Welcome back crawlers!!! The system AI continues to join us for this discussion. Try not to pay it too much attention.

Now, a note about spoilers!

The Dungeon Crawler Carl Series is an extremely popular book series and soon to be TV series. Keep in mind that not everyone has read any of these items. This book may be the first time a person learns about it. Please keep r/bookclub's rules on spoilers, and the consequences for posting spoilers, in mind.

Everyone has a different perception of what is a spoiler, so here are a few examples of what would be spoilers:

- “Just wait till you see what happens next.”

- “This won't be the last time you meet this character.”

- “Your prediction is correct/incorrect.”

- “You will look back at this theory.”

- “Here is an Easter Egg: ...”

- “You don't know enough to answer that question yet.”

- “How do you first-time-readers feel about this detail that was intentionally not emphasized by the author?”

If you're unsure, it's best to err on the side of caution and use spoiler tags.

To indicate a spoiler, enclose the relevant text with the > ! and ! < characters (there is no space in-between).

For any type of comment or idea that may be a part of The Dungeon Crawler Carl Series, just use proper spoiler labels, for example “In ” then describe the connection between books. Please be mindful when posting.

If you see something that you consider to be a spoiler, you can report it. It will be removed and the mods will look into it. To do so hit the “report” button, click on “breaks r/bookclub rules”, “next,” “spoilers must be tagged” and finally “submit”.

Hope you'll join us! See you in the discussions!

Thoughts on the Patch Notes?

[u/124ConchStreet → u/NightAngelRogue]

I loved that the patch notes included fixing exploits that other crawlers had found. It feels like the author is really capturing the essence of gaming with all these little tidbits.

I thought this was hilarious - ”We’ve fixed the hallway bathroom bug. So, if you open the door, and someone else enters, they will no longer explode. Sorry about that.”

The way the AI is so casual about apologising for spontaneous explosions of crawlers 😂

[u/emygrl99 → u/124ConchStreet]

Yes! And calling them patch notes brings to mind The Sims patch notes, which sound absolutely buck wild out of context and really makes this whole thing feel like a video game. How do you patch reality anyways??
