Which Discworld book do you think is underrated, or isn't shown as much love by fans (as you think it should)? (self.discworld)

Is it possibly because I came over from lemmy.world?

I do like The Last Continent! To me, the level of absurd hijinks there is about the same as Going Postal - not my favourite, but it seems to be beloved. There were more posts talking about the exploits of Moist anyway. Now, why is that? Is it the case, that Moist von Lipwig has a lot of vocal fans and Rincewind, our early hero, is not as popular anymore?

I can sort of see why people think of Rincewind as a bit one-note. He's a coward, he runs away....that's kind of it.

But it's a fun note, and the situations he gets into are hilarious, so idgaf 😄

But he runs away and towards interesting times and dangerous situations. The most relatable hero, that man. Who wouldn't run away when confronted by the kind of things he run into.
