Feeling like a genius for looking up Dungeon Crawler Carl images so I can learn I will hate hate hate every moment of this and not waste any money checking it out lol oh so it's just Ready Player One but if Ernest Cline listened to less dadrock and played Portal and Borderlands gotcha

It gets better as the series goes on, but I get why people are turned off by the style of writing. And I hate Ready Player One. This somehow worked for me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Same! It's so funny any time I recommend these books it's always with warnings like okay the first one is the worst by a LOT. And I swear they are going interesting places with these concepts! I would never just recommend it blind 😭

The thing is that like, I didn't cherry pick these images at all, looking for the worst ones, these are just the ones that came up. (I actually curated one that was WORSE and the comments were like "way to show the WORST part" lol) www.reddit.com/r/litrpg/com...

The gonorrhea one is actually from what many fans consider the best book in the series. lol everyone has their own tastes, it's fine. I more cringe at the RPO comparison even though I get how it looks from the outside. Within the narrative Carl rolls his eyes at the names and descriptions of items.

acknowledging your jokes are bad/eyerolly doesn't make them good...? and I know I'm on the outside looking in here, but it seems like the books go back to that well over and over again, does the joke evolve or build?
