@massireads: I’m obsessed so far with the #DungeonCrawlerCarl series but the Iron Tangle was a lot. #BookTok #litrpg #audible #audiobook #books

joeshadd610 :

I gave up and trusted Katia to handle it

Chorazin :

The introduction of the book is “please you don’t need to pay attention to, or figure out, the Iron Tangle.” I took his advice and loved the book

James :

You’re not supposed to get it. Matt kinda wants you confused like the crawlers. The reread value is high and the books only get better after three.

The Threadburn Trilogy :

Beau Winston :

open pantry, select spaghetti. cook spaghetti. throw cooked spaghetti on floor. map of iron tangle.

bwilkinsreads 📚 :

The trick is knowing it’s not about the trains

Rebecca Carrier :

Me as I was reading it: “video game logic isn’t even real so I’m ignoring this layout”

cait emerson books 📚🐉 ⚔️ :

I just gaslit myself into thinking I understood it

RD :

there is no diagram, accept that you will never understand that map. even if you were given context and shown a diagram, it's too wibbly wobbly timey whimy.

boundlesssjoy :

Girl I was there!! Even the author said not to get held up on the world building 😆

PokeMamaRue :

The author himself says not to worry about it don’t try to visualize or figure it out

Senkbeil Forge :

the tangled loses me every time. I push through but its hard sometimes. plus I missed mordecai!

jess :

So I saw someone explain it like a plate of noodles and there’s a train on the top and bottom of each noodle and where the noodles touch each other is the platforms

drew :

we don't talk bout the Irontangle

kazoobard :

i thoughtb3 opened with a warning specifically stating "you are NOT meant to follow along. its intentionally obscure to leave you as confused as the crawlers" maybe that was exclusive to the audiobooks. regardless i love that even a book that is literally centered around "being on rails" is as unpredictable and wild as 3 is.

Sam 🌱 Nessy :

No honestly I knew carl would tell us the important bits and just cleared my brain of worry 😀

🍄‍🟫✨Nettie✨🍄‍🟫 :

I just trusted the Katia knew what she was doing. Also KEEP READING YOU NEED TO SHARE IN THE HEARTBREAK AAAAH

CXLDInAnInstant Podcast :

hey, the map doesnt matter, what track we're on doesnt matter, its all vibes in the dungeon✌️

Steve Deez :

I trusted Matt's intro.

Jordan :

I gotchu search "mr bone facts movie theater layout" here on tiktok

DarkTanwin :

I am curious to see this one too

Zandie :

The way that whole book is a filler episode to me.... it just is! I'm struggling to get through it but I know it's worth it!

TheBigGinger87 :

I just finished it today and as far as a map goes, it’s not really something we can comprehend with the info we have. I think the best I could comprehend is it’s more like a football than a flat plane. The tracks are mirrored everywhere the yards are the flat ends

BasicGamerDad09 :

Read/listen twice/three times, it comes together.

Welcome to the group help yourself to coffee and donut
