I’ve been reading Dungeon Crawler Carl, and there’s, what, seven or eight novels so far? The question strikes me: how much of a repetitive slog are the rest of the books? “Carl punches something until it dies, gets a joke reward as a prize” won’t hold my attention for hundreds of more pages.

A man holding a gun stands in front of a spiked mechanical creature, a goblin, and a wide-eyed cat on the cover of the book titled Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman.
