Some fatal flaws, but overall good

I think there are two major problems here: false advertising, and poor casting, direction and scripting for the audiobook libretto (or whatever it's called. At best, this book is mildly amusing when I was promised uproarious laughter. I also was recommended this based on my love of Beware of Chicken, so this was completely a mismatch. Still a very strong story that I enjoyed once I got over the fact that it wasn't going to be a barrel of laughs, which colored my entire experience of it.

Second, the voice actor is very good, but I do wonder why he was chosen when all the characters in the first half of the book are either androgynous non-binary or female. The director seems to have resolved this by making him speak breathily and "ethereally" for most of the book, which got irritating. The script was also intensely repetitive, I can probably recite from memory the monster points for each level of the dungeon/tower, and the initial skills the dungeon core had access to as well. Very frustrating, I felt.

I would still recommend the book, but I would advise that the advertising change, and if edits were possible at this stage, that some of the repetitiveness be resolved as well.
