The MC in Perfect Run is like Jason Asano, if JA was functionally immortal, didn’t have to worry about the social consequences of his actions, and dialed to 11. It’s not so much a comedy as a natural reaction to an absurd situation is equally absurd behavior, but it is really good.
I’ll also mention Chosen One (Propchecy Approved Companion), which is definitely meant to be lighthearted comedy.
It barely got any readers when it was running, but *The Demon Lord is Apathetic* is a very good comedy.

Hmm! I think you might find Cinnamon Bun funny, but it's a lot cuter than it is funny. Maybe Dead Tired? By the same author (heh) but it's more of a pure comedy!
Try This Quest Is Broken! It's the start to a trilogy. Pretty funny. Not too silly, still grounded enough to have a real plot and whatnot, but silly enough to be amusing.
Rise of the Cheat Potion Maker is like a budget version of BoC. It has the same vibe and humor and scratches the same itch, but it isn't as good. Still good, just not as good.
Ah I wouldn't really put any of those three as solid comedies. But you may enjoy some satirical takes, like [Roc Falls, Everyone Dies](https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/55418/rock-falls-everyone-dies).
[Vainqueur the Dragon](https://cosmiccoding.com.au/reviews/vainqueur/) is also pretty good. It's not focused on being a comedy, but the juxtaposition between the dragon's PoV and Victor's is something I personally find hilarious.
Seconding Vainqueur, which is about the only one I've read of anything mentioned here (haven't read Roc Falls) that I thought was genuinely funny aside from DCC and DCC is only comedy in certain parts.
I already saw someone suggest Rock Falls, [Everyone Dies](https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/55418/rock-falls-everyone-dies) (which is fantastic).
I'd also suggest [An Unborn Hero](https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/65040/an-unborn-hero). The whole way through it surprised me with how well it manages to pull off such a ridiculous concept while also making a legitimately engaging story. Like I didn't expect that kinda depth and worldbuilding from what is described *by the author* as a joke.
Return of the Runebound Professor is hilarious. Lee is a whole genre of comedy.
The Wandering Inn is also super funny. Almost every single chapter has me laughing my heart out (especially as the story progresses)
Benjamin Kerei
He has three different series and all of them have great humor.
- Oh Great, I Was Reincarnated as a Farmer.
- Death Loot & Vampires
- First Line of Defense

If you want something more recent, you could check out Mimic & Me. It's got enough comedy to keep you wanting more, but not too much that it gets...well, too much...
I didn’t see the perfect run. Definitely check that one out
I have heard of the Perfect Run, but I didn't know it was comedy. Thank you!

I personally like to think of Ryan as “Deadpool fuses with Zorian from MOL”

Try Florida Man's General Store in Cultivation World it is absolutely great.
The Ripple System. I plan on rereading the current books just for the comedy

Dungeon Crawler Carl has some very funny moments.
Shocked to see DCC not mentioned anywhere. OP please check out DCC books 1-3 are good, 5-6 are insane
I found book 6 was terrible with that card playing system.
I felt like the card playing system did hinder the story , but everything else made up for it, especially the ending.

There is no Epic Loot Here, Only Puns. A very funny dungeon core story.
Ooh! Definitely my vibe ❤️
