Narrado por: John Patneaude

TIME TO GET CRAFTY!

Kousuke suddenly wakes up alone in a vast forest that clearly isn't anywhere on Earth. Now he has to find some way to eat, drink, and survive! Luckily, Kousuke also has the power to craft using a special video game menu that allows him to harvest resources and build whatever he can imagine. However, every time he goes to sleep, he's attacked by one of the many non-human races of this world, all of whom despise humankind. Enter Silphy, the beautiful dark elf who lays claim to Kousuke and vows to protect him--after all, she's taken him as her property!

Unique, Funny, and Entertaining

This was a great, lighthearted story with lots of charm. I really enjoyed the main character's special crafting power and the fact that everyone else in the world recognized it as the nonsensical b.s. that it is, even in a world of magic. The character interactions were fairly wholesome and I appreciated that the author did not include the sex scenes, not because I'm a pride or don't occasionally enjoy them, but because nine times out of ten they end up as the cringe imaginings of a virgin teen boy.

At any rate, I love the author's (Ryuto's) Space Mercenary series so I was happy to stumble onto this one. I hope it is successful enough that he continues to publish them on Audible, although his books don't seem to get much exposure, unfortunately. I think some of that has to do with some of the books, like this one, being published under the author's name in katakana, and other times romanji. The katakana version that this one is published under is hard for a Westerner to search for and probably hurts its discoverability.

At any rate, if you are looking for something light with a bit of action and lots of game-like crafting then give this a try - I'm sure you will like it.

Fun Isekai story

Loved this book. A guy has survival video game powers and goes to a fantasy world. Very fun story, 10/10, would recommend!

Pleasantly surprised with how well this was done.

I'd put this as the best LN narrator out of all the ones I've read so far. Does fairly good female voices which is always a challenge and I enjoyed the story and can't wait for more.

interesting in weird way

Usually dont review, but im hoping this makes it to those might not be okay with this style. wish it stated in the bio that this was basically a slave/submissive kink fantasy world. it works if that's something your into. If your into being bossed around by a hot elf and treated like a slave and accepting it outright then this is for you

Nah

I want to like this but the MC is such a loser. Completely submissive and not in a comedic way either, just instantly bends over and he takes joy in calling himself a slave. I guess that's funny in the east? From the title I thought this was going to be a comedy of some sort and the preview didn't give me much. Dnf. Not for me
