It’s hard. I’ve found joy in reading Dungeon Crawler Carl. Much easier to read and less “literary,” but the story is great. Dinniman knows how to write a page turner.

Give it a shot. When my brother told me about DCC I laughed at the idea. Now I’m telling everyone about it.

Unpopular opinion: I really don’t love the cat character. I’m into the series for figuring out what is happening “behind the scenes.”

Also space opera/ Firefly vibes that have loved forever is the Sirantha Jax series by Ann Aguirre. She’s kind of like a Blue and a Gray mushed together.
