My Quiet Blacksmith Life in Another World: Volume 1

My Quiet Blacksmith Life in Another World, Book 1

By: Tamamaru

Narrated by: Greg Chun

Eizo is a middle-aged, overworked software engineer who loves cats.

One night after working late, he saves an injured cat from a speeding truck. The cat survives, but Eizo does not...

Luckily, that cat turns out to be a god-like being who offers him a second chance in another world! Eizo decides that he wants a slower life, one where he can live off the things he creates with his own hands. So, why not become a blacksmith? He does have one other stipulation: a cat companion for his quiet life.

These requests are granted, and Eizo is whisked away to a new world and imbued with blacksmithing knowledge. He soon finds out that his abilities are above average—in fact, his new skills are so overpowered that they're like cheats. On top of that, his cat companion turns out to be a half-tiger girl!

Eizo's blades soon garner attention, and he realizes that he can turn the tides of battle with his forge and hammer. With so much commotion in store, will Eizo truly be able to enjoy a quiet life?

The Japanese corporate worker lives a hard life.

It'd be better titled the 40 year old overworked virgin. No. Like seriously. It is definitely a cozy listen, but it left me feeling really bad for a japanese corporate worker.

Edit: The book is only 6.5 hours! I have never had an Audible that gave an hour preview of the next book! Honestly kind of dirty. I was enjoying the epilogue credits.

Fantastic and easy going

Great listen, very easy going and an enjoyable story. Eagerly looking forward to book two.

More please

Hopefully volumes 7 and 8 will come out soon to audiobook so I can continue to listen to the story and when 9 comes out hopefully it will be on audiobook as well

depth of emotion and the finer details were nice. I could relax and listen and be in the black forest

Can't say there was anything I disliked. I can't wait for the next set of audio books to come out.

amazing cozy story!

the story is amazing softhearted and cozy. There isn't a lot of action but the story is good. there are a few things I dislike. mainly how often the main character refers to his cheat powers like we get it you're op chill. I think there could be a bit more conflict not necessarily fighting but maybe a rude customer, small accidents or something else. this is more of a preference but overall the story is great and I hope it plays out well in the next few books
