The Score is settled

I love the story about the Naofumi is now be able to trust Kizuna, Glass, L'arc, and Therese after going through much trial. Now it Yomogi that she who had to admit defeat when facing Naofumi and confronting the truth about the Kyo that his intentions were sinister than she originally thought. There a lot characters got to shine like Rishia when facing Kyo although, Kyo was playing dirty that forced Naofumi to use shield hero of rage with his most trusted companions Raphtalia and Filo with booster effect. It comes with the price once they defeat Kyo that their status have been heavily halved by curse. After that they all celebrate a major victory with all the people that defeated Kyo. Naofumi and his party members had to return to the summoned world to prepare face more Wave of Disaster and Four Holy Beasts.

I am grateful that narrator to continue with the work although, there was some parts cut off when narrator spoke through out audible making me think there some audio glitches in general that take me out of the story sometimes. Maybe some audio edits make seem ends abruptly in middle some of the chapters jarring. Hopefully that won't too much of that audio glitches or cut off in mid sentences that can be fixed.

Good story, continuing painful narration.

The story continues to be pretty good. Unfortunately, as in the last few books, the narrator pauses inappropriately all over the place like Captain Kirk. It's. Really starting to. Get. On my nerves.

Performance is just awful

Seriously, just when I think he can’t get any worse, he proves me wrong. William shatter has a better reading cadence. Hell, I’ve heard voice to text AI books on YouTube where there’s zero editing to fix anything that sounds more natural. I’m not one to criticize unless I think I can do a better job, and honestly, I really think I could. There’s also the bizarre sound effects he makes that are incongruous to the described text.


To the narrator. Watch the anime adaptation and take a cue from there. Your interpretation sucks and you should take inspiration from another source.
