The Butcher's Masquerade
Author: Matt Dinniman
First published: 2022 (self-published; Ace reissue 2024)
Series: Dungeon Crawler Carl, book 5 of 8 (a ninth to come) — the series as a whole is read one level up.
Working edition: DRM-free EPUB (a Calibre conversion of the self-published edition), extracted to plain text by ..txt, ~224,000 words). No page coordinates; cite by chapter.
A paragraph set entirely in bold in the source is a System message — a notification, infobox or achievement — and is marked with a leading » in the plain text so the dungeon's own voice can be told apart from Carl's. There are 1,492 of them in this book.

Seventy-seven numbered chapters plus an epilogue, in four named Parts — the sixth floor (the Hunting Grounds) through chapter 77, with the epilogue on the seventh (the Great Race). Seventy-seven typographic scene breaks. A full-page illustration between chapters 64 and 65 is skipped by the extractor.
