Kindle cover of Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman which shows a sort of goofy illustration of a man wearing boxer shorts with hearts on them wandering through a dungeon filled with monsters.

   Book 30: Dungeon Crawler Carl. I put off reading this because the cover is so dumb. I'm glad I persevered. It's a "What if an RPG was in novel form and was funny?" book with Carl who survives a weird apocalypse only to wind up in a dungeon RPG along with his ex-girlfriend's cat who gets some buffs so that she can talk. There's a complex ruleset and a lot of funny bits while there's also a lot of boss battles complete with weird monsters and a lot of gore. Part of a longer series, will read more.
