And just like that…

This is an author's note and dedication rather than a narrative chapter. Matt Dinniman discusses the publication milestones for the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, upcoming adaptations and media projects, and pays tribute to his late dog Freddie.

The author reflects on the significant changes since the last book, noting that Ace/Penguin Random House has published books 1-3 in hardcover with global distribution, and books 4-6 are forthcoming in 2025. He announces several upcoming projects including a Webtoon comic adaptation, a full-cast audio version from Soundbooth Theater for season 2, and mentions a possible film or television adaptation. Dinniman emphasizes the importance of reader reviews for the success of the series and encourages readers to leave honest reviews not just for this book but for all books they read. He concludes with a personal tribute to his Labrador Retriever, Freddie, who passed away during the final stages of writing this book. Freddie served as a constant companion throughout the author's writing process and was present during both the best and most difficult times.
