Dungeon Crawler Carl series [Schedule] The Eye of the Bedlam Bride by Matt Dinniman | Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 6
Fellow crawlers, grab your loot, trust no system messages, and remember they will not break us!
The dungeon doors are opening again, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. I, u/joinedformyhubs and u/NightAngelRogue will continue to be your guides through the crazy events of the Eighth Floor of the World Dungeon. Carl, Princess Donut, and Mongo, along with their ever growing roster of friendly allies, navigate this new set of challenges.
As can be expected, there will be absurdity layered over brutality, laugh-out-loud moments sitting right next to genuine emotional weight, and a relentless skewering of corporate greed, spectacle culture, and power systems. This book will never de-escalate, as it will only get bigger, stranger, and more unhinged after each page.

- Week 1: 2/22 - Beginning through Chapter 11
- Week 2: 3/1 - Chapter 12 through Chapter 21

A pantheon of forgotten gods. An old grudge between a talk show host, an heiress, and the man they shattered along the way. A rapidly deteriorating AI system. An inconvenient tiara upon the head of a friend.
It is bedlam on the eighth floor.
On this floor, the crawlers are given a new task: find and capture six monsters. The captured monsters will be turned into cards. The stronger, the deadlier, the better.
At the end of the floor, the bad guys will also have decks, and they will have some of the most powerful cards available. So it's crucial to assemble the toughest squad possible. But, like always, there is a catch. There's always a catch.
As Carl and Donut know all too well, just because someone is captured, it doesn't mean they have been tamed.
Her name is Shi Maria. She's easily the most powerful monster in their area. If they want to survive, they must capture her. They call her the Bedlam Bride.
“Beware, beware. Beware the Eye of the Bedlam Bride”
