About this book

The aliens have come, and they’ve transformed Earth into a multilevel, video game–like dungeon. It’s the newest season of the galaxy’s most watched game show, Dungeon Crawler World. Now on the third floor, Carl and Donut have to fight harder than ever. They’ve already proven that a Coast Guard vet and once-and-forever feline royalty are an almost unstoppable team. Their ratings are off the charts. Viewers can’t get enough. But the dungeon gets more dangerous each day, and now there’s a whole new problem to deal with: Quests. 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 women rain from the sky. An ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose. Can Carl and Donut solve the mystery in time? And can Carl finally find some pants?[Bokinfo]

One book, only one floor, wow!! There so much background drama constantly going on and as it does Carl tries not to break but his laughter is getting more and more maniacal.. i think his statements of them unleashing some new even more fucked up shit is pretty apt and will probably only continue to shock him (and us). The attempt to stay hopeful and stay fighting as they witness these horrors is unfathomably heartbreaking.. descriptions of characters in their new races and classes has been very inventive and interesting. I thought there could’ve been a more tender hearted moment between Carl and Donut after she was revived thanks to him helping Signet but the tear jerking end of Chapter 24 made up for it. In all book 2 continues to impress as I’m sure so will the remainder of the series
