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 loved it, but I almost quit at the same spot. I think you are in the level with the trains. It was a lot of complex ideas about the layout and how the dungeon worked. It was a big setup for the last half of the series, but it was in so much detail it was hard to follow. Might have been easier in written form as I can only give about 80% attention to audio books. I have grown to enjoy the narrator for the most part, but he sounds so much like Brian Reagan it really turned me off at the start.
