I’m finishing the 3rd book at the request of a friend and … I’m finding it unfunny at best. They’re were some interesting moments with Donuts but I feel they are becoming spare.

Most monsters are only a derivative name on a 2-3years old meme and I don’t feel no struggle inside Carl

Out of convenience I choose to listen to it and it’s maybe why I find this really dull but comparing it with something like Dungeon and Daddies and D&D it’s much more imaginative

    It’s always funny seeing people outside the usual LitRPG/Progression Fantasy crowd reading the book, because that’s very much who it was written for.

    The jokes are dumb, sure, but they’re pretty similar to the kind of humor you see throughout LitRPG. I was actually subscribed to his Patreon for most of the series’ development, which is probably part of the reason I never ended up finishing it, I was reading it in bits and pieces for too long.

    That said, there are much better series out there, including some that are actually complete. If you’re interested in the genre, I’d especially recommend some of the original Russian LitRPG, like The Way of the Shaman series by Vasily Mahanenko.
