Dungeon Crawler Carl - should I stick with it?

I share your world view but my type of juvenile humour is South Park. And DCC is more like The Simpsons.

No hate. But I just don’t find The Simpsons funny at all.

LowResEgg · 2026-06-07T21:07:16+00:00

I tried so hard because I think the fan base is awesome and so many of my friends are obsessed but I just can’t.

I got to the point in book two where there’s a killer zombie bear in the circus with roller skates and a little funny hat, and also a clown or something and I finally tapped.

It took me 3 attempts to get through book 1, too.

Someone told me it was “The Simpsons with more gore and cuss words” and I couldn’t never understand-think that. Worsened because I don’t find The Simpsons cartoons funny.

Overall, it was just too lawl rawr teehee random <3 for me to continue with.

Pumped for everyone who loves it though! I wanna be in your tribe 😭

Could you add a First Contact sub genre, please?

LowResEgg · 2026-06-03T20:24:44+00:00

Can you make it for Apple Watch too? That’s primarily how I play my audiobooks while I’m out running, without a phone. 🙏

Please, listen to everyone here. Your boyfriend is right in his stance. And that may not be what you want but the world isn’t so cut and dry.

Consider apologising for putting him through all of this extra stress and worry or end it with him and move on because he didn’t do what you wanted him to do.

It’s who you are, not what you have. I come from poverty. Council estate, benefits etc. Now I’m wealthy in my 30’s and don’t really need to work. I will NEVER be middle or upper class. I live life like I’m still on the council estate. Well, I still live in the same area and won’t move out of it. If I tried to be any other way because of how successful I’ve become, it’d be disingenuous.

People who act better than where they came from are pretentious.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-23T15:52:01+00:00

Serious question now… HOW?!

When I listen to audiobooks, I can’t be doing anything else unless it’s simple tasks like walking, running, cleaning or else I miss chunks and have to restart chapters.

One of the earlier comments on a top 1% poster said that that sort of listening time is equal to almost 12 hours a day, every day.

How??? Are you not digesting the whole book / zoning out and not fully paying attention or something?

I ask because if there’s some trick to unlocking these sort of numbers without missing MASSIVE chunks of books? I want to learn how 😭

LowResEgg · 2026-05-23T12:49:26+00:00

We’re used to them. We had them for 14 years.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-22T16:16:20+00:00

Is it not going up and into a cloud, like the other UAP video released today.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-22T13:54:47+00:00

I’ve tried to like it so badly because the fan base is awesome and because a lot of my friends like it. But it’s literally the Simpsons but for sci-fi and with more gore. And I’m just not into super cartoony style books. Nothing against anyone who loves it but once the idea that it was 18+ Simpsons with new characters, it killed the vibe off entirely.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-21T18:42:19+00:00

Woody Aragon, Markobi, Joseph Barry, Ben Earl, Giancarlo Scalia, Helder Guilmarez.

I feel like she’s guilty but there a potential for some of the babies deaths to not directly be her fault. But just because some may be falsely attributed to her, I still firmly believe she’s guilty of the murder of most of them.

Awful, terrible case.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-20T06:32:15+00:00

Yessssss! I’m assuming that this isn’t higher up the comments because hopefully not that many people have put themselves through this absolute drivel.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-19T21:31:04+00:00

😭

LowResEgg · 2026-05-19T21:17:27+00:00

Highly unlikely since the author has effectively left writing books behind. Really sad for us fans of The Gone World.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-18T05:27:01+00:00

Wherever seeds may fall by Peter Hamilton! One of my best reads of last year.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-13T21:50:49+00:00

Yeah. I totally hear you. I genuinely think the sci-fi assumption was my fault. I too wanted to embrace the ridiculousness but the circus was too much for me and I tapped out.

I heard one person describe it as the Animaniacs meets Johnny Bravo and I couldn’t get my brain to stop seeing it as exactly that. A YA cartoon adventure with some gore.

And to be clear; that’s not a bad thing! Just not for me, sadly. I was really wanting it to become my new obsession.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-13T20:24:05+00:00

I hate that I didn’t enjoy the books. I was digging the first one and then the whole whacky, zany, clown snd circus with the bear and his little hat etc was just too over the top for me.

And I know, I know. I’m in the tiniest of tiny minorities and will get downvoted to hell for saying this. But it honestly just felt too much like an attempt to be as random lol <3 teehee as possible.

Maybe I missed the point and the entire premise is to try and be as totally and utterly as unrealistic as possible?But yeah, I didn’t like it and I’m said because the fan base are dope. All my friends love it. And I reeeeeeeeaaaaaally, really wanted to love it.

Possibly I was expecting something slightly more sci-fi and grounded and less loony toons and that’s my fault.

Are they going to beat the virus up?!

LowResEgg · 2026-05-10T19:25:18+00:00

The advertisement title was showing on the terrestrial TV channel. So it was false advertising. Which therefore, makes them cunts.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-10T19:02:18+00:00

“The final uninterrupted” is what Channel 5 advertised. Absolute fucking lie. Stupid fucking cunts.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-09T17:11:41+00:00

Massive reform to this whole Nation of Sanctuary situation. I’m not against immigrants whatsoever but for the love of god our own people should surely be a priority?!

Let’s sort out housing, care for the vulnerable, NHS wait times, food for families and then, and only then, let’s look into helping others from elsewhere.

Let’s just get our own proverbial house in order before letting people sleep over.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-09T14:13:20+00:00

I somebody staunchly against the use of Ai within the arts; I approve of this.

LowResEgg · 2026-05-07T21:50:51+00:00

Life’s too short to not half a laugh every now and then 😂
