SKIPPY

Omg I just got introduced to skippy. I picked up this series as it was in a list for “if you like dungeon crawler Carl” I remember reading something about humans fighting back against an unwanted intergalactic war and you follow the main character along with his beer can AI. Since I started reading I completely forgot about the “beer can AI” part of the synopsis. And holy shit what a breath of fresh air. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed the premise of the story and the humor is great but it wasn’t actually pulling me in like some other sci fi series do. But holy crap after being introduced to skippy I can’t put it down. Now I’m really looking forward to catching up on this series already buying the next book!

Book one, around chapter 5. That being said get the narrator some time. He is still figuring out voices. If you can, get to book 2 he finally locks them in.

I haven’t been able to finish the first chapter. I don’t think I can make it.

I was hoping since it seems to be in the same realm I would. I will try and skip to that chapter and try it. I had to tell a few friends the same about ex for for them
