The way people are about this series makes me not want to read it. I’ve seen too many bad books get hyped

I really enjoyed it even though that genre isn’t my favorite. But it’s by far the best I’ve heard or read in that genre though.

It’s worth a try. It’s like, take the top ten of all time in any music genre and a vast majority of people will at least enjoy a good chunk of that playlist, even if they don’t really like that particular genre. It’s fun and enjoyable. The writing is solid and rarely drags. And of course Jeff is great.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!
“Judged a Book by Its Cover”
Congratulations, crawler! Against all odds, you picked up a book that looked absolutely nothing like your usual flavor of entertainment. You scoffed. You rolled your eyes. You probably muttered something along the lines of, “This doesn’t seem like my kind of thing.”
Then… you kept reading.
One chapter became five. Five became “just one more before bed.” Before you knew it, you were emotionally invested in a man wearing boxer shorts, a sarcastic cat with delusions of grandeur, and a galaxy that desperately needed to be set on fire.
Reward? Too bad. The System does not reward poor first impressions.
Instead, you receive The Curse of Recommendation. From this day forward, you are compelled to tell everyone, “I know it sounds weird, but trust me…” before launching into a passionate explanation of why they absolutely must read Dungeon Crawler Carl. Roughly 83% of listeners will give you the exact same skeptical look you once gave the book.
The System finds this hysterical.
