About this listen
Summoned to another world to slay the mighty beast . . . of governance! (And soon to be an anime!)
When Kazuya Souma is unexpectedly transported to another world, he knows the people expect a hero. But Souma's idea of heroism is more practical than most—he wants to rebuild the flagging economy of the new land he's found himself in! Betrothed to the princess and abruptly planted on the throne, this realist hero must gather talented people to help him get the country back on its feet—not through war, or adventure, but with administrative reform!

Seventeen-year-old Hajime Nagumo is your average, everyday otaku. However, his simple life of pulling all-nighters and sleeping in school is suddenly turned upside down when he, along with the rest of his class, is summoned to a fantasy world! They're treated like heroes and tasked with the duty of saving the human race from utter extinction. But what should have been any otaku's wet dream quickly turns into Hajime's nightmare. While the rest of his class are blessed with godlike powers, Hajime's job, Synergist, only has a single transmutation skill.

When an ambitious teenage girl from Earth finds herself in a magical realm, she could be the hero—but she'd prefer to be the villain. When power-hungry Everly is reborn into a medieval world where elemental magic rules and she receives her elemental servants—the oddly sadistic Eris and the fun-loving Titania—years earlier than one typically would, she knows she's destined for a command of necromantic magic the likes of which her peers can only dream.

Outstanding but sometimes a bit too slow
Narration was very good but having actual female voices for the female leads would have been better. The story is great but slow build ups which I don’t mind. I got the first 4 audiobook and I’m not disappointed at all. Can’t wait for the others.

Good but different.
I have had the pleasure of reading the manga and watching the anime version. I do love the series and the narration was good but the audio book felt a bit unsatisfying. The narrator does a good job in helping the audience visualize the world and characters. However, while helpful, a lot of time is spent in describing everything. Which made the story shorter and the audio book version felt more like reading a play or script than an actual novel. The audio book version of the series is great, but I think reading the manga or anime is better.
