I fell in love with the anime when it released and it already feels like we've been too long without a next season. So my question is why take so long between releases of the light novel's audiobook adaptation, 9 months is a really long time for a book series that already contains 30+ volumes in Japanese.

So long Between Releases

awesome performance, and great story! I think my only complaint is that the first half of this volume is included in the first volume, so I felt a little shortchanged.

super great

Abnormally realistic, especially for an isekai. I really hope they do the rest of the series.

unique story, fantastic characters

The second book builds on what takes place in the first. Myne has moved on from making failed forms of paper to trying to make plant paper, but makes others suspicious in the process. I like that she isn’t an over-powered character but faces push backs from this new world she is in. It makes the other characters intelligent and observant and world more interesting and authentic.

Moreover, as the author, Miya Kazuki, skillfully builds this unique and intricate fantasy world, she doesn’t lose the balance between developing the plot and characters with creating the complex setting. Rather it compliments and engagingly grows the other.

However, an audiobook needs a great narrator to put what is amazing in print into audio form. Reba Buhr, a real, human voice actress truly enhances the story-telling. As the main character meets new characters in different age, social , or economic groups, the skill Reba Buhr displays is evident. For instance, in conversations, she convincingly plays both a scruff, young boy and a sophisticated, educated man in his thirties. Also, the emotional scenes felt more distressing through her skills. She really upped my standards in what I look for in a narrator.

The only complaint I have is that in some parts, the character I expected to speak wasn’t the one I heard. I get that it didn’t list the character speaking in the book and the voice director probably didn’t double check with the translator, but it was just a tad jarring that a character that spoke in the anime wasn’t the same one delivering the line in the audiobook. It was still very enjoyable and likely won’t be noticed if one doesn’t reread this series like I do.

I look forward to the installment in this series and thank everyone who contributed. Hope to see Part 1 Volume 3 soon.

Wonderful World-Building enhanced by Voice Actor
