I got this recommended to me after reading book 6 of Dungeon Crawler Carl in an IG ad. Great marketing tactic to draw you in with tag lines like “Mad Max meets Monty Python”. Maybe I didn’t research enough to find out its a series of intertwining short stories, which I don’t mind, but this just didn’t keep my interest peaked. More like if Mad Max was played by Seth Rogan and Monty Python was replaced by the cast of the Big Bang Theory. The “comedy” in it is comparable to watching a popular sitcom like that with a laugh track. Except there is no laugh track, so there is no queue to tell you that a punchline has just been delivered and finished. (Go YouTube a clip of the Big Bang Theory without a laugh track) The PG humor aside, the characters just didn’t grip me in any way to care about them, the plots were thin and the action was minimal. Felt like a waste of time, so I won’t be reading any of the other books in this series.
