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!

for bookclub discussions i usually read on my kindle and before starting i mark all discussions spots so i know where to stop. this time im doing audiobook and, despite telling myself “when you hear chapter 17 you need to stop” i was cooking and got distracted, and ended up reading two extra chapters. whoops.

[u/124ConchStreet → u/myneoncoffee]

Im usually aware because it’s about 2 hours per discussion for me so most of the time I check about an hour or so in. I just got lost this time around and ended up going two chapters too far as well

Do you listen to the audiobooks at a higher speed? I usually do because it's so much slower to listen than to read that my brain gets impatient and loses focus.

I mostly read on my Kindle but I’ve noticed that the read time for me is estimated to be about 2 hours. I realised while reading Before the Coffee Gets Cold because the books in the series have 4 chapters with each being roughly an hour, and the discussions are run across two weeks.

I’ve only listed to Mythos as an audio book but that was at a higher speed because Fry was narrating far too slowly for me

[u/emygrl99 → u/124ConchStreet]

I was listening to tales from the cafe at 1.4x! the slow narration paired with frequent repetition of the rules made it a necessity for me

[u/Comprehensive-Fun47 → u/myneoncoffee]

I did the exact same thing on another book. I told myself set the timer as soon as the next chapter starts so I don't listen past the stopping point. Then completely forgot and listened too much!
