I genuinely feel that these two books, and the audiobooks even more so, are full blown genius.

The character has been steeping in his own mythology and metatext for decades, and these books use that to such a wonderful effect. I think they hold up as amazing comedy in their own right, but having the character describe events we’ve seen in previous formats but through a warped narrative is a wonderful and uncommon device, and the intentional bad writing is so joyous.
