Surprisingly adorable

As some other review describes accurately: its a mashup of isekai with fantasy kingdom management. Oh, truly delightful. So happy I bought this!
I swear if it was lengthier I wouldn't mind at all. So good!

Good +

Very well written. Tempo on the slow side but still interesting enough to go on listening. Half the young master could have been cut without losing anything. I will buy the next audiobook.

My first audio book

can't believe i would ever be into books - yet alone audio book! I've enjoyed this audio book so much, i purchased the Publisher pack 2, and will be binging it NOW!

I love the characters and their development, and even though the MC is over powered, there is subtle balance that it doesn't overwhelm the story and makes everything else pointless.

Amazing

Truly, one of the best things I've ever listened to. I've seen a lot of reviews say the OP Main Character is boring and so is city building but as my first introduction to Action and Adventure, it really had me on the edge of my seat almost the entire time. I have never read any books in this type of genre before and every chapter had me waiting for the audio to continue. The performance is absolutely amazing with the vast voices the reader has, as well as sticking to voices even if a character has not shown up in a while. Truly amazing.

captivating story

could not stop, no time wasting moments like neverending conversations or descriptions of every atoms of a tavern, the way people die of admiration over mc and that they seems to have minus 2 brain cells get annoying tho.

Very Enjoyable, but One Major Issue

The truth is, I really, REALLY like this story! If you like Isekai/Reincarnation then this story is great. That said, I feel there is one issue that is so glaring, it makes me feel guilty continuing. The fact that the beast men are all voiced in the accents of colonized peoples and given the personalities of infighting noble savages, while fighting a war to reclaim their conquered lands, a claim the author seems to dispute, is so insensitive as to be shocking in the current cultural and political climate. At first I wondered if it was a choice made by the director and voice actor (both white presenting people from what I could gather) but then it turns out the language of the beast men is "Al-Bahim" which is Arabic for "(lowly) beast", and the author goes out of his way to emphasize Lark's whiteness in most of his battles with the various beast generals that it seems to be a conscious choice, whatever the final intention. While none of the humans are presented well, their positions and hierarchy of power is well preserved by both the author and the protagonist Lark. This is very disappointing.

Captivating From Start to Finish

Could not stop listening once I started, the story is intriguing with a lovable main character. It hits all the spots you expect of the genre and the pacing is fantastic, doesn't drag on nor is it lacking in world-building. Loved it so much I went out and bought the rest of the ebooks!

pretty decent

not bad at all, that is if you get books 1 and 2 for 1 credit...if separate they are too short to be worth the credit

Started great, ended “good”

Honestly, this was a fun story with a great narrator! It was reasonably original and I found the main character interesting enough to keep me wanting more. Where it fell short though, was in the second half of the story. It began to feel just like any other rebirth story with an OP protagonist. It started out in such a way that I was excited to see this arch magus struggle to regain his power and exert his authority, but after about half way through the book, he immediately has no trouble conquering any obstacles before him. If there’s no struggle, even internally, then there are no stakes. No stakes, then no tension. Lots of potential, just squandered in the end.

A solid series

Great decision on grouping the books. I binged all four and was still sad to not have a fifth.
