Another busy week without much reading done. Just my daily chapters of different web novels.

What about all of you? What have you all been reading or listening to lately?

I disagree. It doesn’t feel like DCC but you can see some of the same humor. Especially with the AI. It’s still worth a read and I hope there is more in the future.

    Same humor, same writing style, same tempo, yes it’s not in the same universe and lacking the “RPG” parts, if that’s what you meant. It could almost be one of the levels at this point.

    Maybe we read it differently. I didn’t feel like it was even close. This felt more like medieval uprising to me than alien takeover.

    Medieval? They went to the planet on generational ships to build an instaportal back to earth. The mechs are controlled by fully immersive simulators.

    And in DCC they’re fighting with swords and bows as well as spells, with the tech and aliens. The parallels are there.
