5.0

I loved every second of this book. It made me laugh out loud so many times with its dark, absurd, satirical humor. My favorite bits were when the AI gave info about items and achievements, including the most ridiculous over-the-top pop culture references, memes, and jokes.
Princess Donut is clearly the best character, but Carl is also great and pretty relatable. I'm looking forward to seeing more Mongo in the next book, especially when he starts to get bigger.
The voice acting was also really good, and they conveyed Carl's exasperation (usually with Donut) just perfectly. 
I can't wait to continue the series.
