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.

Even better than the anime

This is the best anime to novel I have ever read. You can feel the author's love bleeding through his words. I cannot wait for the next book to come out.

Great light novel series

I’ve enjoyed this light novel many times and was excited to see it as a audio book. If there is one thing to improve is have male voice actor handle the male parts and the female voice actor handle the female parts instead of having it split the book in half for one then the other it would improve the immersion and overall quality definitely buying the rest in this series as it my favorite series. Looking forward to seeing them released

EVERYTHING!!!

Took me deep into a fantastic world of monsters, emotions and well love in the most silliest of ways. I rerecommend thistbook to everybody!! Loved every single bit of it and will listen to it again and again and again and again.. We'll you get the point. So go listen to it what are you waiting for!!

Voice Actor gets changed halfway through!

There is nothing more irritating to me then having to deal with a voice actor change in an audio book! Matt Shipman was doing an amazing job. Like seriously he was perfect! I've only watched like the first two or three episodes of anime (so basically just what the light novel covers). Maybe Hajime isn't going to be the central main protagonist but instead builds a party up. I really don't know only the slight spoiler that the second voice actor voices someone who is described as another "main female protagonist" (that wasn't Yue). But a voice actor gives their own unique personality to the character! They breathe life into them making them their own. At least that's what good voice actors do! If I just wanted it narrated I would of bought the light novel and just let the computer read it!

Imagine if they replaced Peter Dinklage in Game of Thrones with Gilbert Gottfried halfway through. Nothing wrong with Gilbert Gottfried, but simply portraying a character (reading the script) isn't what made the character of Tyrion Lannister fan favorite, it was literally Peter Dinklage personal portrayal of that character! And to just swap out a main character's actor with another is crazy. I dunno, maybe I'm in the minority. I stopped watching the Witcher series when Henry Cavil left and Liam Hemsworth replaced him. Maybe the show did alright as it hasn't been canceled yet.

Anyway, I would rate this 5 start across the board if Matt Shipman was the only voice actor. Story wise, really good light novel! I highly recommend it.

NEED THE NEXT ONE ASAP

Very enjoyable. liked the first narrator better and was a bit confused when they switched narrators.

Story is just as i expected amazing!

the only grip and request i have and if you guys are listening is please have the voice actor voice their respective roles instead of taking turns half way throughout the story but don't get me wrong they both did an amazing job!

Love this series and this audiobook

Both the VA from the anime read this book and they were both amazing in their own way. Matt (Hajime) does an amazing job putting passion into other characters voice lines and "sound effects". Morgan (Tio) reads so smoothly its incredible, she also puts passion into individual characters but when she reads it sounds like a story being told not someone reading from a book. While I've seen the repeated part of 2 VAs swapping over half way etc.. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it. While I can agree that it would be a nice touch to have Matt still voice male character lines while Morgan voices female character lines, I would still enjoy hearing both read the book. Please have them both continue their amazing work and please continue to release the rest of the series as audio. After reading all the books it's really enjoyable to listen to them by such amazing VA.

Love reading and listening to it.

I read the book a while back, however when I saw an audiobook I had to listen to it! Having the convenience of listening to the story helps while doing other tasks. Can't wait for the other books to be in audio format.

great story

I like the book but now I want to listen to more. I hope the rest of the seris will be made for audible.

About time

Great series and narration. One day will get vol 2 and maybe one day yen press stop hating money and do reincarnated as a slime and life will be perfect.
