Picked this up based on how much I enjoyed Ryan Rimmel’s “Mayor of Noobtown”. But I’m about an hour in, and still can’t get to the story for all of the lore dumps and status checks the authors have tried to shove into this audiobook. The final straw came when they forced the narrator to read a full minute’s worth of status and skill checks complete with HP regen formulas and multiplier nuances TWICE in a 5 minute span. This crab has been sapient for a span of mere days, and he is supposedly delving into exactly how his Strength and Vitality interplay to his max HP value?
I really wanted to join Ryan and Boe for a fun dungeon romp with a sapient crab, but I’m giving this series a hard pass for lack of focus on the story.
