Trying to keep this more updated more regularly for... no reason really, just want to
I'm about 40% done with book 6 of Dungeon Crawler Carl, and it's been a ride that I still can't put down. It's nice having something like that in my life. Not Tiktok, not social media, not reddit but still something I can sink into and escape with
