About this listen

"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.

Continues to be a truly amazing ride into the dungeon. An amazing story, with likable and fun characters plus the performance by Jeff Hays is awesome! Highly recommended!

Amazing story and performance!

Book 2 is where I realised this series isn’t just a gimmick.

The scale jumps. The dungeon gets bigger. The politics get messier. The stakes feel heavier. And somehow the audiobook performance levels up with it.

Again, Jeff Hays absolutely carries this. There are more characters, more chaos, more insanity, and every voice still feels distinct. You never get lost. You always know who’s speaking.

But here’s what really hit me.

Book 2 isn’t just funnier. It’s darker.

There are moments where you’re laughing, and then you realise something genuinely awful just happened. The emotional beats land harder in audio because of the tone shifts. The pauses. The slight changes in delivery.

Carl starts to feel different in this one. More calculating. More aware. And that shift comes through clearly in the performance.

A lot of sequels feel like more of the same.
This one feels bigger, sharper, and slightly more disturbing beneath the humour.

If Book 1 proved the concept worked, Book 2 proves this series has depth.

And honestly, the audiobook makes that depth impossible to ignore.

The Moment I Realised This Series Isn’t Just Comedy

Feel the first two books excellently set the scene for what’s coming. A great series of books. Worth mentioning the five star performance by the reader also. Very engrossing

Great follow up
