Dakota Krout started writing The Divine Dungeon while drawing on his military background and experience with programming and RPG video games. Dungeon Born (2016) launched the series and became a bestseller, which prompted a second series — The Completionist Chronicles — and then an expanding universe of connected and standalone series. By 2026 he had published over seventy novels.

Audible named him one of their top five fantasy picks in 2017. His work tends toward clean humor, punny titles, and systems-focused world-building where the rules of the game world matter and characters advance through them in satisfying ways. The Divine Dungeon universe has expanded considerably through the Artorian’s Archives spin-off (19 books), the Lion’s Lineage sub-series, and the Wolfman Warlock audiobook edition of the Completionist Chronicles.
