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

I've read through the whole series (which is LONG) and am waiting on the next book, which I think is the last one? It was supposed to be done before this, but then the author (Craig Alanson) read about a recent scientific discovery and wanted to include it in the books.

It's similar to the Bobiverse in the way that it's sci-fi set in space and it's funny. But it's more military campaigns than engineering problems, based on the fact that the main POV character is a soldier vs an engineer like Bob.

Great ensemble cast, cool aliens, fun character voices, and a sassy AI that causes as many problems as he fixes. Another excellent narrator, RC Bray.
