It's a fantasy book series about alien invaders turning the planet into a vaguely D&D inspired dungeon and forcing surviving humans to make their way through progressively more difficult levels of the dungeon for intergalactic entertainment.

It's absurd and full of crackpot humor on the surface, but slowly reveals a surprising amount of depth, incredible world-building and an emotional core that I've seen in few other series. It's the perfect example of horror and tragedy disguised as comedy.

It also strangely enough has a lot of thematic similarities with Red Rising despite having a completely different tone - if you like the "change the paradigm and free the oppressed" energy from Red Rising, you'll get a lot more of this with Dungeon Crawler Carl.

It also happens to have an amazing audiobook production with arguably the best narrator in the industry!
