Great story

But I just can't get past the narrator's voice. I really wanted to see how the books were different from the anime, though it doesn't seem I'll be able to this way. I guess my poor decision on not selecting the sample.

Excellent story, questionable excecution

love the story, enjoyed the audio format. young raphtalia voice however was....rough and very much took me out of the story with how jarring it was. please get a female reader for these parts moving forward.

Hire a female voice actor for the female characters

The voice of female characters such as Raphtalia is NOT a good voice to have for them. They need to hire a second voice actor for the female characters.

Honestly a great story…

To be perfectly honest I am writing this in hope that another volume gets written because the amount of detail put into this book feels like the guy is reading from a dnd setting and it is amazing! It absolutely sucks that it’s been 6 months with no follow up at all! Kurt, if you’re reading this, you started out great but it definitely sounded like you did long and drawn out reading sections. When I got to the part where Naofumi was accused the emotion sounds like you just read for 5 hours already! I don’t blame being tired and reading, I get it, but take shorter session, don’t be afraid of multiple takes and all of a chapter. I hope all of our honestly doesn’t drive you away but instead helps you pursue and endure.

Very interesting Isekai concept.

The concept definitely hooks you in very well and keeps you hooked with the first major conflict. From there the relationship with the hero and his new companion was done very well. definitely a good choice for Isekai fans.

Needs one more voice

Story is good and I will buy more IF they get a female to voice the parts of the girls. Right now they kind of sound like Ms Piggy

good light novel but terrible narrator

narrator cannot express emotions or do female voices. great story line just needs a better narrator

great book. performance of females a little lackin

finally an light novel audio book. Have all the printed copies of the series. I hope one peace books doesn't string this out over years.

The Voice Actor...

As most of the reviews say, the voice actor makes it so difficult to listen to this. He does Raphtalia's voice like Miss Piggy with a cold. His Naofumi starts off rough but it gets better. He goes from just reading off a script to actually putting some emotion into it.
Honestly, I wouldn't have bought this book had I known it would sound like this, and I've already bought Vol. 2. I've learned my lesson and I'll never buy a sequel until after I've listened to the first one.
I've paid for it so I'm going to push through and force myself to listen, but don't make my mistake. Test the waters before you dive in. The story is great if you can get past Miss Piggy, and he does a better voice for her towards the end.
Maybe Vol.2 will be easier to get into.

Can't wait for more!

So glad this finally has an audiobook! Have been reading the light novel for a while, and have been hoping for an audiobook to accompany at some point. Can't wait for the next installment!
