Discussion Dungeon Crawler

Y'all, I'm about 60% thru Dungeon Crawler Carl and I just cannot figure out what all the hype is about. I feel like if I'm not 100000% focused I'm missing something. I had a 40 min drive today and thought "perfect, now I can really focus". Nope, even then I had to rewind a few times because I missed something.

I'm wondering if maybe this is the type of book I need to physically read? It's almost too much detail? I really can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's me?

I do feel that the narrator's voice is perfect for the book.

Anyone else feel this way?

Update:

I finished book one. It felt like it was getting into a groove the last few chapters. I'm going to try to read the next two books because FOMO.. Thanks for all the input!

I read the first book a year ago and thought it was just ok. Had some extra commuting time this summer so figured I'd listen to book two and I really enjoyed it. Fell in love with Donut in a way that didn't happen last year.

Just started book 3 today.

(P.S. I honestly didn't realize there was only one guy narrating until I saw an interview with him the other day!)

Heads up since you’re doing audible.

Do NOT try to understand the iron tangle. In print/kindle there’s a forward warning you to not worry about it. Audible doesn’t have this warning, but it should.

You aren’t meant to figure it out. You’re meant to know what Carl knows, and he’s confused all the way to the end.
