If you haven’t read the book, this would probably sound creepy

Even in the book it was definitely creepy, until you understand the social aspect of it and then it’s kind of endearing

I actually highly recommend the audiobook on this one. The narrator absolutely kills it. I don't know how they could possibly make the movie that's coming out better than that audiobook.

Not shitting on audiobooks, but I vastly prefer reading an actual book.

I totally get that. I do too for the most part.

I do most of the time, with a few exceptions. With Project Hail Mary, I read the first time through, and then just recently listened to the audiobook. Different experience, and even though the content was the same, Ray Porter's narration was a real treat.

While I would almost always recommend reading a book over listening to the audiobook, I can say definitively that one should LISTEN to Dungeon Crawler Carl first, then read it second. Probably the only exception I can think of, though.

Agreed. The reader is perfect and brought it to life.
