Dungeon Crawler Carl to End With Books 9 and 10, Dinniman Confirms
Author Matt Dinniman says the finale is written as one story split across two volumes, with a cliffhanger closing Book 9.
Matt Dinniman has confirmed that the Dungeon Crawler Carl saga will conclude with two final volumes, Book 9 and Book 10. He said the ending is being written as a single story that is split into two books, with a cliffhanger ending Book 9 that leads directly into Book 10.
Dinniman described the final book as easily the most difficult thing he has ever written. He discussed the series at New York Comic Con alongside audiobook narrator Jeff Hays in an interview with Collider's Maggie Lovitt, according to Collider.
Several plotlines remain unresolved heading into the finale, including Samantha's past, Scolopendra's transformation into a level one crawler, and the true purpose behind Dungeon Crawler World: Earth.
After Book 8, A Parade of Horribles, the series entered its endgame. The story follows Carl, a coast guard vet, and Princess Donut, a talking show cat, as they climb an alien-constructed dungeon made from the remnants of their planet.
