View submission: Do NOT Sleep on Dungeon Crawler Carl
It's because it's a meta deconstruction of the genre. There are a lot of really good straight LitRPG's, however, they all kinda gloss over the real problematic aspects of the formula and how messed up any society that exists in them would be.
DCC leans hard into how messed up the world is, and how being a murderhobo who kills to level up would result in extreme depersonalization and slowly going insane. It's an excellent entry into the genre, but you have to like and know the genre to get the most out of it.

My issue wasn't with any of that or with not "getting it", my issue was with the fact that it was really poorly written.
