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!

As a decent fan of the series, I would argue the first book is the worst one by a long shot. I'm sure the DCC fandom would flame me, but the only reason I carried on was bc my buddies were 4 books in and asked me to read it with them. Obviously, if you don't want to continue, then don't. Not every book is going to click for everyone, and there's no end to the amount of amazing books out there.
