I'm halfway through the first book now, so I'm staying far away from comments here. But read an opinion somewhere on Lemmy a week ago that said it is the book version of The Big Bang Theory, making me a bit worried it is just initially well hidden crap, but I am giving it the benefit of the doubt and keeping on reading. Loving it so far! My only annoyance so far is Liberian measurements over earth standard, but it's a minor one.

    I've read or listened to DCC multiple times now. I think it's probably the opposite of how you described TBBT, on the surface DCC is crude and absurd, but underneath is a gem.

    That was a stupid comparison. That OP didn't watch Big Bang Theory in the first place to know that it appealed to a completely different sort of person than DCC.

    If anything, DCC is like Ready Player One if it was not written by a complete and utter cringelord neckbeard in love with 80s media, and actually had some real things to say about sociopolitics.
