Narrado por: Matt Shipman, Morgan Lauré

Seventeen-year-old Hajime Nagumo is your average, everyday otaku. However, his simple life of pulling all-nighters and sleeping in school is suddenly turned upside down when he, along with the rest of his class, is summoned to a fantasy world! They're treated like heroes and tasked with the duty of saving the human race from utter extinction. But what should have been any otaku's wet dream quickly turns into Hajime's nightmare. While the rest of his class are blessed with godlike powers, Hajime's job, Synergist, only has a single transmutation skill. Ridiculed and bullied by his classmates for being weak, he soon finds himself in despair. Will he be able to survive in this dangerous world of monsters and demons with only a glorified blacksmith's level of strength?

If you liked the anime...

... you'll like this book. Minor spoilers but if you watched the anime you'll already know the story anyway. This novel starts before the anime series in the classroom before they become isakai-ed. Hajime's journey through the labyrinth is longer and more involved than shown in the show. This book covers the first 5 episodes of the anime in greater detail than could be shown. like I said if you like the anime you'll like this book.

Very good

Hopefully the rest of the series will come to audiobook very soon so I can listen to it all because waiting is a pain

Great story telling

very rich story telling. Watched the anime first, but still enjoying hearing everything that was left out. Here's hoping we'll get more volumes soon

love both anime and book

this story is gold 🪙 although better than the anime so far when the next come out??

F'in' fantastic

The book is absolutely better than the anime.

I gave a 4 on performance, due to two different narrators. Both voice actors/narrators are amazing, but it would have been better for: male for male characters, beasts/monsters, and female for female characters and narrative. It was kinda humorous when she enacted the behemoth's roar.

Great production otherwise. Can't wait for the rest!
