Claws up
Sir Crabby continues his adventures, but now he's in the army. Crabby, Luna, and their new friends join forces to save the day, but the price is high.
A fine addition to the litrpg genre, humor, drama, and not an overwhelming emphasis on stats to the detriment of the story. My one complaint is that there are some grammatical and lexical errors, more rigorous editing might be called for. Tom out

It is super fun nonsense.
I don't write reviews very often
This one is worth it. I love the ending love the middle.
I love the intermission.
It is full of subculture references and nonsense. But it's so fun.

It is good book, but nothing special, and its downfall is that it cannot escape the "feeling" as a kiddie book, as hard as it tries.
The story is solid (albeit fairly straightforward, even for a LitRPG), the characters are ok, the world the story happens into is making me curious to know more about it. But on the downside, everything feels childish. It is as if it tries really hard to be like these Pixar movies, that tell kids' stories but with many adult underlayers. Try as it might, it fails short.
I will leaving Sir Crabby Chronicles for good from this book on. It didn't make me curious enough to know what happens next with him and his friends.
Which in a way is a shame - it feels as the problem is in me, and not in the book. But yeah, can't give it more than 3 stars...

Sir Crabby rides again!
If you ever wanted to know what it was like to join the military, here's your chance to find out. At the same time, you would also have to be living underwater and possibly a crustacean for this to be 100% accurate. And magic would have to exist, and a few other slight oddities from the real world. But then again, it's another great sir crabby story where we see him continue on in his forever quest to get home to his princess. It's full of many jokes and references to obscure or not so obscure nerdy knowledge. The writing itself is fun, but the more of the in jokes you get the more interesting it becomes. Also, if you happen to be a fan of dad jokes, there may be one or two or 50 or so.

The second book was much better then the first, in this book we learn about the defense that has been put up against the "corruption" and more of how the corruption and the gods in the system are at odds with each other. We also find out that Crabby can't use more divine power, as it will kill him, and this story introduces more of a military view on the creatures. They end up getting teleported to far into dangerous territory (this was not an accident but one of the other gods is angry and bets that he won't survive) but he ends up overcoming it and sacrifices himself to save everyone.

Lot of moderately useless flipping over to the god channel to see what they are up to. I don't really care and it really doesn't impact the story. Yes, we know some of them are very impressed with the MC. Don't care. The main story is the great love between a crab and a starfish.
There is only a little clever planning and a lot of 'anything is possible if you believe it hard enough' tripe. Couple of mildly humorous 'dad jokes'.
Overall, bubble gum for the brain at best.

The eternally bemused Sir Crabby joins in the fight against the corrupted army.
A good read, but not as good as the previous novel. Levels and stats seem irrelevant. Skills either do nothing or act as Deus ex Machina. Most of the time, you would be hard pressed to imagine the characters being underwater - they might as well be on land, for the way they behave. A pretty good ending, but not enough to lift the book to 4 stars.

Story is good
The problem is that unlike the first book, where the characters act like sea-creatures with human intelligence, in this book the characters act like humans shaped like sea creatures.
There is a big difference and it’s an important one.

A 13hr audio book. More odd pop culture refences and jokes, one or two are actually good. The main story is still a bit dull, and the leveling stats are majorly annoying, but overall I still enjoy the characters and the idea of trying stop the end of the world, A good LitRPG.

fun
Love Sir Crabby! He’s naive and clever and lucky as the luckiest crab can be. The story is fun, fast, and entertaining. And I’m looking forward to more!

So good that I really wish I hadn't started this series until it was complete! I tend to forget some of the story when I need to wait (years?) for everything to be released.

I love fantasy with a little levity and this hits the spot.
The god interludes are great.

A worthy follow-up to Deepwater Dungeon, this one is a bit less fun because things are getting a bit more serious in-universe.

This had its funny moments, but it was a bit of a boring listen for me 😢

Crabby enters the military! I enjoyed this more than the first because of the presence of an actual plot line instead of a straight up dungeon crawl. Still the story leaves a lot to be desired… maybe I just don’t get enough of the pop culture references to make this entertaining… or maybe the MC is just too unbelievably lucky… or maybe it just isn’t very good. I used this to help me fall asleep when I experienced insomnia and it worked great. More natural than drugs, minimal side effects.

So this is a perfect example where I should've reread bk1 before I started. As I had forgotten a lot and couldn't quite get into the story and follow Crabby's merry little gang of adventurers as they enter Incursion City and hafta join up to fight the Corruption... So I put the book down for another and then another and another. Anyhow when I finally picked it up again I discovered that I easily slipped right back into their "shell" (narrative) and was able to throughly enjoy the rest of the book. Finding out that it was just as fun as "Deep Water Dungeon" bk1...
Phil Thron was great too.
