Azath, please don't go into politics. You spin like a Maga Republican.
You tell me I'm wrong, but what about your stated scenario doesn't boil down to the prompt: "Take Dungeon Crawler Carl and make it from the POV of the cat"? This right here is exactly what so many people don't want. It's just like saying "take A Game of Thrones and stylize it like a Studio Ghibli film.".
This isn't anywhere near the case of a book being rewritten to add depth and perspective that the original didn't have. Think more along the lines of James by Percival Everett for an example of what I'm talking about here. -

You might as well drink the trash juice in the dumpster outside a very good restaurant. All the scrapings from lots of incredible dishes have come together to make it so surely it's going to taste great.
it's essentially a big old blender, except what comes out of the funnel is turds.
It utterly galls me that people defend it. Especially here, on a forum dedicated to a creative work.
In particular, let's not forget where this discussion came up again. Azath daydreaming about AI doing exactly what they're swearing up and down AI doesn't do.

How did no one mention that one of the main characters is a cat?
Hmm, maybe if a great enough AI rewrote the books from the perspective of the cat... and narrated the audiobook with hyperrealistic (if idealized/optimized for human hearing and tactile sensation) cat sounds... -

I think Azath was right on one thing. We're piling on and derailing this topic. -

is any time spent on 'stats', characters looking at conveniently located magic/virtual/wrist screens and monologuing how powerful they are or aren't?
No stat viewing, general levels of people are discussed, no wrist screens, some talk of how to evaluate who is strong and who isn't.
Does the cat level up?
"Level 20 Cat"
I lovedSpoiler's character development in the Library Trilogy... he really grew.
The cat is a fully realized dungeon crawler that specializes in magic. -

I guess I'd also say that as the cast and world expand, much more page time is dedicated to storytelling than meta stuff, proportionally. I'd recommend reading through book 3 before you truly decide to get off the train.
But you know, YOLO, so do what you gotta do.

Alternatively, Jeff Hays is absolutely a top tier narrator and how about we don't replace him with AI slop?
