About this listen

Under the protection of the gods, a relaxed life with slimes in another world begins!

One day, the life of middle-aged Japanese businessman Ryoma Takebayashi came to a rather sudden and disappointing end. Ryoma had never had a blessed life, but after his death, three great gods sought his cooperation and reincarnated him as a child in another world with swords and magic!

Just an enjoyable experience to be had.

The only issue is not much change in some characters voices. Thankfully the story carries it through and helps you know who is talking when those characters are together.

Excellent

I was kind of hoping the kid who does the anime would perform this, but still very happy it made it to audible.

Loved The Anime and now the Book

This was a nice relaxing engaging audiobook. I would definitely recommend. I loved the anime and I really enjoyed the book. The pace was nice and it was an enjoyable slice of life book with elements of magic. if you haven't watched the anime I would recommend that as well.

Cute and Relaxing

This isn't the most interesting or original story in the world, and it is unfortunately quite short, but it has a great feeling to it and I think it is well worth a listen.

I actually realized shortly after I had started this that I had seen the anime. I could only remember a little bit of the anime so I thought maybe I had dropped it despite also having fond memories of it, which was weird. It turns out that the anime covered only this book, and this book is very short without really much happening, so that explains why I had thought I dropped it. It's really only about four episodes of content, so they must have really stretched it out.

At any rate, if it sounds promising to you, then feel free to give it a go. It is quite heartwarming.

Light Novel to Anime

As always, the story is better than the anime. After going through this to the end and rewatching the first 6 episodes in season 1. I understood the plot better and found the anime to be rushed.

Those who enjoy the series would enjoy this as well. I do hope book 2 comes out soon.

Looking at you Jon Vertullo, I think feel you did a good job distinguishing each character as well as narrating.
