Book Blog #399: Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman

 

Title: Carl's Doomsday Scenario

Author: Matt Dinniman

# of Pages: 400 (ebook)

Genre: Adult, Science Fiction, Adventure

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Synopsis: 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.

Review: Not as big of a fan of this one compared to the first one. The main focus is introducing quests to the dungeon. When they are working through each quest, the quests are unrelated to each other, so it felt like I was reading different stories. I would've liked it more if there was a greater focus on progressing some of the plot lines started in the first book. 

The first half had me interested, but my reading progressed slowed down with the last quest because I wasn't too interested in that storyline. 

Low 3 stars, but will consider reading the next book after taking a break.
