Looking for something with a dumb main character but not in the lazy writing way. An actual likable character, a bumbling goober who does everything wrong but somehow things always end up working out type thing maybe? Any genre is cool if you think it fits the vibes! something on an adult reading level pls 🙂

Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evnovich
Dortmunder series by Donald Westlake
Confederacy of Dunces
Anything written by John Niven.
Life of The Party by Tea Hacic-VlahovicÂ
It will blow your mind.Â
The Sideways Life of Denny Voss. The main character is NOT dumb, but he does have a mental disability that makes him perceive things from a different point of view. He winds up in several comically disastrous scenarios. The story is told from his perspective, and it was so well written. A heartwarming murder mystery, if you will.
Brigadier Gerard by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. So funny, so slept on.  The main character has a similar vibe as Agatha Christie’s Hastings but with the arrogant, cheerful stupidity amplified by ten.
