Just started with Book 1. Thoughts so far!

I’m about 70% through and mainly picked up this book from recommendations from the Dungeon Crawler Carl community.

After the introduction of Skippy I now see where the DCC community saw similarities between the two works - it has been complete chaos and a good ride so far.

Two questions for whether I keep on going:

1. Skippy is obviously the ultimate Deus Ex Machina and I kinda enjoy it, but I hope that we see more problems solved in the future because of human initiative and not just because ‘Magic AI can do it’
2. I hope we see more races joining the team. If it’s just humans I think that would be a shame, I enjoyed Joe’s interaction with the Hamsters and hoped to see a Hamster buddy.
3. Similar to the above, but hoping for less and less American Army obsession. I get it, it’s the character but as a Brit I find the constant Hooah’ing annoying.

Fun read so far though! If I enjoy book 2 as well I’ll probably aim to get them all read before April.
