Just an enjoyable experience to be had.

The only issue is not much change in some characters voices. Thankfully the story carries it through and helps you know who is talking when those characters are together.

Excellent

I was kind of hoping the kid who does the anime would perform this, but still very happy it made it to audible.

really good

honestly this one has the best translation work from any light novel I have listened to amd no cringe moments

Cute and Relaxing

This isn't the most interesting or original story in the world, and it is unfortunately quite short, but it has a great feeling to it and I think it is well worth a listen.

I actually realized shortly after I had started this that I had seen the anime. I could only remember a little bit of the anime so I thought maybe I had dropped it despite also having fond memories of it, which was weird. It turns out that the anime covered only this book, and this book is very short without really much happening, so that explains why I had thought I dropped it. It's really only about four episodes of content, so they must have really stretched it out.

At any rate, if it sounds promising to you, then feel free to give it a go. It is quite heartwarming.

Fun and delightful

If you listen you will find more details than were in the show. Worth the read

Gods slimes new life

New life in a New World full of magic ,slime , and new friends slow pace with adventures

Love this story!

I love it so much that I listen to it pretty regularly, like every month or two, and still enjoy it every time! Great voice actors and storyline make for a wonderful listening experience 🥰

Light Novel to Anime

As always, the story is better than the anime. After going through this to the end and rewatching the first 6 episodes in season 1. I understood the plot better and found the anime to be rushed.

Those who enjoy the series would enjoy this as well. I do hope book 2 comes out soon.

Looking at you Jon Vertullo, I think feel you did a good job distinguishing each character as well as narrating.

goes more in depth and story then the TV show

I've first watched the TV show then I started reading the book and I've noticed that the books are somewhat better than TV show cuz they go on more in depth then the show but I am hooked on these books

I loved this book

The story is fun and lighthearted! It is a nice change of pace for an Isekai story! I watched the anime already, but I still enjoyed reading this! I would highly recommend this book and series!
