Dungeon Crawler Carl

I went into this book expecting dumb fun.
What I got was:
• Explosions, stats, upgrades
• Capitalism satire
• Emotional damage
• A shocking amount of feelings??

Carl is just a normal dude who wakes up one day and is immediately forced into a murderous alien game show dungeon while wearing boxers and crocs.

This book is like if The Hunger Games got drunk with a video game, adopted a stray cat, and then live-streamed the apocalypse for ad revenue.

All in all, pleasantly surprised.
