A sharp fit for readers who enjoy dungeon adventures, absurd humor, deadly challenges, and uneasy alliances.
The Gate of the Feral Gods
Fantasy · Travis' Picks · LitRPG
Our take
On the dungeon’s fifth floor, Carl and his team have fifteen days to capture four castles and unlock the stairwell, but they must rely on low-level crawlers whose loyalty is uncertain. Their targets include a floating gnome fortress, a sand castle, a derelict submarine, and a trap-filled haunted crypt, with a 4.7-star rating from more than 55,800 Amazon reviewers. A sharp fit for readers who enjoy dungeon adventures, absurd humor, deadly challenges, and uneasy alliances.
Choose your retailer
About the book
New achievement unlocked: total, utter failure.
Carl and Princess Donut have survived monsters, mazes, and madness, but the fifth floor is something new. The rules are simple—capture four castles in fifteen days—and completely impossible. A floating fortress of gnomes, a crumbling castle of sand, a haunted crypt, and a derelict submarine all stand between them and the next level.
To win, Carl must rely on a team of low-level crawlers who seem barely capable of survival. In a world where every ally could be bait, every victory carries a cost.
Matt Dinniman’s The Gate of the Feral Gods is a brutal, hilarious LitRPG adventure where teamwork, betrayal, and chaos collide deep in the dungeon’s deadly fifth floor.

Our take
Carl and Donut reach the dungeon’s fourth floor, where they must navigate the Iron Tangle, a sprawling subway system filled with monsters, dangerous stations, and confusing routes, while a seemingly useless book may hold the key to escaping, with a 4.6-star rating from more than 73,500 Amazon reviewers. A strong match for readers who enjoy action-heavy progression fantasy, elaborate dungeon puzzles, dark humor, and chaotic teamwork.

About the book
Welcome to the Gun Show!
The top ten list is populated. The sponsorship program is open. The difficulty is ramping up. The first three floors were nothing compared to what Carl and Donut now face.
The Iron Tangle. An impossibly-complicated subway system built out of the world's subterranean railway systems, all combined and then tied together into a knot. Up is down. Down is up. Close is far. The cars are filled with monsters, the railway stations are less than safe, and the exit is always just a few stops away.
But there is hope. For the first time, the crawlers are all working together. The loot is better than ever. And the secret to unraveling it all may be hidden in the pages of a seemingly-useless book. Welcome, crawlers. Welcome to the fourth floor of the dungeon.

Our take
Carl and Princess Donut face their most dangerous crawl yet in the Over City, a shattered metropolis of undead circuses, cursed magic, and killer fame.

Choose your retailer
About the book
The dungeon has changed. The rules are gone. The apocalypse has gone viral.
In Dungeon Crawler World, Carl and Princess Donut have survived traps, monsters, and madness to reach the next stage. But in the Over City—a ruined metropolis crawling with undead circuses, falling bodies, and cursed magic—the odds of survival drop with every floor.
The world watches as the game spirals into chaos. Fame, fortune, and death blur together while an ancient spell threatens to end everything. Somewhere in the carnage, Carl is still missing his pants.
Matt Dinniman’s Carl’s Doomsday Scenario is a darkly funny, brutal, and wildly inventive LitRPG adventure about friendship, survival, and what it really takes to win when the game never ends.

When his father and brothers are killed, Maia, a half-goblin outcast, inherits an empire he barely knows.
The Goblin Emperor
Fantasy · Coming of Age · Epic Fantasy · Historical Fantasy
Our take
When his father and brothers are killed, Maia, a half-goblin outcast, inherits an empire he barely knows. Alone amid courtiers and conspirators, he must survive deadly intrigue and discover the strength to rule. Katherine Addison’s The Goblin Emperor is a richly imagined fantasy of politics, compassion, and one outsider’s rise to unexpected greatness.
Choose your retailer
About the book
One night, an airship crashes, and an emperor dies. By morning, his exiled half-goblin son sits on the throne of a vast and perilous empire.
Raised far from the court that despised him, Maia has no allies, no training, and no idea whom to trust. Surrounded by schemers who see him as a puppet or a target, he must navigate the glittering dangers of politics, power, and betrayal while learning what it means to rule.
Every smile hides an agenda. Every favor carries a cost. Yet amid the treachery, Maia dares to hope for friendship, justice, and the chance to become more than a figurehead.
Katherine Addison’s The Goblin Emperor is a luminous tale of power, isolation, and the courage to lead with kindness.
