Our hero wakes to find himself in the body of one of his favorite Isekai anime characters. In this new world, the hero is a once-in-a-hundred-year prodigy, a master Arcanist, and is blessed by the god of magic himself!

He has a harem of beautiful women at his beck and call, an Empire under his control, and the most powerful Arcana Spirits the world has ever seen.

Sounds great, right? Well, there's just one problem.... Our hero isn't *the* hero.

Our hero is the bad guy with a tragic ending.

Armed with only his knowledge of the anime and the body of 11-year-old Aren Ulvani, can our hero turn his life around, or will the events of the anime come to pass regardless of what he does?

I am a fan of light novels but I am a slow reader so hopefully we will get more of these. Narration was good, a few voices were hard to understand but otherwise very clear. The storyline isn't new but has room to grow even more interesting as the series progresses. Love the snarky inner commentary of the main character.

Hopefully the start of a new trend!

Most the books that I’ve listened on Audible are either really good or crap. This book is somewhere in between but leaning more to the good side. The only real issue I have with the book is the narrator. Most of the characters he does really good but to him particular really pisses me off. With one he uses a French accent that you cannot hear or understand and the other has the worst sounding voice that you can imagine. On the plus side I love how he betrays the king and the main character. The book as a whole I loved and I can’t wait to listen to the next one.

Love the story

Short but still very good, it’s worth the credit. So give this a chance! Waiting for more! And check out the anime trope system!

Very good! Waiting for more!
