Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman

4.0

I picked this up on a whim, then started with much trepidation after someone I typically align with really disliked it. But maybe I went in with more accurate expectations? 

I mostly enjoyed this, and while I wish there weren't SO many books in this series, I do think I'll chip away at it. 

The premise is cool, and honestly, I'm here for Princess Donut. It's not a deep thinking read and the humor is really on par with online video game spaces. I'm really hoping book 2 gives more plot and less "action, action, action" but I'm rambling a bit because it wasn't bad and I had a good time. 

HOWEVER - some of the content will seem questionable at best if you miss one teeny tiny paragraph. It states that "the game" takes stereotypes from Earth and then caricatureizes them further. This is probably a questionable judgement on the author's part, but I don't think the intent is malicious. At least, I really hope not.
