About this listen
Summoned to another world to slay the mighty beast . . . of governance! (And soon to be an anime!)
When Kazuya Souma is unexpectedly transported to another world, he knows the people expect a hero. But Souma's idea of heroism is more practical than most—he wants to rebuild the flagging economy of the new land he's found himself in! Betrothed to the princess and abruptly planted on the throne, this realist hero must gather talented people to help him get the country back on its feet—not through war, or adventure, but with administrative reform!

Mikura Moriya expected a quiet and peaceful life in the forest when he inherited his great-grandfather’s house and enormous orchard. Someone had to keep the family business running, so he quit his job and decided to live off the land. But the house isn’t in any old forest...it’s deep in the Beastly Wilds, an area off-limits to most humans. For the Wilds are home to the Beastfolk—neither human nor animal, but something in between. It isn’t long before Mikura meets his new neighbors and makes a pact with a girl with chipmunk ears that will change his life forever.

A bicycle crashes into me one night, and the next thing I know, I’m a baby? Getting reincarnated in another world populated by humans, demi-humans, and mythical beasts is certainly not the turn I thought my life was going to take. I especially didn’t expect to be carried off by a wolf and given into the care of a one-armed former knight. Now, I’m trying to repay him by rebuilding the family inn and healing his arm with alchemy.

Every year, the empire administers the rite of passage into adulthood. That rite serves to identify those blessed by Aether to become magi. The new magi are shipped to the academy to learn the arts of magic. The academy is a dangerous place; the tournaments held twice each year can cripple or kill the students, and the clans of the empire will go to great lengths to recruit the students they want. Gregory had one dream: to become a magi like the legends of old. Though he was ridiculed by the residents of the village and his unsupportive father, he never wavered from his dream.

It's good stuff

Great Charactors and Great Story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Would benefit from 2 narrators
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
There is a flaw in the narration. At points the story will switch perspective between paragraphs. A larger cast of voices or a second narrator would help. Both would be preferable.
The use of background sounds or music could help at points, but this is not that big of a production.
Some cultural elements like polygamy and slavery are mentioned in the story.
Overall better than most, but there are a few better in production quality. The Story is almost its own category of light novel. It avoids man pit falls of the Modern Isakie.
A good start

back ground noise

I'm 2 books in and with the exception of a few bits that are NOT story breaking or world breaking you can safely skip the book or anime for the other.
I watched the anime when it was a first run and it was good, but after 2 books it's a waste, there's really nothing here that wasn't in the show that's important. This ain't like hollywood movies that are drastically different than the book.
Anyway, I won't be getting any more of the books, and I won't refund the 2 I have. I'll just watch the anime and be content because so far the books really don't offer anything better or more.
You're not missing anything if you've watched the

Surprisingly good

The narrator is also good, though maybe a slightly too mature voice for the MC. Even still, I have enjoyed his performance even of the female characters...
Heartily recommend to anyone who loves Isekai and harem stories.
Really enjoyable Isekai, 100% recommend
