A relaxing listen

It was a good story. The main weakness is that this very much is a slice of life with only a little bit of conflict. This is a common problem with some light novels, but the characters manage to help the story stay interesting. We will have to see how later books change and add conflict/drama. I shall look forward to seeing that.

Awesome

Love the story of a nice guy getting a second chance at being able to help all the people he can!

Story and narrator

Both are great. It was a match meant to be. For those that like light novels it’s something’s a nice thing to get a good narrator. Though to get one that can match the Mc that well is rather like finding a diamond in the rough.

Slime and adventure

Anime or book you will love this series it’s a slice of life with slimes and adventure

Karma brake

I appreciated the reveal of what what's happening back on earth tothe people left behind though the mention of divine protection being no longer provided was kinda ominous
