Dungeon Crawler Carl

By Matt Dinniman , #1 of Dungeon Crawler Carl series

From Random's 3 favorite reads in 2025.

By Random Answer

Why Random loves this book

A long answer would just rehash what everyone says. Bottom line it was my first foray into modern LitRPG (I think I may have read some really early LitRPG from before it being a thing...which I also really like...Quag Keep by Andre Norton back in the 70s maybe?) and turns out as a lifelong gamer (I've been playing RPGs since before DnD had editions) I really enjoy it. I have DCC to thank for turning me onto it.

What is this book about?

The apocalypse will be televised!

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible.

In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth—from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds—collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground.

The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe.

Only a few dare venture inside. But once you're…

Heretical Fishing

By Haylock Jobson ,

From Nathan's 3 favorite reads in 2025.

By Nathan Lowell Author

Why Nathan loves this book

Lately I've been reading a lot of these isekai/progression fantasies. I also identify strongly with the sea and spent much of my younger days fishing. This series is funny, irreverent, often over the top, but retains a core of caring that left me feeling good.

What is this book about?

A world abandoned by the gods, mystifying cosmic forces, unimaginable power for those willing to ascend, and a hero who would rather . . . go fishing???

When summoned to a fantastical world and granted powers by a broken System, most freshly minted protagonists would strap on their big-boy boots and get ready for their stats to start climbing. But Fischer isn’t like most MCs. In fact, he doesn’t want to be a hero at all.

Fame? Fortune? Power? He had enough of all that in his old life. Discovering forbidden fishing techniques and petting every cute animal that comes…

Chrysalis

By RinoZ ,

From Alexis' 3 favorite reads in 2025.

By Alexis Cerritos

Why Alexis loves this book

I really resonate with the main character, the drive to survive and make the best of a terrible situation. They died, in an awful circumstance, and were reborn into a world of danger, and never skipped a beat. I see them, and what they go on to accomplish, the family they cultivate and love, as aspirational.

The Recruitment

By Michael Chatfield ,

From Nathan's 3 favorite reads in 2025.

By Nathan Lowell Author

Why Nathan loves this book

A dark read of alien invasion and induction. Not really a feel good story but one that pulled me in and kept me reading volume after volume. Chatfield is on my list of "read (almost) everything authors" and he did not disappoint me on this one. A classic tale of ratcheting stakes, ever more powerful enemies, and even more powerful friends. Power armor fans will like this one.
