The nature of humanity is such that every so often someone reinvents Homestuck

i just view this series as a necessary stop gap to get adults who’s fiction consumption began and ended at Harry potter to finally read another fuckin book.

It's the most "I can haz cheeseburger" shit I've seen since the 2010s. I do not understand why it took off the way it did.

I thought the first book was entertaining enough, but book 2 was completely incomprehensible to me. extremely quick paced game play description of monsters idk and it just did not make sense

the ppl trying to sell me on it with the political themes are what really get me. im not saying peoples introduction to anticapitalism needs to be the communist manifesto but i really doubt this book is radicalizing anyone the same way

If I have to read over 1500 pages just to see some redeeming qualities then it's just not my thing 😅

I work in a bookstore. These are just the male equivalent of those terrible romantasy books. But overall, I’m so glad to see people excited about reading again.

I didn’t like Ready Player One and this feels spiritually similar

I love progression fantasy/ litrpg, but Dungeon Crawler Carl is so cringe that I can’t even imagine finishing the first book. It’s such millennial slop humor.

I honestly think its just becoming too cool to hate on shit for it becoming popular. Is it ultra prestigious lit fic? No. But its getting people to read something so I'll take it. Let people enjoy things, most of the opinions I see online have not consumed the content, do not have legitimate criticism, and just hitch themselves to the hate train.

I really really hate that people are saying they don’t like it and some people are piping up going “well it’s supposed to make you uncomfortable when this happens!” I don’t care I didn’t like it. I don’t feel it was done well 💀

I called the first book “mediocre with no plot” and the fans acted like I broke into their house and murdered their dog in front of them.

I saw people say that series is the equivalent of ACOTAR for boys and that was enough to make me not want to read it- booktok always recommends actual dog water books

It’s so disheartening to constantly see people presenting themselves with superiority complexes by making fun of others for what they enjoy reading. Not just for this series but any series/genres that are popular and easily digestible. Can we all just leave it at sharing things we enjoy or discussing why we didn’t like something. Not putting others down for liking something you didn’t.

Oh thank god. I thought I was losing my mind after I read the first book and thought “THIS is what they’ve all been talking about?”

Everything I’ve heard about this series just sounds like any generic isekai I’ve seen on Crunchyroll for the past 6 years

no one knows how to recommend these books. I had so many people talking them up in ways that made them sound absolutely awful. I eventually listened to the first one on audiobook, liked it well enough to give it one more book, and then I was hooked. but yeah, it's really hard to explain the appeal without making these sound like literally the worst books ever
