>‘Dungeon Crawler Carl’ TV Series Based On Books Ordered By Peacock From Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door

Hilarious how out of touch Hollywood is to think this will sell.

A "bestseller" means nothing when the population no longer reads, this is niche, and the niche is unbearble Reddit pedophiles.

What kind of faggot would read a book about a numale beta bitch going on a DnD adventure with his ex-girlfriend's cat? Oh, and he's a military ZOGbot so you know he can like fight and stuff! Fuck off, loser. This shit sucks. Deadpool tier trash for Reddit scum.

>I'm going to convert conservatives with this gay positive masculinity book about a cuckolded zogbot going on adventures with his ex-girlfriend's cat and not being bitter about it while he fights toxic incels
The only thing he has actually succeeded at is grifting Hollywood morons into giving him a fat check. This success will be a monkey's paw, though, as the increase in eyes on his work will lead to him facing real criticism for the first time in his life and he's going to crash out and kill the small the audience he currently has by making them realize how lame they all are.

Niche self-hating nerd shit like this can only thrive in the dark and the damp, like mold. Expose it to the sunlight and it will wither up and die. It's just genuinely fucking repulsive trash.

the easiest way to have a bestseller is to have financial backers who buy/distribute it at publishing houses

>>221238087
Let me spell it out to you in clear detail since you are illiterate. 99% of American men do not read books, and of the 1% that does, 99% of that 1% reads old books that are a hundred years old or more. They don't read the crap you see on Amazon or at the front of a Barnes a Noble. So when Hollywood picks up the latest piece of shit Reddit novel like Ready Player One or this new crap, they are investing in something which is popular with maladjusted freaks who have terrible faggot taste. The "straight males" who are fans of Du geon Crawler Carl are faggier than any tranny.

Imagine an entire book of the pegging scene from Deadpool, that's what Dungeon Crawler Carl is. Very much will enjoy this crap flopping.
>>
>>221236211
hope to god it crash and burns so hard nobody will ever want to adapt another litrpg.

>>221237497
Lmao is that you Matt? Sounds like some quippy retardation hed write.
>>
>>221238367
Wtf is a litrpg? I hear redditors use that term all the time, but what does it mean? This is different than a regular fantasy novel? Is it like Western Isekai with the gay video game numbers and, "He has over one thousand health points and his attack is 378!" Number nonsense which makes no sense and breaks all immersion?

Imagine if Frodo was like, "Gandalf can't beat the Balrog, he only has 999 health points while the Balrog's blade does 2000 damage points!"
>>
>>221238471
literature that contains elements of a role playing game.
The characters have stats, levels, skill trees, loot, classes, etc.
>>
>>221236211
This was my first foray into lit-rpg and it was my last. It's like someone watched Sword Art Online then decided to make it for western audiences. I wouldn't expect the live-action movie to go beyond the third book, let alone the 2nd but holy shit have I started seeing so much astroturfing for this series. "Haha, Mongo is appalled!" or "God damn it, Donut!" is everywhere and it's fucking cancer. The series for all intents and purposes is reddit coded Andy Weir levels of writing that is cringe.
>>
Sounds gay. Won't read. Won't watch.

ready player one all over again
>>
>>221238522
>The characters have stats, levels, skill trees, loot, classes, etc.
That's awful. How did that catch on? How does that not break people's immersion? Do people in real life have stats? Can you determine the outcome of a boxing match based on the fighters skill trees and levels? So fucking gay. This shit is cancer.
>>
>>221238699
It's even worse, which is crazy. Ready Player One looks like toxic White male chuddery in comparison because it has the audacity to say that the guy should get the girl and not be happy that she left him and say, "I get it, I suck. I'm happy for you, your new boyfriend seems cool." You have no idea how bad this shit is.

