[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 9604991, member: 86653"] It’s funny. And it’s a bit of biting satire on occasion. That’s the only point of contact between the two. I’ve read the first and keep inching closer to reading the second but haven’t as yet. It’s LitRPG. So the character is aware he’s in a game and can view his stats, has an inventory that he exploits, and, as the name suggests, it’s a dungeon crawler. The best way I can put it is it’s hilariously violent and violently hilarious. The first one is setup in a chapter then dive into the dungeon. It’s got great characters but it’s all about the action. What little plot there is is about as paper thin as most megadungeons. Clear the room, loot the bodies, kick in the door. Lather, rinse, repeat. There were hints and foreshadowing and a scene or two about a larger plot as the series progresses, but not so much in the first one. If people are looking for dedicated book talk, there’s a series of threads in Geek that’s been going for a few years.
