About this listen
Being a hero isn't a walk on Mars!
Alexander S. Ryker dreams of becoming a hero, but dreams are hard to achieve when you’ve caused several million credits worth of property damage. Being expelled from the Mars Police Academy isn’t helping his case. Crushed, Alex encounters a girl named Gabrielle Angelise in a meeting that will change his life forever. Gabrielle is an alien! She’s also on the run. Alex wonders if this is the chance that he’s been waiting for, the chance to finally become a hero. Opportunities like this don’t come often, or ever, and so Alex steps up to protect Gabrielle and make his dream a reality. He will become a hero—if the strain from living with an alien bombshell doesn’t kill him first!
Fans of To LOVE-Ru who wanted a better protagonist will enjoy this series.

After being betrayed by the very kingdom he saved, Jacob Stone forsook his title of Hero. Now he lives the simple life of a barkeep. Yet even that life is irrevocably erased when a young woman named Enyo appears before him. She claims to be the daughter of the former Dark Lord and has come seeking his aid. He’d normally never consider lending her a hand, but when she tells him that she knows of a way for him to return home, he’s left with little recourse.

In his illustrious career as a bard for the band known as Wanderlust, Bodrick has met countless beautiful women, slain untold foes, and done the impossible more times than he can count—not that that's saying much. It’s a good thing he has Plink Creamenickers, a mysterious and beautiful pixie from Court Creamenickers, to handle the math for him. But Bodrick’s golden retriever-like personality can be, ahem, hard for her to keep a leash on at times. It’s never long before his... certain extremities... lead him into one new escapade after another, broke or not.

With that said I picked it up and decided to give it a listen since I had a credit free and I'm 4/5 glad I did. However since this is a hard enough review to write I'm going to ashew my typical pro/con style and shoot from the hip. First, if you like anime style stories this is a good book, if you like something lighthearted and fun, this is a good book. I want to stress this, the is a good book, just not a great book and honestly this is the problem.
So what is my problem with the book? Well you see, the flaws in the book, are ones that To Love Ru, and Japanese books in general don't have; IE the feel of social slant or it could just be my "SJW run for the hills sense" is binging because the tropes have been taken straight from Japan. This could just be me, but there were a few times with Karin, especially, that I felt there was too much raw raw go girl, women are perfect. This is fine in a manga or light novel, since I'm well aware its typically played for laughs, with the oh so perfect strict boss lady having a few flaws hidden away; like bemoaning her single life or being a slob or being a little too girly in private, something to balance out the perfect bad ass boss lady image. Maybe there is later in the series, but as is she's just a sadist and rude which, well I don't like those characters, especially if they are not given a reason for why they are that way. Again I'm trying not to judge since I know this trope and this is a first volume to a series. The biggest problem being that the MC comes off as preachy and naivety, especially when he monologues towards the end. Which is okay since he's 16 years old. If this was manga his character arch would be losing that naivety and learning what a hero actually is, you know grow up. However, this is not a manga and thus I can't help but feel uneasy. Add to this there was far to much anti-arranged marriage stuff to the point that I wanted to bang my head against the wall, she ain't a normal girl, its called noblesse oblige, bad things happen to everyone when the rulers forget this. However, again, this is not supposed to be a serious novel, which gives a feeling of whiplash which leave me a little off balance.
In the end, this is a decent novel, if you like manga or something lighthearted, give this a shot. I'll be waiting for the next book, to see how this goes and edit this review after that.
