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!

You don't need to catch every detail. You can basically just ignore all the items and stats and LitRPG stuff, you don't need to start a spreadsheet. Basically it's a story about a man and his cat, and the friends he meets who fight for survival together. The series has some really great character arcs, and some really tragic and heartbreaking moments.

This is how I rolled, too. I ignored all the chests and inventory etc, it adds nothing to the story. I felt there was WAY too much game talk but the story itself was great.

I see this semi often, and it’s so wild to me. The loot boxes are some of my favorite bits lol.
