What people on Hacker News said
This is one of the funniest and most beautiful books I have ever read. The satire is biting, and I love the characters from the bottom of my heart.
And this book isn’t all laughter; the characters often moved me to tears as they try to hold on to their humanity in the face of utter inhumanity and insanity.
At first I found the concept of the series so outlandish that I really couldn’t imagine what to expect, but it turned out that the series is incredibly complex and has a lot of interesting twists and character development.
and if you want some real escapist but thoroughly fun pulpy hilarity: Dungeon Crawler Carl
Dungeon Crawler Carl has been on my TBR for some time. But your review saying it’s like Always Sunny made me want to read that next. I love the dark humour in that series.
