Story
After a freak lightning accident zaps him dead, 15-year-old Mochizuki Touya wakes up to find himself face-to-face with God. “I am afraid to say that I have made a bit of a blunder...” laments the old coot. But all is not lost! God says he can reincarnate Touya into a world of fantasy, and as a bonus, he gets to bring his smartphone along with him! So begins Touya's adventure in a new, anachronistic pseudo-medieval world. Friends! Laughs! Tears! Inexplicable Deus ex Machina!

I know it's written in the story, but should come with a headphone warning.
Overall, a good performance by both. But, and big but at that, those moments just yank a listener our of the story.

Can we get them all this way?
Reviewed: 04-22-24
By far and away the best Light novel adaptation to a audiobook. After listening to several both single and duet narrations. I can say without hesitation this was done best and without the unnecessary screeching or "screaming" that occurs in most others when monsters are involved.

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.

It's a great series, glad to see it getting audiobooks. As a series with significantly more female main characters than male, hopefully we see a continued narration by Morgan Lauré.

Story
After surviving a harsh winter, Eli finds himself in a unique situation when a long-lost dungeon is discovered on the property. It could be the perfect proving ground for the students who have earned their Class, but it could also become their tomb. It also doesn't help that the town of Last Stop is in danger. The Edgelands are creeping in and gobbling up entire cities overnight. With nowhere else to take the children, it's up to Eli to come up with a solution to both problems that only a Master Enchanter could accomplish. With the love of a few good women by his side, anything is possible.

I will admit to being discouraged when I saw that there had been a narrator change for this series. That said, it is still an excellent story. Especially for 3 books for one credit.
