Plot Summary
Carl, our protagonist, finds himself in a dungeon filled with monsters, traps, and, well, more monsters. But this isn’t your typical dungeon; it’s a live-streamed event watched by beings from another universe. Talk about reality TV gone wild! Carl, along with his pet cat Princess Donut, must navigate through this perilous maze, battling foes and solving puzzles, all for the entertainment of a cosmic audience.

Opinion
The book is a page-turner, no doubt about it. The author masterfully blends elements of humor, suspense, and action. However, the story occasionally delves into dark themes that may not be everyone’s cup of tea. But hey, it’s a dungeon; it’s not supposed to be a walk in the park.
