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

    That’s ok.

    The red neck goblin in the first book are a fucking awful meme/joke. The books are made for an « in group » like BBT was that’s where I came with the comparaison

    I feel that the writing is circular (and so far) the 3 books are written in the same way with beats I find really predictable… like BBT

    But I’m happy to disagree and being called out if I’m hurtful

      The content of the books still is what it is, but at least it’s somewhat self aware about this dynamic since

      spoiler

      the personality and memories of dungeon NPCs are canonically calibrated with lowest common denominator mass media appeal in mind
