LitRPG, or Literay Role-playing Game, is a fantasy and sci-fi subgenre featuring video game tropes like stats, health bars, hit points, inventory screens, and more. Some LitRPG series take place inside of fictional video games, virtual reality, or, in the case of Dungeon Crawler Carl, a reality show competition structured like a video game. The genre has exploded in popularity in recent years, with Dungeon Crawler Carl and a few other series becoming massive mainstream hits.
If you're already a fan of the series but don't own all six hardcover editions available so far, Books 4-6 are eligible for Amazon's Buy Two, Get One Free Sale. All three hit store shelves over the past few months, with the seventh (and latest) entry slated to be published September 23. This Inevitable Ruin is available to preorder at Amazon, and Book 8, Carl's Book of Boom, is expected to release in 2026.
Even if you've already read the series, the hardcover editions are worth checking out, as each one contains a portion of Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret, a novella that's exclusive to the hardcover releases.

Dungeon Carl Crawler is a quintessential example of the LitRPG genre. When bored aliens transform Earth into a giant video-game style dungeon, Coast Guard veteran Carl becomes a participant in a life-or-death tournament. Carl is accompanied by a cat named Princess Donut. Throughout the series, the duo squares off against a wide array of monsters and solves puzzles. In case the name Princess Donut didn't give it away, Dungeon Crawler Carl doesn't take itself too seriously. Despite the high stakes, the series frequently leans into the ridiculousness of the scenario with darkly humorous dialogue and over-the-top violence.
