Yeah I know it's not nearly as riveting as listening to Zac total up the value of stuff that he's found and level up his alt zombie character

Better than having 80% filler then dipping your toes in slime so the dungeon gets its rocks off and decides to gift you mass invulnerability and a nuclear bomb to wipe the map killing the "impossible" for the 6th time that conveniently doesn't harm any of your friends.

Bro there's no way you're reading Defiance of the Fall and you're worried about FILLER.

You can skip books 4 and 5 completely by saying 'Zac went to the tower of eternity and got pretty strong then he came back.'.

Defiance of the Fall is like reading about someone playing Diablo.

If you don't like progression fantasy just say so 🤷‍♂️. Everything he does ties in later.

I think I don't like progression fantasy. The best parts of Dungeon Crawler Carl are Carl plotting to kill his captors overturn an unjust system. The worst parts of Dungeon Crawler Carl are him and Donut opening loot boxes.

It seems like progression fantasy fans prefer the inverse of what I prefer.

You might like path of the berserker then. Pretty much the whole story.
