Deeper darker belongs to a little known genre called the ubik show.

Yeah I guess farce fits. It went all in on Ubik's plan shenanigans that always work out for Ubik (i seriously wonder whether he has some reality bender powers beyond his tech magic). And since he never talks about his plans either before or after that means nobody can plan around it so the other two mcs despite being personally powerful just follow along in his wake and comment. And outside characters just get pulled in and are mostly props to be wowed and outplayed. (Which was more limited in the long dungeon arc because there were fewer other people.)

It is entertaining or me until I grow a bit tired of it so I have taken one long break from reading it and will probably soon take another.
