Does DCC get better?

So I just finished the first Dungeon Crawler Carl book and while it was pretty good I just don't understand what all the hype is about. I'm pretty sure I'm going to finish the series eventually but I didn't really have a strong desire to keep going to the second book right away like I have with other books like HWFWM or Battlemage Farmer.

The humor was kinda mid, I had a few chuckles but no real good laughs and the action was... Lackin imo.

Do the books get better as you go along or should I just expect more of the same?
