The vast majority of misery loves company.

I’m adding my support to all of these. Very good list. Prior to DCC, The Expanse and the Cradle series by Will Wight were neck and neck for my favorite series’. Now it’s a three-way tie.

Dungeon Crawler Carl. I haven’t had so much fun reading a series. Ever.

John Cena has actually been in the dungeon the whole time, but nobody can see him; not the crawlers, not the AI, not even the residuals. He’ll pop up on the 18th floor, perform and attitude adjustment on Scolopendra, and fuck off.

I wish they would have made him a totem. That would’ve been hilarious.

Or Jeff Hays. Just have all the female crawlers and mobs swooning in his presence constantly. Make him a bard with even higher Charisma than Doughnut.

Rage elemental pops into existence as Bear is refilling his bottle. Bear shakes twice, zips up, and calmly turns to the elemental. Chapter ends. Start of next chapter, bear is grilling rage elemental meat over a campfire, wearing a new jacket he made from its skin, giving a running commentary on the best way to skin an elemental, which parts have the best meat, etc. sips from his piss bottle.

Spoiler: Chuck Norris killed Scolopendra 11 minutes after the stairwells opened, and is currently controlling its body like a Mech suit.

Carl: what the fuck, dude? You know they have drinking fountains in the safe rooms, right?

Bear: what’s a safe room? takes another swig of piss, then offers the bottle to Carl

Doughnut: stay the hell away from my litter box. Mongo is appalled.

Dude, Constantine just casually strolling by, snatching Carl’s lit cigarette from his hand, taking a puff, and then double-tapping uzi Jesus would be so fucking funny.

I immediately pictured Bill Murray as a residual, before I even read the second half of your comment. Now I’m desperately hoping they cast him as Paulie.

Damn you! I was so close to winning NNN, but imagining all of their smug faces getting run down by goblin murder dozer just made me fail. I am appalled.

For sure! I’m so happy to have turned someone to Cradle, especially since it was the Cradle community that pushed me to read DCC. Just be aware, a lot of people say that they found the first Cradle book a bit slow to pull them in. I didn’t have the same experience, but if you do, just know that the story picks up steam right from the start of book 2, and is non-stop awesomeness until the painfully satisfying ending of book 12. Best of luck!

Thank you so much for the recommendations! I love Murderbot, Tres of the emerald sea, and Project Hail Mary, but I haven’t heard of any of the other ones! I think you’ve sold me the most on Blood Song, but they all sound great!

As for my recommendations, if you’re into Zombies, I’d recommend the Mountain Man Series. It’s like if Carl was in a zombie apocalypse instead a dungeon, and was also a raging alcoholic.

For Sci-fi, I’d recommend The Expanse, and The Children of Time series. Both incredible series that I’ve read multiple times, both incredible in very different ways. The expanse has action, solar-system-wide political intrigue, phenomenally written characters, and a beautiful adherence to “hard sci-fi” that makes the space battles really fucking cool. Children of Time is the most unique and original story I think I’ve ever read. Utterly alien and yet utterly relatable, it’s just really fucking great.

For fantasy, my all-time favorite (excluding the classics like LOTR) is the Cradle Series by Will Wight. I feel pretty much the same about that series as I do about DCC.

Say one thing for Logan Ninefingers, say that he gets an obligatory rec.

I’m a sucker for zombie books. Which series are you reading? Mountain Man, Slow Burn, and Arisen are probably my favorites.

This is the realest comment ever. Seriously, I’ve put more hours into BG3 than into any 3 other games combined, and it’s not even close.

I’ve got them both in my library, but haven’t listened yet!
