Death is only the beginning!

Kicked out by his family and wandering the streets, an unemployed 34-year-old shut-in thinks he’s hit rock-bottom—just as he’s hit and killed by a speeding truck! Awakening to find himself reborn as an infant in a world of swords and sorcery, but with the memories of his first life intact, Rudeus Greyrat is determined not to repeat his past mistakes. He’s going to make the most of this reincarnation as he sets off on the adventure of a second lifetime!

well now I know I'll be buying the next 24 volumes

this has to be my favorite JP light novel series
I've already read all 25 but always wanted an audio version to listen to when I'm on work or the road. Hopefully, the wait is not that long for the next volumes but gotta say is nice to see them bringing more JP light novels to the platform just spotted a few ones I've already seen and will get them as well

Love this story!!

I have watched the anime once before but still found this very interesting. The light novel includes certain events from other characters views allowing for a better understanding of who they are as people. It is also very cool to see how the characters actually learn and grow. For the performance, I thought it was very good although I wish there was a female VA for the female characters. This would make sense his listen one of my favorites.

I loved the anime but found the questions I had in the show answered here very early on. Totally hooked on this series and now wanting to know more.

Cliff Kurt Delivers Excellence

I'm extremely picky when it comes to narrators. I have skipped a lot of interesting books because of it. However, Cliff Kurt is one of the best narrators on this platform. He is on par with Jim Dale in quality, and that is the best compliment I can give a voice actor. I look forward to hearing more books from him. Great work, sir. I applaud you. Keep 'em coming.

As for these novels... I have to preface by saying that I don't read many light novels.

Things I don't like:
This story would probably offend a great many of people. There is an alarming amount of sexual dialog involving children that I find difficult to listen to. I try to view this as a brutally honest inner dialog of a heavily flawed, mentally damaged main character and that helps me to experience the other facets of this story (which are amazing). While the behavior is explainable due to the character's past life, I think it holds the story back from being on par with something like Sword of Truth. While this type of dialog eventually begins to taper out, I would definitely not recommend this series for children.

Things I do like:
The world building is deep and captivating. At the end of each book there is an extra chapter that builds the world ahead of the characters, setting the stage for future events and showing that the author took great care in his world building.

The journey the main character takes is engaging. I'm constantly looking forward to seeing how all of the main characters develop and grow in strength and character. I can't wait to see where they land themselves next and what they will gain from their experiences. It's a grand adventure that makes you think that when you die, maybe you'll be reborn into a world of sword and sorcery and have a similar journey.

Really good anime and the light novel

I love the anime a lot even with the controversies it has, but the novel bring more detail and thoughts on the other characters that bring more life to them.
