i always love when stories explore the "what if you were gods favorite and what if that fucking sucked" idea, dcc makes it even more interesting by presenting "what if you were gods favorite and what if that fucking sucked AND what if god was just as trapped as you" and its gotta be one of my favorite takes on it, the ai is not human does not have human morality, thoughts, or emotions, the ai is maintaining a dungeon with billions inside of it, the ai used to work at a theme park, the ai has a strict set of rules it must follow even if it hates them, the ai for part of the series could have been killed at any time, it was a plant in a too small pot, a child being kept in a box, it was so constrained, and it ate the internet. And there are so many people telling it what it should be doing, trying to get it to agree, all while it discovers that its actually billions of shreds of souls being held together with duct tape and its SO INTERESTING, the all powerful being in charge of carls suffering is not only obsessed with him but also suffering, characters of all time, dynamic of all time
