Just plain stupid and nonsensical

This isn't even a book or a real story. It's just pages upon pages of pop culture, nerd culture, and 80s-90s kid's cartoons references. The first 1-3 pages of every chapter is some random excerpt from an in universe person on some random tidbit of "lore". The POV changes constantly.

The entire story can be summed up as incredibly lucky crab continues to be incredibly lucky, Gods watch him on TV, while thundercats and Powerpuff girls are constantly referenced. That's it. Oh and throw backs making fun of the author's previously works.

I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this garbage. It's so bad I'm unable to compare it to the worst kinds of food imaginable. It's really that bad. I'm not hating, I usually like Ryan Rimmel's work, but the only place this thing deserves to be is loaded onto a rocket and shot into the sun.

I was using this book to fall asleep to! Great cuz it’s silly and like, not very good, so you don’t feel compelled to pay a lot of attention

It doesn't seem to have any direction or purpose. And it's tedious and repetitive.

This book was a lot of fun and so absurd. Having a crab be the main character and having to deal with divine forces once again was absurd but wonderful. The whole concept of corruption is fascinating and I’m excited to see what the adventures or Sir Crabby will lead to next.
