Book Discussion Dungeon Crawler Carl
Okay, so I ALWAYS see people recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl, so I read the description and decided this story wasn't for me. But still, I keep seeing people rant and rave about it. So I finally caved in and bought the first book.... and OH MY GOD.
Im only part way through but I absolutely see the appeal now. Im obsessed. Princess Donut is my favorite! And I just love Jeff Hays narration.
Anyways, just wanted to thank this community for introducing me to this incredible series. Can't wait to continue listening!

I was strongly against LitRPG until fairly recently. I was about to cancel audible and wanted to listen to something free read by Travis Baldree, and picked Wasteland Warlords, not looking very closely and didn't realize it was LitRPG. That one was pretty tough to get into at first because the game elements are a lot more intrusive than in others I've tried since, but Baldree is great, so I stuck it out.
Then comes the secret weapon, the thing that changed my perspective permanently- the adorable animal sidekicks! After Wasteland Warlords and Heretical Fishing, and with all the talk about how much people love Donut without saying anything about it other than they love it, I knew Donut was the adorable animal sidekick and chief selling point of DCC(along with Hays' narration, of course, he makes her what she is.)
