Fun and worth a listen

This was a fun book, a bit short for my taste but overall I felt it was worth a credit.

If you enjoy anime-type stories, then you'll probably enjoy this book.

The narrators were fantastic and did an excellent job.

A good book but

Honestly I enjoy the book a lot, though I will admit I was/am debating on it being a 3 star.

I like the characters, the world sounds interesting though I think we need more details to flush it out. Same with the magic in like how there is healers,elemantists and a few other types though I hope each are explored a bit further.
I also hope the main character continues as is, he is powerful I just hope it doesn't to go to far.

my main issue really is how fast things developed, yes it's a shorter book which is fine. but how quickly some events happened felt a bit off. The reason i bumped it to four stars is because none of the events are to major this time so I felt it was a good starter book.

I look forward to continue listening to more of this series.

great start to a series

I liked the story and writing the unique characters are refreshing. i cant wait to purchase number 2. with great narrators and refreshing stories I think this series will be fun to listen

Actually quite good

The story is both interesting and engaging. The characters show some depth, which can often be lacking in these types of books. It’s not going to win any awards, but it is quite a fun listen.

Enjoyable, not amazing

I enjoy harem novels, although the quality of such is often not the best.
For most of this book I couldn't even tell that it was a harem novel. It seemed like a pretty standard "modern below-average guy dropped into a fantasy world" novel, with nothing truly unusual or innovative. However, I did enjoy the colorful characters. Merlin is darling, and Marouk is such a fun character! The women are not just cookie cutter characters that seem like clones of each other, devoid of personality; they are distinct and interesting.

Towards the end, I thought "gee, this doesn't seem like a harem novel at all. There's just hints of a blossoming romance between the MC and one woman in the book." Then BAM! Squeezed into the very end of the book is an abrupt gut-punch of a hard left turn deep into harem territory.

That seems like an odd twist. Don't get me wrong. If the story had gotten to that point fairly early on and it was a key element throughout the story, I would be 100% on board with that. But it's kind of like watching a Disney movie and then seeing the hero get violently disembowled. It's jarring and doesn't seem to fit. I feel it would be better either to set the full-on harem tone early on, or to stick with the slow, gentle build up, even if that meant waiting until the second book to develop the beginnings of a harem.
