Naofumi Iwatani, an uncharismatic Otaku who spends his days on games and manga, suddenly finds himself summoned to a parallel universe! He discovers he is one of four heroes equipped with legendary weapons and tasked with saving the world from its prophesied destruction. As the Shield Hero, the weakest of the heroes, all is not as it seems. Naofumi is soon alone, penniless, and betrayed. With no one to turn to, and nowhere to run, he is left with only his shield. Now, Naofumi must rise to become the legendary Shield Hero and save the world!

It has been a journey to listening versus reading the book. Listening to audiobooks of this gives me a different view of gradual progression, helping me grow attached to the characters, and Narrator Kurt Kanazawa is excellent. The drama that Naofumi and his party dealing with other Heroes's messes has begun to show that he brings unintended consequences in good results. That showing flaws that are Ren's, Motoyasu's, and Itsuki's are apparent to complete wrecklessness to recent events. People are beginning to change their minds towards Naofumi in a positive manner. Despite Naofumi's false accusations against him and he had to work hard in protecting this world.

It definitely gets intense to the story that will be crazy manner of getting hunted down by Cults of The Three Heroes and King Trash's Vendetta of Naofumi, who is the Shield Hero.

I think the story is pretty good, but the main character is a complete coward. He whines and pouts about everything that happens. He does nothing to defend himself just accepting his treatment. He obviously has more power than the other heroes yet doesn't stand up to anyone. The narrator pauses in the middle of sentences like he is having a hard time reading.

What hero?

the performance is getting better but jesus christ every time he does a battle cry like "hiyah" it feels like an old man is orgasming in my ear. has this dude never watched a movie or something? no one shouts like that. jesus. it just takes me out of it so fast man.

okay..what the hell are those battle cries..
