A Deadly Mistake

When Kanbara Kanata is whisked away from his mundane life to a world of adventure, he inadvertently offends the all-powerful being who brought him there. As punishment, he is sent to the bottom of the most dangerous dungeon without a single special power or ability! He is sure that he's a goner until he meets a lich girl named Lunaere--an undead powerhouse who hates humans, but grudgingly decides to assist him all the same. With Lunaere's help, Kanata may just grow into someone truly incredible!

The story is pretty good, but the voice acting is a little weak.

From the name, I’m assuming the voice actor is male, but surprisingly he does female voices better than male ones. Unfortunately the high pitch voice makes the lead sound more nasal and winey than intended. But to be fair, his delivery on female characters surprisingly good, which male voice actors are more likely struggle with.

The story itself doesn’t stand out too much from other Isekai stories except for a few notable details. Him literally dying many times to achieve his strength was compelling and helped the his OP abilities feel earned. And everything being the result of a game for the gods is an interesting hook that I think helps elevate the story.

Well Done!!

I enjoyed this story! A different take, and the best thing is I got it as part of my membership. I highly recommend this book! Narrator did a good job, not sure why the other reviewer was so harsh about narration but I enjoyed the tale. Looking forward to the next book!!

more.....

I want more..... I liked it enough to leave a review. a pretty good dropped into another world title. genuinely interested in seeing where the story will go.

The promise of future books

It is a different take on an over powered MC. Spend the credit. I am waiting on next book.

A Great Light Novel

I would like to thank Seven Seas for bringing us another great light novel. I really enjoyed the humor of this book and that the MC eventually caught on to how strong he was after leaving the dungeon. The oblivious MC trope gets tired fast, so I'm glad this one had some basic deductive reasoning skills. I did get a little annoyed and disinterested towards the middle of the book with the super stereotypical a-hole adventurer antagonist but hey, at least the writer didn't have the MC fighting evil slavers. I'm definitely interested in continuing the series. The writer has shown a lot of promise and some uniqueness, so I hope they can keep the bulk of the next book filled with original ideas.
