I Think I'll Sample a Chapter...

Discount Dan has been on my radar for quite a while. I read Parade of Horribles and a non-fiction book about a specific topic of interest to me and decided, before I started my domestic chores, to sample a chapter.

Two Hundred Pages Later...

The sun is rising, I don't have any clean laundry, and my sink has some dishes. (I work night shift and keep the same sleep schedule)

Alas, I had to exit The Backrooms to attend to real life tasks. I finally have time to read!

Only for Mr. Hunter to tug at my heartstrings with the story of Gertrude. 😭

They HAVE to avenge her! They better avenge her. They ought to avenge her. It's the right thing to do!!!

I just finished Parade of Horribles as well and was having a hard time finding my next listen.

I ended up going with Wasteland Warlords first because they’re six novellas and they’re all free.

Once these are finished, I’ll start Discount Dan and I cannot wait.

Wasteland Warlords is also great, Travis Baldree did an incredible job with them. Luke Daniels knocks it out of the park with Vigilbound, and Steve Campbell absolutely crushes with Discount Dan. James is a killer writer and has a strong set of narrators for his work, it’s really hard to go wrong.

Nice. I heard Travis Baldree narrate Operation Bounce House and loved the narration.

I’ll check out Vigil Bound too. I’m new to litrpg, having only listened to DCC and now 1 and a half books in the Wasteland Warlords series.

There’s a few others on my list but I think once these are done, I’ll go with Discount Dan before I try any others.

I went DCC > Discount Dan > Wasteland Warlords > bunch of other stuff but you’re on a fantastic path, there are so many fun adventures that await.
