About this listen

In a former life, Jack was gifted, meaning he possessed peculiar abilities. If rich folks found themselves in a jam, Jack could use his talents to get them out of it. Where others were sure to fail, Jack's aristocratic clientele could always count on him to finish jobs cleanly, efficiently, and leave no trace, for which his services commanded a hefty fee.

But one day, Jack picked a fight with the wrong man and his old life came to an end. But, as it turned out, his story was far from over.

A mysterious supernatural being whisked Jack's consciousness away and into the body of a young nobleman living in a different world in the multiverse—a magical one.

In it, he must play the part of Max Renard, illegitimate son of a traitor who was recently executed on orders from the king, which caused Max to lose his home and be forced to dwell in a small town on the western outskirts of the kingdom.

And now this new life-his last life—is the one he must lead . . .

I appreciate the fact that the Main Character was not some overpowered superhero who was getting all of his problems easily resolved from the get go. Good story and narrator is very pleasant to listen to. I’m getting the next book. No regrets in spending credits.

Enjoyable read

A True Gem

Was not expecting much but turns out it was good. A little bit white knight-y, but nothing too major and second book should be excellent.

Surprisingly good

Hooked

This story isn't for everybody. Some moments are slow, but it fills it with information about the world or the different mindset. I really liked it

A different change

As with any translated book, you always have to worry about everything coming across properly. Just to clear your mind now I completely forgot it was a translated book till I got to this point and started writing the review. Nothing stood out (like in some books parking lots are called car parks).

As far as the murder hobo comment from another review, I never saw that. There were multiple times that he let people go and it turned around and became an inconvenience to the MC.

Overall a good listen and can't wait for the second book!

Really great find

The book has a great story going but didn’t have enough action for me. I will however move onto book 2.

Light action great story.

I loved this book so much.
I am not a critic so I won’t pretend to be, but the way that this book combined reincarnation, mystical abilities, and a touch of fantasy politics makes me happy to say that I will be buying the second book in this series when it releases this Fourth of July.
I only hope that more casual readers like me find this absolute gem when browsing books on audible.com.

An absolute gem

Even though these audiobooks are a little short, I throughly enjoy them! It’s a really enjoyable start from nothing and work your way up tale. If you enjoy OP protagonist that start from nothing and have tons of potential this is the book for you. The only thing that bothered me in the beginning was the French accent but you get used to it.

Fun reincarnation tale
