No they are on lvl 3 early in book 2.
1st half of the 1st book is basically just a tutorial explaining the rules of the game/dungeon.
The dungeon reminds me a lot of nethack. Starting with a pet cat, scrolls, potions, spellbound, skills, pets. Classes and races are a little different but in nethack you can polymorph yourself into pretty much any monster type.

Ackshually, there is a book with two levels. It's just that the second level is the shortest in the entire history of the Dungeon.
Carl enters level; Carl destroys level; Level done. Next!

I had the same question when I started. I don't think its spoilery to say I just finished book 6. So far 2 books have had 2 levels, the other 4 have had 1. The author has said he plans on 10 books. So either the number of books will change, the floors will start going quicker, or we're not getting to level 18. I have a suspicion that the lowest levels might be bullshit and go quick since (and they tell us this early in book 1) no one has ever gotten to them before and no one knows what's there.

In his defense, people did blame it on carl. But people also think carl jerked off a crab for a quest.

Just finished book 2, how has no one else made a series like this? Shit is brilliant and can’t really ever get boring or fuck up the pacing when you can just make up whatever you want. I am happy to see he has gotten away from saying + actual percentage boosts because that would get out of hand quickly.
I honestly hope this is made into a video game.

There’s an entire genre of video game fantasy books, litrpg. I only tried a couple other series and they weren’t as good as DCC so I stopped trying the genre, but it’s there if you want more that are similar.

I'd like to separate this out into it's own thread to maybe encourage some direction. I basically only listen to audio books (who has time to read?!) these days so that's a thing. I'm mostly looking for some recommendations on what's out there. I like long series, bonus if it's finished or got...
