Have been reading this since the start on Patreon. It is interesting to see how the book changes as it develops. This is one of the best of the books in the series, either tied with The Butchers Masquerade or slightly behind it depending on whether you want more action or more character development. The action is frequent and non stop, rarely giving you a chance to catch your breath before it resumes. We do get to see more characters back stories, but it feels like it is at the cost of character growth. As to be expected, plenty of death both in front of us (Carl’s POV) and off screen so to speak. I think one “off screen “ death would have been more impactful had it occurred directly in front of us like Chapter 59 of The Eye of the Bedlam Bride. Definitely a great read for the series.

Each Dungeon Crawler Carl book has remained fresh, with interesting characters, new dynamics, and an ever-growing complex world. Book 7, this book, is no exception. The adventure of Donut, Carl, and Mongo continue with an ever growing cast of crazy characters. I started this series in early 2024 and quick went through books 1-6. This series was my first exposure to the LitRPG genere, and remains clearly the best entry in that space. Book 7 has been just as much fun as the other 6. Now if Matt would just hurry up and release book 8..

I stopped reading years ago. Only had time for audiobooks, but this series brought me back. 6 books in 4 months. My absolute favorite thing in years. So much so, I’ve become a neglectful parent. Recently I followed my 4 year old into the public bathroom at the local park after he announced he had to poop. I had my face in book 6 for too long, white knuckle focused the paper pages. Eventually he got my attention with a fart sounds. I turned around to see him sitting inside the men’s urinal with a flush smile on his face. “I got this,” he says.

Matt Diniman has created something so special with Dungeon Crawler. I am not even a LitRPG fan and its my favorite book series. The book is a fantasy Zeitgeist of the world we live in today. How he has woven AI and Social media into a D&D game is brilliant. I feel the only reason it is not more widely known maybe due to the Lit RPG aspect. Started Reading and about 1/3 way through The inevitable Ruin, and it is literally everything i was hoping for.

This book delivered in every way I expected and quite a few that I didn't. Matt Dinamann has a way of giving the reader something they didn't know that wanted. I would put it right up there with The Butchers Masquerade, as one of my favorites. So stop reading this and buy the damned book.

This author is so prolific, it's hard to imagine how he continues to do world building in the 7th book of the series, but much like Carl in a tight spot, he pulls it off. I don't want to leave any spoilers here, but I'm impressed at how the author continues to pull the lens back to see more of the competing motivations as we dive into some of the major conflicts he has hinted at (or blatantly stated) along the way.

I never write reviews but if you are wondering is this series worth it just buy and I'm sorry to all the people in your life you will force to read this after you fall in love with it (not really sorry they will love it to)

I have read through and listened to these books 4x times through and I keep going. This one is even better than the last. Get this and the whole series!
