Censored LitRPG

Idea brainstormed with Claude AI

Inspired by the gratuitous vulgarity of the Dungeon Crawler Carl Series

  • Premise: protagonist misses footing on stairs, falls into a dungeon, where the narrator/System bleeps his swears
  • Sequel joke if wildly successful: escalator malfunction
  • Themes
    • US media double standard: graphic violence allowed, swearing/sex censored
    • Inspired by frustration with Dungeon Crawler Carl’s vulgarity + Chinese “grass mud horse” homophone censorship evasion
  • Format: standalone/finite book (true standalones are rare in LitRPG)
  • Publishing: considering Royal Road for feedback, cross-post to own site; buffer-write chapters ahead rather than writing live