It's a pretty wide genre, but yeah, at it's core it's the worst kind of stat-wank written by the most soulless unimaginative automatons. It's hard to explain, so instead let me post an excerpt from dungeon crawler carl.
Imagine having the flow of text be constantly interrupted by popup boxes describing mundane shit, like the MC looked at a plant for 15 seconds, which gave him the plant identification skill at level 1.
It hit serialised fiction harder than isekai hit anime.
>>
>>221238715
I don't actually mind it if the system exists in universe. What I cannot stand is when only the MC has some cheat system that no one else does

This is some of the worst writing I've ever seen in my life and it's actually depressing that I find myself rewriting the same sentences, paragraphs, etc, in my own stories which I will never even bother submitting over and over again trying to get the perfect flow, the perfect series of words, and then you look at the stuff people actually publish and make money off of and it's on the same level as a Discord message, just so lazy, ugly, shitty, unfunny, awful....

I really hate this world.

It's been a while since I read something so painfully unfunny.
>>
>>221238860
Are those supposed to be jokes? Like, when a redditor reads, "Achievement Unlocked: Crazy Cat Lady" do they guffaw and snicker out loud?
>>
>>221236319
You're not wrong.
>>
>>221238860
>>221238877
I get the impression that the majority of people listened to the audiobook and the humor came from the delivery of the narrator rather than the text itself.
>>
>>221238850
The system eventually degrades into a tool the author uses to conveniently advance the plot. The system in the book isn't rigid, it changes a lot and if the change is significant the author hand-waves it away to be explained later, usually in the next book. A lot of the first few books are, "I'll explain this later" bullshit.
>>
>>221238877
>I stared at those last words as they faded away
>You're so dead
I'm glad he repeated that line that's on the same page, I might have forgotten it otherwise.
>>
>>221238936
So it's absolute bullshit. Implementing a system and then disregarding it whenever you are too uncreative to actually operate within it is even worse. He never should have included it in the first place. Hack.
>>
>>221238860
almost impressive how westoid 'creatives' can take a shit concept like isekai and make it even worse
>>
>>221238860
>Snarky system
That gives me the ick
>>
>>221238904
I would wager that "crazy cat lady" is now seen as a very problematic insult and anyone using it would risk getting cancelled.
>>
>>221236211
They're also probably going to remove a lot of the weird shit like the homeless hooker/whore boss, the huge titty alien amalgamation, and a bunch of other "offensive" stuff which interestingly decreases as the series goes on. I have no idea how they're going to advertise this series to the demographic they need without kids thinking this is for them.

Isekai sucks ass but rpg spoof like The Hero Yoshihiko can be kino. I also liked Magical Circle Guru Guru when I was a kid.

>I have no idea how they're going to advertise this series to the demographic they need without kids thinking this is for them.
They won't. There is no audience for this garbage. Remember that movie where the Harry Potter actor had guns nailed into his hands and it was really vulgar and there was a bunch of sex and violence and it was also le quirky chungus humor and he was wearing a bathrobe and underwear or something?

Exact same genre of thing as this series will be. It had no appeal, and this will have no appeal.

Imagine being such a retarded failure you don't submit your own writing work because you seethe over it's quality and complain other writers are more successful. Crab bucket loser thinking. If if if.... If I submitted it'd I would be successful too I'm working so hard I promise.
>>
>>221238873
So instead of acknowledging your flaws and lack of writing skills, you prefer to live in your little delusions of grandeur. That or you're just a troll.

Maybe you'll understand one day when you learn to appreciate good literature.

>>221239714
You're delusional if you think that sloppy writing posted in the examples is good. It's better to try, and fail, to write something good, then to succeed in writing something mediocre.
>>
>>221239711
I know it wouldn't be published because my writing is better than that of the editors and they would get angry and instead choose to publish someone worse than them to make themselves feel better. In all likelihood my work will be discovered after I'm dead. So it goes, being a great artist is never easy.

Depends on whether you're writing as a passion project or as a job.
A consistent product sells. The most popular web serials aren't necessarily good, they just drop like 10k words a week. Editing can happen when you have a finished product.

Jeff Hays did an incredible job. I haven't listened to the audiobook myself, but I really like seeing his work process on youtube.

No, I actually write in a way which is very easy to read. It's important for the language to flow IMO and be almost hypnotic. There are of course hidden meanings, but they don't distract from the ability for my writing to be read and understood by the masses on a direct and straight forward level, repeat readings and contemplation however reveal new facets.
