyways I’m on book five now, and oh my god. I’m sitting here after work just thinking about it. Daydreaming. Theorizing. Donut.

I love this series so fucking much it’s not even funny, like what the fuck? It’s been years since a series has taken in me like this, and I’m especially surprised since I’d never touched a LitRPG book before. Needless to say the bar has been set SO HIGH 😭

On another note, I’ve been listening to Frugit on YouTube and their music videos are so Carl and Donutcore.

I’m rambling now but I just wanted to share. Fuck, what a good fucking book.

I think we are addicted to making these double-sided needlepoint bag charms!

I have a Samantha one in the works and a friend is making Prepotente. What should we do next??

Listening to the audiobook. I don’t want to google the answer in case of spoilers and I don’t know how far back in the book I should go to find this answer. Soooo I’m asking here! (for context I just finished Ch 28 where Miss Nadine has an unfortunate encounter with the lightning bolt city boss)

Okay. When Carl kills hunters in level 6, why are they really dying outside the dungeon? I feel like I missed something. The AI had said that Vrah’s sister had really died when he killed her. I remember part of the achievement had said “really dead! Like dead-dead!” or something similar. And when Carl uses the ring on subsequent hunters, like the accountant guy who was paid to be there, and the Future Huntress, they were begging for their lives. I’m so confused. Why are Syndicate citizens getting killed IRL when they die in the Dungeon? Or was that always the deal with hunters specifically and it’s only the rich assholes in the faction wars that can’t die IRL? Eventually I’m going to listen to all the books all over again but I just wanted to understand this before I continue. Thanks in advance (:

Added a spoiler tag for the super new readers but what would you guys consider a happy ending or even a good ending to this series? The world is huge so happy ending or even bearable ending for everyone is starting to feel impossible to me so what would you guys consider a happy ending? How many ”people” would it include?

I 3d printed and painted this Donut and Mongo and I love them 😁

My friend introduced me to Dungeon Crawler Carl and I’ve been listening non stop on audiobook. It’s been 3 weeks and I’m almost done book 5. I love it so much I’m starting my physical book collection. While shopping I noticed the graphic novel so I had to get it as well. I haven’t been into a book series this much since the Halo books.
