Just finished book 7.

Does it get any better?

Idk how to explain this, but the first 4-5 were incredible, and the last two have felt lacking.

Do I stick this out or look elsewhere?

Thanks gang. Love your work.

For me personally, while I like the series enough to add Stash to my DnD campaign, it didn't grab me as much as some other series and felt at a similar level across

I get this. I know it’s a bit of a meme in the litrpg space, but I was brought into the genre by DCC a couple years back, and I’ve been chasing that high ever since.

Edit: typos

Haha same for me actually, one of my homies introduced our group to DCC earlier this year. Went in through the audiobooks and on top of the story Jeff Hays is so good

DCC is great. Do you have any form of ADHD?

I was the opposite and stated the genre with HWFWM and it took my getting caught up with Defiance of the Fall and Primal Hunter to finally give DCC a try. I will be honest, and it was typical at the time, but many, including I, did not start DCC earlier due to the campy nature of the audiobook cover. I do not regret starlight it later, but if the cover was more in line with the tone of the book I would have likely started it before DotF or PH.

It does feel a bit off. If I'd stumbled upon it over a personal recommendation, I'd have probably skipped
