The more of the story

Loved everything about the storytelling and thought it was amazing and very in depth felt like I was there

vary good series

Ive read to valume 10 this series is very action packed fun story with great character development for both main characters

A super good listen

seen the anime had to listen to audiobook enjoyed both,I just love isekai stories and animes

Cute and Simple

I have to confess that I had watched the anime adaptation before listening to this so maybe my opinion of it is biased since I liked the anime so much. The anime is very close to the light novels here, and both are quite good. I will warn you, though, that the first quarter of this book covers the sword's time alone before meeting Fran, so those of you that are anxious to meet the cat girl will have to be patient. Still, that part of the story is interesting enough, I suppose, but it is mainly just fighting. When the story does finally move on to the sword meeting Fran, things really pick up. Fran is pretty adorable and fearless. She is also quite young, so I'm glad the sword isn't creepy and thinks of Fran like a daughter more than anything. They both work together well and have good chemistry together. And, of course, a little twelve year old cat girl holding her own against dangerous monsters while wielding a high end sword definitely gets her noticed. I definitely think it is worth a listen of you are a light novels fan.

Always a good time

I have read this book twice and that was before the anime was even a thing. I really enjoyed reading it and the audiobook was just as enjoyable. When it comes to audiobooks it must be done by a narrator who can do distinct voices and he did that. Very entertaining and looking forward to the next one.

exactly what ive been missing

felt empty trying to find something that i would like or did like.
then this showed up out of nowhere and immediately made my day.
loved watching the anime as it came out and ill love listening to the audio books as they come out too.

Went in expecting nothing, came out pleasantly surprised!

The name made me lump it in with all the other generic Isekai slop like smartphone and vending machine, shows that try to get by on the concept alone. This one however genuinely shocked me with how well done everything is. The story is refreshingly old school, the relationship between the two main characters is wholesome and treated respectfully, the side characters are enjoyable, and my god does the narrator have fantastic range!

Great narration, great story

Most light novels with anime where the audiobook isn't narrated by somebody from the anime disappoint me. This one did not. Josh Hurley does a great job. Especially impressive as a solo narrator. I never cringe at any of his voices, and I haven't yet found myself wishing there was a woman to narrate the female voices.

Surprisingly joyful

This story was remarkably entertaining. I was a little skeptical but wow the writing was so good and the main characters were so fun and likable. A great read.

Enjoyable

It has a quick pace and I enjoyed the story. I would recommend to any LN enthusiast.
