Publisher's summary

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!

Shield Hero is an amazing Story!

I really enjoy this series and the narrator is trying his best and has improved from the first volume but his characters all sound very similar and all just kindbof run together

Wave of Disaster and The Cult of Three Heroes

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.

The narrator has definitely improved

This audiobook is a joy to listen to, and the series in general is so good! It's one of my favorite Light novel series.
