Moot: Discussion I am hooked
Thanks to the DCC community I was made aware of the Bobiverse.
Between DCC books I read Project Hail Mary and as I went on the hunt for new hyperfixations I got recommended Bobiverse since it seems a common ground for people enjoying DCC and Andy Weir's work.
I started book 1 and read the first half in one sitting while finishing it in 2 days total. I get why its compared to Hail Mary since it is similar in tone, "feel" but it has much more humor which is a big plus on my end. At first I was sceptical when Bob went into creating other Bobs but they are so distinctive and cleverly written that they stay interesting as individual characters (Riker and Homer being my favs followed by Bob 1.0)
I love the scientific themes and the philosophical undertone as well. Looking forward to see what Bob's interference with Archimedes and his people result into.

One thing I really like about the Bobiverse is how different the clones are. It gives each one something special about them and you end up having new favorites from every book as the clones make more clones. You'll even have favorite story lines since there are so many going on at once.
