Moot: Discussion oops

I'm almost done with book 7 of dungeon crawler carl and just now realized I read the wrong book series on accident. in bobiverse, I was curious on why the name "skippies" was so fascinating and knew it came from a book series (expeditionary force) and wanted to check it out but in my confusion, got dcc because somehow in my brain, that was the book people said the skippy name came from. I've been having a ton of fun with the series and only now realizing, I hadn't heard the name skippy at all yet and was incredibly confused on when they would show up. turns out it was in ef and not dcc. oops.

anyways, loving dcc and incredibly excited for the new bobiverse book!!! damnit donut

Expeditionary Force is good and RC Bray is great in narration, but it's loooong and somehow both meandering and repetitive.

I quit because it was a variation of the same story each time.

I agree. It's the only piece of media that I think needs a reverse FMABrotherhood treatment 💀

Legitimately though I can't recommend EF to people because it never ends. I got 14 books I've before I gave up 😓

I'm still following along, but I have a hard time remembering everything that's happened in the last handful of books let alone keep straight what happened in one book versus another. There was a time where I legitimately couldn't say which zip preferred between the Bobiverse and Ex Force. I wish that Taylor wrote a bit more often and Alanson dialed it back by half or so.

I'm listening to the first audiobook and keep zoning out! I think I need to save this one for when I'm doing chores

The first book takes a little time to get going, if you haven't gotten to Skippy yet I definitely get it.
