A modern man is reborn into a fantasy world as a sword in this new isekai light novel series!

Reincarnated as a sentient weapon with memories of his past life, but not his name, a magical sword saves a young beastgirl from a life of slavery. Fran, the cat-eared girl, becomes his wielder, and wants only to grow stronger, while the sword wants to know why he is here. Together, the strange duo's journey has only just begun!

I have to confess that I had watched the anime adaptation before listening to this so maybe my opinion of it is biased since I liked the anime so much. The anime is very close to the light novels here, and both are quite good. I will warn you, though, that the first quarter of this book covers the sword's time alone before meeting Fran, so those of you that are anxious to meet the cat girl will have to be patient. Still, that part of the story is interesting enough, I suppose, but it is mainly just fighting. When the story does finally move on to the sword meeting Fran, things really pick up. Fran is pretty adorable and fearless. She is also quite young, so I'm glad the sword isn't creepy and thinks of Fran like a daughter more than anything. They both work together well and have good chemistry together. And, of course, a little twelve year old cat girl holding her own against dangerous monsters while wielding a high end sword definitely gets her noticed. I definitely think it is worth a listen of you are a light novels fan.

Cute and Simple

Most light novels with anime where the audiobook isn't narrated by somebody from the anime disappoint me. This one did not. Josh Hurley does a great job. Especially impressive as a solo narrator. I never cringe at any of his voices, and I haven't yet found myself wishing there was a woman to narrate the female voices.

Great narration, great story

This story was remarkably entertaining. I was a little skeptical but wow the writing was so good and the main characters were so fun and likable. A great read.

Surprisingly joyful

felt empty trying to find something that i would like or did like.
then this showed up out of nowhere and immediately made my day.
loved watching the anime as it came out and ill love listening to the audio books as they come out too.

exactly what ive been missing

The name made me lump it in with all the other generic Isekai slop like smartphone and vending machine, shows that try to get by on the concept alone. This one however genuinely shocked me with how well done everything is. The story is refreshingly old school, the relationship between the two main characters is wholesome and treated respectfully, the side characters are enjoyable, and my god does the narrator have fantastic range!

Went in expecting nothing, came out pleasantly surprised!

The story's pretty good. The characters are nice. The only bad part I think, is that it keeps ongoing off tangent into the WA', like a bunch of what the scales are. So it'll be like two or three minutes of them just reading off somebody's skill set, and i'm like, yeah, could you at least make it funny. But it's always in the robot voice, and it's just like stuff. We don't need to know because we're probably never going to see that character again. We're probably not going to remember what their stats are, he could just say what their stats were, and he doesn't have to give us every stat, just like, yeah, maybe two or three of the stats.

Meh.
