Similar toOmniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, Dinniman’s novel follows Coast Guard Carl through his journey to undergo a series of dungeons while an alien race watches his every move as if he were on reality television. It also combines some RPG mechanics by initiating his team as a party with none other than Princess Donut as the team leader.
RPG-inspired works are ever on the rise, breaching into even modern-day literature, and it’s not hard to see why. As reviewed by critics online, introductions or heavy references to gaming are popular in the webcomic sphere, providing for some levity and fun world-building for both the author and the audience.
“Magic potions, jokes, witty dialogue, gory fight scenes worthy of a horror novel; everything here is over the top, and that makes it work. It’s hard to take a talking cat who is a diva seriously, but Dinniman pulls that off here.”
