Matt Dinniman recommends

Reborn as a Dark Lord (2025)
(Reborn as a Dark Lord, book 1)
Timothy W Long
"A hilarious, sauce-stained isekai with the right amount of flavoring."

An Unexpected Hero (2024)
(So You Want to be a Hero, book 1)
Rhett C Bruno and Jaime Castle
"Is it funny? No. It's effing hilarious!"

How to Become the Dark Lord (and Die Trying) (2024)
(Dark Lord Davi, book 1)
Django Wexler
"Takes the old saying 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em,' to the next level. A sarcastic, action-packed, intrigue-filled (mis)adventure. One of the funniest books I've read in a long time."
