View submission: Do NOT Sleep on Dungeon Crawler Carl
This book is always mentioned in the audiobook and book suggestion subreddits.
Unpopular opinion but I did not enjoy the story. The audiobook was very well done and I would give it 5 stars. But the story gets a 1 star from me.

Yeah I was confused cuz it gets mentioned on the subs you mentioned and also the fantasy sub multiple times a week it seems. And the first comment is ALWAYS “Make sure to check out the audiobook too!”
I really wanted to like it and I gave it a fair shot but the humor was just too cringe for my taste. I’m happy other people like it though, I think that an indie/self published series becoming a huge hit is a very positive thing for the industry as a whole.

Another unpopular opinion. I so wanted to like this. I enjoyed the premise, princess Donut, & the world, but the world building- the descriptions of the game, loot boxes etc- bored the shit out of me. I gave up around page 300.

My unpopular opinion: the audiobook narration was grating af. The Kronk/Patrick Warburton schtick was cute for a few min but grew old quickly for me.

Yeah, it's too bleak for me. Yeah, it portrays itself as a goofy progression fantasy but all the aliens are gross pieces of shit and the fact that this show is even a thing is despicable and I'm sure Carl and Donut will save the galaxy in the end but I don't want to have to read any more of those talk show segments or the quest lines.
