Anyone on the fence about it, the books just get better and better as it goes on.
There's certainly some questionable side characters, and the main character has main character syndrome, but it all makes sense as the story goes along.
It’s one of those series where you just have to sit back and tell yourself that he’s the main character and just enjoy it and not over analyze it , I’ve heard some people argue that Carl is a Mary sue but I disagree and think that he’s just the main character.
