"The training levels have concluded. Now the games may truly begin."
The ratings and views are off the chart. The fans just can't get enough. The dungeon gets more dangerous each day. But in a grinder designed to chew up and spit out crawlers by the millions, Carl and Princess Donut need to work harder than ever just to survive.
They call it the Over City. A sprawling, once-thriving metropolis devastated by a mysterious calamity. But these streets are far from abandoned. An undead circus trawls the ruins. Murdered prostitutes rain from the sky. An ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose.
Carl still has no pants.
They call it Dungeon Crawler World. For Carl and Donut, it's anything but a game.

Goddamnit, Donut. These books are incredible. Today, I actually had to make the very hard choice of whether to play Baldurs Gate with my friends or keep reading about some other guy “playing” an RPG.
I have also stolen about half of this book for my dnd campaign.

This series is nonexistent in the library systems I have access to, I had to request this and the 3rd book in the series via interlibrary loan. I received this book after the 3rd.
I didn't enjoy this floor as much as I did those in the 1st and 3rd books. The story took place in just 1 town and there weren't as many battles, I don't think. Which is strange because the hardcopy is incredibly thick and not alot of white space on the pages. There should be a really long story here but there's not.
The characters continue to be interesting in all 3 books, however Mordecai is a bit weird in this 1. Either I missed something in the 1st book or there was a drastic change in how the character related to this floor, with some settling in by the 3rd book.
There's still a lot of technical and political information mentioned and I just zoned out on most of that, choosing to "go with the flow" rather than try to memorize something I'd forget by the next book.
I've heard several times now that this is the weakest book in the series and if that's true I'm so excited to keep reading. I had so much fun with this one. The cast of characters and the world around them continue to grow and change and we keep getting all these little chunks of info that really just add more depth than I had expected when starting the first book. Can not wait for book three!
