Light Novel

By: Ennki Hakari

Narrated by: Fred Berman

A KNIGHT TO REMEMBER!

A gamer falls asleep—only to wake up in the world of the game he was playing! Arc has the powerful skills and weapons of his character, but there's just one problem... he's stuck looking like that character, too. An adventure in a fantastical new land awaits him, if he can get used to being a walking skeleton!

Great listen

Love the book it feels in more of the story left out from the Anime. I am looking forward to more being released. This types of books I can listen to helps work and travel go by so much easier.

Good, but…

Really nice and wholesome; however, the MC is constantly morally confused. He’s oddly terrified of offending psychotic nobles. It’s bizarre and kinda cowardly.

Let’s hope he grows some balls in later books.

the story telling is geart.

I have loved this series for a few years now. I am so happy I can listen to it now while I wait for the next book in the series to come out. also I really like the MC in the series because he is not a complete idiot like a lot of other MC out there. The story is good too.

Better than the anime

Man the anime switched a bunch of stuff around. I wish they would have kept it a little closer to the source material.

This was a grest start to a series that led to questionable choices by the author.

About the narrator, I keep waiting for Captain Hiro to tell Mimi and Elma to get into their flight seats to battle space pirates... It's that distinctive you can't really mistake his voice from others, (Reincarnated as a Space Mercenary...). Still, he should have narrated "Now I'm a Demon Lord..." and that narrator done this instead. The voice actor from the anime series did not perform this and that's pretty obvious from the difference in portrayal, especially of Arc's heroic public persona. This narrator makes him sound more like a grizzled veteran assassin than a gallant knight.

Spoiler alert, the fact that Arc informs the elves that he's a human, but in a later volume of the series is discovered to be an elf seems like a big retcon. How would you play a game so much that you spend hours daily on it and forget what species your character is? The other issue i have is that there are all of these nuggets of foreshadowing of a potential romantic relationship for Arc, but then, just as it's getting close, the next volume has nothing about that like the events of previous volumes never happened. it's almost like the later volumes were written before the middle volumes and ignored critical details with no intention of following through with the promises made.
