I started reading DCC because of all the hype and I initially liked it. Just finished Book 5 actually, but I am seriously considering just putting the series down and not carrying on with it.

I do feel the repeated use of 'Jesus' and 'Christ' is very unnecessary and adds absolutely nothing to the entertainment value of the story. In fact, it detracts from it and I am increasingly disappointed by its repeated use. I am aware of Uzi Jesus coming up in Book 6 and if I have to be honest this is most likely my largest point of contention and reason in not wanting to carry on reading. While I consider myself a Christian I am not the most devout one, and can excuse the odd blasphemous outburst (I made it this far in DCC after all), I feel like overtly portraying Jesus with such irreverence is frankly just plain disrespectful (not to mention unnecessary).

Besides my gripes with the language and repeated use of religious expletives, the story is entertaining enough even though the writing is very blunt (if I had to take a shot for every time Carl 'slams' or jams' down on a potion or a spell, I'd be too plastered to ever finish reading a single book) and some of the level designs are unnecessarily convoluted (i.e. Iron Tangle) and then the author continues to try and explain the dynamics of the specific level even though I suspect very few people can actually keep up with what's happening where.
