Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt DinnimanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The second book of Dungeon Crawler Carl steps up the game in the third level of the dungeon, here presented as “the Over City,” resembling Vegas in a lot of ways (especially with its faux open air setup like Fremont Street), but built as one of several layers of a giant old volcano. Also like Vegas, there’s a lot of sex workers to go around, with Carl and Princess Donut having to contend with a cavalcade of dead prostitutes, as well as a few live ones with potentially dangerous effects (one such moment being the source of Princess Donut’s infamous complaint about Carl having an erection at the worst possible time.) The writing style is a bit improved since we no longer have to worry about introducing Carl and Princess Donut or most other aspects of this dungeon series, but overall it’s still the same dumb fun and high action as its predecessor, with a few more moments of social commentary to spice things up.
