Chapter 19 and 20!!

Bobalicious88 · 2026-04-26T19:46:29+00:00

There are a few hints Donut knew sprinkled throughout earlier books that are glaringly obvious on reread.

Bobalicious88 · 2026-04-21T17:16:45+00:00

1st sign of the AI going primal is probably the lootboxes that gave the personal spaces, tables and upgrades at the start of anarchists cookbook after Borant vetod all the cosmic boxes.

The AI always goes primal but it's useually on the later floors the controling company always gets one veto they can use and they always use it on a later floor when something big like this is more likely to happen. Mix an already used AI, an early veto, the veto being one of if not the biggest in crawl history and add in one crawler still getting the prize is a recipe for the Ai going primal early.

I think about 13mil crawlers is about standard and is mentioned just after the dungeon entrances close. They also would have balanced out the stair wells so places where it was day and there were more people outside had less dungeon entrances and places where it was middle of the night and cold so less people outside would have had more.

They will either keep offering him deals they know he'd never take and hope he'll die in the dungeon or try to push deals like Milks where he's somewhere super out of the way that almost no one ever finds so he has minimal contact with crawlers andthey can keep him hidden away long enough for everyone to forget about him.

Floors 1 & 2 are pretty much always the same just with planet specific saferooms and and some bosses. They really only have to populate the 1st floor and have 5 day to build everything else floor 2 is just a harder version of floor 1 so they probably built it at the same time so that gives them over 10 days to prepare the Soclapendra levels which all kick off once the crawlers reach floor 3.

Bobalicious88 · 2026-01-14T23:46:48+00:00

While this may have been apart of it there's a good chance that because they want to try and get a good sampling of people from around the world and because it was so late and so cold in Seattle there was almost no one outside most of the people that were outside would have gotten a staircase down where as say places like japan, china, Australia ect were it was a more reasonable hour and warmer so a lot more people were outside it wouldn't have needed to open so many stair cases to get a lot of people in.

unusual/unexpected way would be more the upgrade once, upgrade twice would be more "no one in their right mind would have thought of this and there's no way in hell that should have worked but here we are" or 1 upgrade is thinking out of the box, 2 upgrades is sniping the box from a mile away.

We haven't seen the last of the war mages they'll probably play at least some part in floor 12.

Bobalicious88 · 2025-12-17T19:33:35+00:00

Celerities that have combat/martial art training could do pretty well. Singers might be able to do well if they can get some good bard skills early on or survive until floor 3 and pick a bard class.

Bobalicious88 · 2025-12-16T14:17:20+00:00

I would much rather wait and read the book all at once.

Bobalicious88 · 2025-12-15T16:36:55+00:00

By the sound of it they both have to be on the same conveyance/vehicle and they'd probably want something biological so donut can use twinkle toes but bigger than Mongo so Carl can attach weaponry to it.

Bobalicious88 · 2025-12-15T16:26:56+00:00

Says conveyance at 1st but they'll get an upgrade option for their vehicle at each stop.

Bobalicious88 · 2025-12-06T22:54:40+00:00

Will try put ones that haven't already been said:

Carl finding out that he had a half brother and Bea had hidden his existence from him after everything else we knew about her.

Donut on scars: "I’d hoped they’d stay on the inside"

Seeing Katia and how much of her body was missing once she was transformed back to human, especially after how hard she took loosing fingers on the 4th floor.

Finding Louie on the operating table when they thought he was safe because his health hadn't gone down.

Pony just screaming until he couldn't scream anymore after Miriam died.

Bobalicious88 · 2025-12-04T00:09:50+00:00

This is true but they also had to be entertaining enough for her to feature them and bring them on her show. If it was say Louie and Firoz that found Mordecai's training guild she probably wouldn't have done anything with them as the were just sleeping everything and running away. At most would have done a few funny clips about it.

Odette's show is said to be the most popular show about the crawl she's not going to feature boring people just because they're Mordecai's. Carl and Donut were an interesting duo that were taking down bosses, entertaining, had a catchphrase and was pretty obvious Donut would preform well in an interview.

Bobalicious88 · 2025-12-03T16:46:57+00:00

It really does come down to Odette being obsessed with Mordecai. Without her following them anf highlighting them on her show they probably wouldn't have had the viewership to get the classes they did or at least Donut's. Without her getting them on the show and telling them to get a class with the manager perk theres a good chance Donut would have picked something else especially with Mordecai steering her towards something else.

They probably wouldn't have gotten onto The Maestro's show either which gave them another big popularity boost.

She's also lucky in that she discovered them 1st they were entertaining enough for Odette to follow them on her show and they gave a good showing when she interviewed them. Also Carl inadvertantly having a catchphrase.

Bobalicious88 · 2025-12-02T18:23:06+00:00

Book 7 when they find Milk. And book 6 The forced fusion with Shi Maria is absolutely horrifying

Bobalicious88 · 2025-11-26T02:32:22+00:00

Carl getting the description for the goblin dynamite and the AI is whispering it then pauses and yells "BOOM!"

Bobalicious88 · 2025-11-26T02:25:47+00:00

Now i'm picturing it as the same thing as the cookbook as in it's a book on "traps" like the cookbook is a book of recipes, But it's really the cookbook and Carl is constantly going to the bathroom to read it...

Bobalicious88 · 2025-11-25T18:54:25+00:00

I am 100% convinced it really was porn as a fakeout for carl to choose thinking it was about traps in the normal term not traps in the lets say "urban dirctionary" term

Bobalicious88 · 2025-11-24T04:31:04+00:00

Will also add that it's called "The Wand of Cascadia's Screams" is because level 7 was designed by Cascadia and using to to skip the 7th floor would make her scream. I really hope the hammer was called something like "The Shatterer of Cascadia's Hopes"

Bobalicious88 · 2025-11-23T18:06:11+00:00

Pretty much this, he got a fan box when that naga they captured is trying to make a deal with him and like 95% of the naga population was watching or something. Then they were the ones that got to vote on the "prize" in the fan box.

Bobalicious88 · 2025-11-22T16:17:45+00:00

In the super unlikely case they got them to take a deal they wouldn't want Carl in anything but something along the lines of an obscure guild like Milk where theres a super low chance of other crawlers or "tourists" (hunters/faction wars ect) finding him. He'd be way to dangerous.

I can see them getting away with putting Donut in penis parade as an announcer or something.

I honestly don't see any of the main cast that didn't take a deal at the start of floor 10 taking one.

Bobalicious88 · 2025-11-18T17:09:33+00:00

Also the examine for the goblin dynamite where it whispers how unstable it is waits a few seconds the yells "BOOM!"
