So long Between Releases

I fell in love with the anime when it released and it already feels like we've been too long without a next season. So my question is why take so long between releases of the light novel's audiobook adaptation, 9 months is a really long time for a book series that already contains 30+ volumes in Japanese.

Wonderful World-Building enhanced by Voice Actor

The second book builds on what takes place in the first. Myne has moved on from making failed forms of paper to trying to make plant paper, but makes others suspicious in the process. I like that she isn’t an over-powered character but faces push backs from this new world she is in. It makes the other characters intelligent and observant and world more interesting and authentic.

Moreover, as the author, Miya Kazuki, skillfully builds this unique and intricate fantasy world, she doesn’t lose the balance between developing the plot and characters with creating the complex setting. Rather it compliments and engagingly grows the other.

However, an audiobook needs a great narrator to put what is amazing in print into audio form. Reba Buhr, a real, human voice actress truly enhances the story-telling. As the main character meets new characters in different age, social , or economic groups, the skill Reba Buhr displays is evident. For instance, in conversations, she convincingly plays both a scruff, young boy and a sophisticated, educated man in his thirties. Also, the emotional scenes felt more distressing through her skills. She really upped my standards in what I look for in a narrator.

The only complaint I have is that in some parts, the character I expected to speak wasn’t the one I heard. I get that it didn’t list the character speaking in the book and the voice director probably didn’t double check with the translator, but it was just a tad jarring that a character that spoke in the anime wasn’t the same one delivering the line in the audiobook. It was still very enjoyable and likely won’t be noticed if one doesn’t reread this series like I do.

I look forward to the installment in this series and thank everyone who contributed. Hope to see Part 1 Volume 3 soon.

voice acting is excellent

voice acting is excellent and of course I enjoyed this story as much as the first part. I'm really looking forward to listening to the rest of the series with Reba doing such an excellent job.

More please!

I love this series and really want to hear more! I believe that this audio series is great for people who don't have a lot of time to read. This series is so much fun! More please!

Can't wait for the next one

A really good series. I hope the next one comes out quicker than the last one.

Soooo Good

I can't believe it ends in a cliffhanger. I can't wait another year for this. I'm dying

They can not release this series fast enough.

I absolutely love this series so much! It is one of my favorite series!! I am eager for the rest of the books to come out.

(づ￣ ³￣)づ Beautiful novel.

I have been reading this series for the past couple of years. To my great delight the voices used breath life into the characters with distinct dual tone for Maine internal monolog and external communications. Glad the other characters have distinctive voices. My only concern is if they will include a voiced reading and description of of the comic shorts of future novels. This series is a treasure akin to Red River and I hope it becomes a classic the likes of Maison Ikkokku .

my favorite lite novel!

the story is refreshing and new, with a deep and detailed world. I've read the novels and watches the anime but I think I like the audio version the best, the voice actress does a really great job bringing the story to life!

so excited

I am so excited for the next one!!! It manages to be so entertaining and heartfelt that I listened to the whole book in one sitting.
