Enter the dungeon

In March this year, I was watching some random video the YouTube algorithm bubbled up to me, as one does. I am not sure who made it or what it was about anymore, but the guy mentioned reading a book called 'Dungeon Crawler Carl' by Matt Dinniman. This led me to looking it up online and discovering a completely new-to-me genre called "LitRPG", in this case even "science fantasy LitRPG". Yes, you read that right, it is basically the literature version of playing a Role Playing Game. This notion fascinated me and I got my grubby paws on the first installment which I started reading immediately because I was ADHD'ed out of the (great, but lengthy) Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson. Instantly hooked I was. I will not say too much as it is easy to spoil things, but our protagonist finds himself in a fantasy dungeon world after his own world suddenly collapses for a large part and stairs appear leading down into the earth. He has to adjust fast to survive this new environment…
