I started off the week with an Outlanders book (I think it was number 5)
Since then I have been binging on Dungeon Crawler Carl. After hearing people constantly mention it and good things being said I thought i would give it a try and I am loving it. I am already half way through the third book.
It reminds me of a mix of Solo Levelling with Buy Mort. It is very similar to Buy Mort in how it is presented, written and the humour behind everything. So to anyone who loves a bit of Dungeon Crawler Carl, I would highly highly recommend giving The Shopocalypse Saga: Buy Mort books a go, I think you'd love them as well!
Similar. Picked up 'Carl' at the library and killed it in two days. Have Book #2 on hold.
Will check Shopocalypse, thank you for the suggestion.
Have you ever tried "Red Harvest" by Dashiell Hammett?
No worries, I hear Carl mentioned a lot but no one has ever spoken about Buy Mort and it is done in such a similar vein that I think people would really enjoy it!
Never heard of Red Harvest but will check it out for sure, thanks!
If the plot of 'Red Harvest' seems familiar it's because that book is the original; all the versions you've seen ripped it off.
