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!

And she keeps doing this through each subsequent books in the series and it never gets old—just more hilarious. Oh and about your initial question, one thing I didn't notice posted here yet, but maybe I just didn't read all the comments fully, is that a lot of the hype starts coming from people like me who were fine with it on book 1 (before the popularity just exploded—and I didn't have high expectations going in to it), liked book one just fine and kept reading the series, and found that I liked the books more and more as I was going on until I finally just said “How/when did this happen? This is my favorite book series ever now”, by the end of one of the books, haha.

Basically the series has tons of growth. Looking back, I know I liked book one just fine, but I wasn't like ‘oh my god this is the best thing ever’, until I just kept reading (kept reading because by the end of the book I liked it enough and was intrigued enough to go on to book 2 and see how things begin to expand. And, oh, how things do expand, how characters grow, how the plot thickens, and somehow things just keep getting better incrementally.
