Customer Reviews Summary

This book was first recommended to me by a friend...multiple times...each time it sounded like something I wouldn't enjoy. A book based on a gimmick (litRPG) that's self-published and who seems to be entirely focused on crude humor and pop-culture references...it felt like a rip off of Ready Player One...but set in a horror universe.In the end, I relented and picked up the first novel, and told myself that I would give this book a couple of chapters to humor my friend. By the second chapter, I was hooked, and powered through the entire novel in a couple of days. It's without exaggeration, the best self-published book I have ever read. The writing was solid (if unspectacular), but more importantly it was fun entertaining, and had a lot more heart than I expected. A lot of people love the humor in the book...but to me it was more clever and light than laugh out loud funny.The entire story has personality, and it never takes itself too serious. It helps turns what could be boring information dumps, and depressing moments into a breezy narrative that is both cohesive and compelling...without losing the underlying humanity of the story. The book really shines through its characters...who feel like genuine people who feel like someone who could actually exist out in the world...and who struggle with the reality of their situation as well as doing what they feel they need to do.I really liked how much depth there is to the story from the start...where there's multiple peeks into a greater universe that peaked my interest early on, and kept me wanting to read on and find out more. DCC continually reminded me of Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy...but didn't feel like a rip-off. DCC is very much its own thing, with its own sense of humor...and that's very high praise as far as I'm concerned.If you're looking for something new to read, and you're a fan of sci-fi, fantasy or horror, and like novels with rich and likeable characters, well realized villains and deep lore...you should pick up this book.
