This is a review of the 5th book in the 'Dungeon Crawler Carl' series, 'The Butcher's Masquerade' by Matt Dinniman. The book continues the DnD adventure set by aliens trying to make a show of their harvest of our planet and its main protagonist Carl. The review states that the book is just as good as the previous ones, with new revelations, death of significant characters, new ordeals, and unexpected twists. The author plans to write 7-8 books in total, and the story steadily proceeds to its resolution with enough secondary lines and twists to keep its reader excited and entertained. The series is recommended for those who enjoyed the first two books and are looking for a well-paced story with believable world-building.

The third book in the "Dungeon Crawler Carl" series, "The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook" by Matt Dinniman, continues Carl's dungeon crawl on the 4th level. The new location has a lot of unique rules and tricks, making the game mechanics more complex. The audio version of the book is also very good, with numerous sound effects that immerse the listener in the atmosphere of the world. The author is meticulous in tracking all the stats, items, and other game details, and is not afraid to return to a previous chapter and change it to twist the final plot even more.
Book 2 in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman follows the adventures of protagonist Carl and his companion Princess Donut on level 3 of the dungeon. While the book adds more details and character development, it also becomes more complex. The book is tragic yet funny, unrealistic yet logical, and full of magic and melee wrapped into an ultimate space opera setup. Recommended for those who enjoy controversial requests.
