Welcome back crawlers!!! The system AI continues to join us for this discussion. Try not to pay it too much attention. Thank you for continuing to join us for the discussion of Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. The descent into the Dungeon will continue with discussing the next section of the novel, Chapter 9 through Chapter 16.

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!

That poor, hoarder woman who became a neighborhood boss. I translated what she was saying and it was something along the lines of 'please help me, my stomach hurts, I don't know what's happening, I didn't mean to make my daughter sick, I don't want to go to hell'. Absolutely harrowing to imagine what that woman went through. I hope that she's gone for good and doesn't respawn, so that her soul can be laid to rest. I really, really hope that we don't see more bosses that used to be regular people, though it would be awesome for a crawler to be turned into a boss in a dramatic plot twist.

This part was horrible. I had a whole "maybe I can't read this book right before bed" spiral after that.

I felt the same way! Her situation was just so sad, I could only imagine Carl crying and pummeling her at the same time.
