About:
The Gate of the Feral Gods by Matt Dinniman is the fourth installment in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. In this book, Carl and his cat companion, Princess Donut, navigate the challenges of the fifth floor of a sprawling dungeon. They find themselves separated from their allies, facing unique dangers in individual biome-themed areas, and must rely on new allies to succeed. The plot features intense action, humor, and moments of heartfelt connection, as Carl's struggle against the oppressive forces controlling the dungeon evolves.
Dinniman's writing style strikes a balance between entertaining and thought-provoking. He expertly weaves intricate plots with humor and character development, making each installment feel fresh and engaging. The characters' interactions and the absurd situations they find themselves in keep the pacing lively. While some readers note the complexity can occasionally muddle the story, the humor, emotional depth, and creative storytelling ensure it remains an enjoyable ride. The narrative's nuances reflect both the absurdity of a LitRPG world and the harsher realities the characters face, making for a compelling read.

From The Publisher:
New Achievement! Total, Utter Failure.
You failed a quest less than five minutes after you received it. Now that's talent.
A floating fortress occupied by warrior gnomes. A castle made of sand. A derelict submarine guarded by malfunctioning machines. A haunted crypt surrounded by lethal traps.
It was supposed to be easy. One bubble. Four castles. Fifteen days. Capture each one, and the stairwell is unlocked.
Here's the thing. It's never easy. Carl and his team can't go it alone. Not this time. They must rely on the help of the low-level, I-can't-believe-these-idiots-are-still-alive crawlers trapped in the bubble with them. But can they be trusted?
Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the fifth floor of the dungeon.

You will not break me!
Another fun floor of the dungeon! Starting to fight back more, and I love the anarchist angle and the look he's building.
“Whatever physics engine was running this shitshow, it was designed to allow us to do the impossible. It didn't want us dying from stupid environmental hazards, unless it was a deliberately placed trap or mob. Dying from the bends wasn't nearly as entertaining as watching us get eaten by a shark.”
Incredible continuation of the series. SO many adventures and clever problem solving!! Loved it.
