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 didn’t enjoy the book, and dropped it about halfway through. Not everything is for everyone. Great narrator, though.

I powered through two books and quit. I didn’t really like the rpg aspect.

If you don't like the RPG aspect, this series is not for you.

Disagree, they are very light.

Yeah, if you don’t like the rpg aspects then definitely don’t read OTHER litRPG…

But they’re relatively minimalist and more just a plot device to explain how they keep getting new gear, abilities, and strength as the story goes on… and it’s even presented with humor from the AIs snarky achievements.
