comment
Carl, having recently broken up with his girlfriend for cheating on him, is smoking in his apartment after midnight when the cat, Princess Donut, jumps out the window. He has to run out into the record-breaking cold to rescue her.This saves both their lives.Every single man-made structure on the planet collapses without warning. Everyone with a roof over their head, whether they're in a car or in Buckingham Palace, is instantly squashed. A message arrives: The Syndicate has claimed the planet and all its resources. If the survivors want anything more than a short, lonely life on the surface without technology, they have one hour to descend into the Dungeon.Carl, half-naked and freezing to death, has little choice but to grab the cat and run into the stairwell entrance. Inside, he finds Mordecai, a former crawler who now runs a tutorial guild. Mordecai explains the situation: Everything on Earth has been reclaimed, and now Carl has to advance through the Dungeon, gaining experience and loot. If he beats floor 18, he will win stewardship of the planet.No one has ever made it past floor 13.After a surprising encounter with a Legendary Pet Biscuit, Donut gains full sapience and intelligence. Together, Carl and Donut travel the dungeon, fighting monsters and encountering other players.Dungeon Crawler Carl: A LitRPG/GameLit Adventure is a LitRPG by Matt Dinniman. It covers the first two floors of the Dungeon. The sequel is Carl's Doomsday Scenario.

Adaptation Expansion: The "Immersion Tunnel" episodic audiobook version, exclusive to Soundbooth Theater's website, expands on several existing scenes greatly, such as actually letting the audience hear some of what was said on the first recap episode of Dungeon Crawler World, adds more detail in other scenes, and even adds a considerable number of background music tracks that play in situations such as combat or receiving multiple achievements.

Kleptomaniac Hero: Carl figures out early on that his best bet to survive is to just take all of the stuff. Every of the things. Infinite inventory, so why not, right?

Clarke's Third Law: Mordecai gives Carl a shrug and explains that "Technology beyond your understanding seems like magic." when Carl expresses confusion as to how all of this happened so quickly.

comment
Mistaken for Insane: Donut's first act is to change the party name to "the Royal Court of Princess Donut," and then change Carl's title to "Royal Bodyguard." Both Frank and the Meadow Lark team stare at him like he's a crazy person until Donut starts talking.

Player Killing

comment
Player Killing: Carl and Donut encounter Frank and Maggie, two player killers hunting their way through the Dungeon. Of course, this leaves them with very obvious skulls above their names, but Frank is good at spinning a sob story that gets people to let down their guards.

Charm Person: Donut's absurdly high Charisma basically gives her a free, automatic charm on any mob that is not currently tagged as hostile. She manages to talk an entire goblin clan into giving them pretty much everything they want.

World of Pun: The dungeon quickly establishes that it's built on punning on Earth pop culture, art, and history. For example, the Borough Boss guarding the stairs to the second floor is the "Ball of Swine".

Take That!
 Dungeon Crawler Carl Book One / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: Carl informs us during his first fight that he's 6'3" and 230 pounds, not unlike a certain former president once claimed. The Krakaren has a Live, Laugh, Love sign outside her chamber, along with a note that says "Good news, everyone! Little Breannlyne has the chickenpox! Potluck Pox party here at noon. No peanuts. Let’s get that immunity!".

 Dungeon Crawler Carl Book One / int_be6c0705
comment
Streisand Effect: Some time in the past, the Kua-Tin demanded everyone stop calling them Mud Skippers, even took people to court. It went from a minor epithet to a major one overnight. The Skull Empire are faced with a similar dilemma in the present with the Pork Boy Snick featuring Carl and the Maestro. A spokesperson requested that people stop referring to Maestro as Carl's Naughty Little Piggy. Odette very carefully and gleefully complies.

Schmuck Bait: Carl wanders into the dungeon and the first thing he sees is a bright neon sign reading "Da Tutorial Guild". He's suspicious of the pitch black alley it points to, but steps in and gets a prize for stepping into such an obvious trap.

A Million Is a Statistic: Averted with Carl watching the number of crawlers drop, drop, drop. By the time he's preparing to face the Borough Boss and descend to the second level, as many people have died as were murdered by the Nazi Holocaust and Carl is horrified the entire time.

Brains Versus Brawn
 Dungeon Crawler Carl Book One / int_e5206db8
comment
Brains Versus Brawn: With the regular encounters, the dungeon encourages you to adopt a fighting style and Kill! Kill! Kill! With the Boss Battles, though, it pushes you to be smart, giving you clues for ways to make the fights easier. For example: The trash woman who vomits up cockroaches: the way around that fight was to kill a grub as it came out of her mouth, blocking the exit and choking her to death. The Juicer is a roided up troglodyte: his weak point is his bulging veins. The Borough Boss is an unstoppable crushing machine of rolling pork: find a way to stop it from rolling.
