Why Dungeon Crawler Carl Deserves the Hype
from The Alchemist's Inkwell Hosted by The Alchemist's Inkwell
Dungeon Crawler Carl has officially taken over our lives—but does the series genuinely deserve all the hype? We discuss the characters we are terrified to lose, its surprisingly thoughtful commentary on misogyny and oppressive systems, and why rereading a familiar story can become an emotional life raft when everything else feels chaotic. We also talk about The Song of Achilles, The Spellshop, Heaven Official’s Blessing, Suffs, Korea’s Battle of Fates, trusting your intuition, Reykjavik, Tokyo, and an upcoming magical trip to Scotland.
