yea. i pounded through all the books in a couple months. was going through a dark time during a my wife's miscarriage, and i'd just come home and read.

definitely science fantasy, but looking forward to the next book.

Read all 7(?) books this year. Ridiculously addictive because of his ability to add backstory and development outside the dungeon that makes what would otherwise just be a sort halfway fun dungeon grind into something more fun and meaningful.

Hiiii Zev!! Looking forward to the finale coming up, but am worried about timing, feels like Society for the Eradication of Cocker Spaniels is expecting to rush some of the loose ends.

Yes! It’s been such a fun series to read. LitRPG has similar themes of “just keep one-upping until the world starts to fall apart”, but the Carl books keep finding a way to get more absurd and exciting, even so many books in.

I read they were developing a show or movie. I’m cautiously optimistic they could do it justice.

Relistening to the audiobooks before the new one comes out May 12. Have gotten a good number of friends and coworkers into the series. This series kick-started my new book/audiobook hobby.

Yea

Only way to know os to read them

ooh, il check that out. Love me some milSF, with Honor Harrington being a favorite.

Finished the first one. There are moments of good buried in a lot of "merely okayish". It has a little bit of a "Hunger Games" feel to it in that way -- chosen one against the oppressive patriarchy -- but combined with military power armour fan-fiction or something. I stopped after the first book.

But if you want a rec:

Currently reading Embers of War by Powell. It's much better milSF in my opinion. The prologue opens with a war-ending Ender's Game style genocide, told in a few pages. Then it time jobs to post-war peacetime and most of the characters (including the sentient ship) are ex-soldiers coming to terms with it.

hadnt heard of this book. too bad it doesnt sound great, otherwise it would be right up my alley!
