About this listen

Noclip in, no way out ...

All Dan wants is to find a way home. He'd settle for a beer, a bite to eat, and a place to sleep off his hangover.

But, in an endless, ever-changing dungeon cobbled together from twisted carnivals, abandoned shopping malls, janky laundromats, and condemned insane asylums, getting a bit of shut-eye is harder than it sounds.

Dan has accidentally "Noclipped" into the Backrooms—a bizarro, extra-dimensional Alice-in-Wonderland world, overrun with horrific nightmare creatures known as the Dwellers. No one ever gets out. Hell, forget about leaving, if Dan wants to survive the week, he's going to need to harness the strange game-like magic of the Backrooms, make some very sketchy allies, and carve out a little safe haven to call his own.

And he's going to need to do it fast because Dan is being hunted. The Flayed Monarch of the 999th floor has marked him for death and no one walks away from the Skinless Court with their hide intact ...

“The book is a f***ing delight. I enjoyed the absolute hell out of it and think it's an excellent use of pop culture to make something fun and horrific and awesome.” (Eric Ugland, author of the Good Guys and Bad Guys series)

“Buckle up, buttercup! James Hunter takes you on a balls-to-the-wall adventure that's as insane as it is awesome.” (Jez Cajiao, author of the Arise and Rise of Mankind series)

"Discount Dan is a fun, fast-paced read with awesome game mechanics, surprising humor, and a brutal adventure you won’t want to put down!" (Dakota Krout, author of Completionist Chronicles, Full Murder Hobo, and The Divine Dungeon)

DCC fans need to check out DD.

James Hunter has come out with such a fun and awesome new adventure. Discount Dan is cram packed with a ton of nostalgia and epic crazy fun that will leave you wanting more. I feel confident to day that DD is the closest mimic to DCC within the LitRPG genre so far. This book is a solid must buy and I can't wait for book 2.

A great new twist on LTRPG

At first I wasn't sure how this story was going to turn out. It surprisingly pulled me in. A fun weird tale of an alternate reality.

What a great start…

This book was so fun… Very creative. I love the world building, shop building, and relic forging. I am very excited for the next installment. The author did a great job and narration was great.

It's good for a laugh

Don't often review books, I don't write amazingly insightful reviews. This book was good but not amazing, world building and pace were iffy. characters were forgettable but the story wasn't bad and I am interested to see how the story unfolds. The MC has a mess of skills and is completely inconsistent with his military attitude. His sidekicks are meh, not only are they meh they are also inconsistently mentioned scene to scene. I like the theme of this litrpg but the leveling and magic mechanics are loose and vague. Other people around him being so weak is explained once and it just sounded like the author justifying why the people he met could be considered close to his meager strength though they've been in the backrooms for years. Also something that bothers me about a lot of so-so writers is that they don't describe body position and body motions during combat. Therefore in my head while combat is taking place the characters are all standing still the entire fight acting like turrets with occasional movement. I always like this narrator and his accents are very good. He's not great at female voices but nobody is perfect. overall if you've made it through DOTF, primal hunter..randidly ghosthound, beware of chicken, and all of sandersons books. This is a decent time killer.

Real treasure

I was a little sceptical going in to this one, but holy heck was I sucked in in no time flat.
The Title character is fun, relatable and believable, his situation, totally unbelievable, but that's very much the point, isn't it? :)

Honestly some of the best praise I can give this book is that it gives me real Dungeon Crawler Carl vibes, but at the same time it has it's own personality, it's not a ripoff, it's the potential to be something great if it just gets the right traction.

As to Narration, Steve is a powerhouse in his own right, the amount of noises and voices that comes out of that dudes mouth makes me worry for his long term health ( and be very pleased for his wife with how much control he has )

Totally ROCKS

Love the McGyver-esque MC and that he isn't a SEAL or super assasin type. Definitely a new LITRPG FAV. Reader does a great job and sidekick is adorable. You won't regret buying this one - creative take and lots of 90's references. We need MOAR asap!

A different Dungeon Crawler Carl. A one away universe.

Dungeon Crawler Carl is nigh my favorite series. this does not have the depth of DCC but it's also the first book so take it with a grain of salt enjoy it for what it is and it's good you should listen to it

Abrasively Unique

The concept of the world in this book is very unique which is refreshing after listening to hundreds of litRPG books and I absolutely love the abrasive humor. Can’t wait for the next book!
