Race and class
The third-floor choice that can never be unmade. Donut stays a cat and tricks Mordecai into being her manager by picking Former Child Actor; Carl turns down Hobgoblin and Sasquatch for Primal — a blank slate with every skill unlockable to 20 — and Compensated Anarchist. Eighty per cent of crawlers stay human.

Race and class in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario
Three hundred and twenty races for Donut, 398 for Carl, hundreds of classes, and the same lesson twice: the AI's recommendations are good for survival and bad for the show (ch. 1, ch. 2). Donut games hers; Carl takes the long road. The recap shows what others did — Hekla an Amazonian, Lucia Mar a Lajabless, a man a slug, a woman Kali (ch. 7); eighty per cent stay human. Bautista regrets his tiger (ch. 23); Katia's guide should have talked her out of doppelganger (ch. 21).
