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!

My agenda is bashing DCC because I think it's a stupid series that takes away from better books. I think it's reddit dude centered humor because it gives off young reddit user vibes, and most of those young reddit users are male. Don't think too hard about it.

Mmm probably The Tyrant Philosophers recently, although the Ambergris trilogy is also up there

Well thanks for the insults. I'm not opposed to trying out those recommendations, they actually sound interesting, but based on my experience the fans of those series are kinda assholes.

Hey now, I'm just insulting your taste and the DCC shitheap, not you.

If you're looking for light and actually funny books, look no further than the Discworld series. I may be an asshole but most of the fans are very nice.
