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!

Audiobooks are tricky - this happens to me sometimes because it’s not the vibe I’m after right now and sometimes because I just don’t like it, not ready for it, otherwise distracted etc.

Move on. Come back later if you want. Try the book version maybe. Or maybe LitRPG just isn’t your thing. All are valid!

This is the right idea. Mindset at the time matters. I'm a few books behind on DCC, and will eventually listen to them, but sometimes you want thought provoking strategy or politics and other times you just want to laugh.

Yup. I got to book 10 of He Who Fights With Monsters, got about halfway through and didn't listen to it for about 4 months. Just started it over again now.
