Blast off to adventure!

When Satou Takahiro is swept away from his ordinary life into the world of his favorite video game, a universe of space battles, interstellar colonies, and danger in the vastness of outer space awaits.

Soon, he's living as "Hiro" the mercenary, with a tricked-out spaceship and a babe on each arm! There are space pirates to fight, girls to rescue, and trouble to get into (and hopefully out of). Hiro is going to live his new life to the fullest!

easy to list on to

good clean audio easy to hear fun to listen to and you sound like you have fun reading it to us

Great story but subpar narration

This is a great story. An isekai in space!

The only problem is that the narration is kinda bad. The narrator doesn't seem to have much range and resorts to talk through clenched teeth for too many characters, making them sound like they are snarling with anger.

That being said, I"ll take what I can get. I love the fact that more light novels are getting audio versions now. I absolutely love light novels, and this gives me the option to listen to some of my favorites while driving or in the background while doing other things.

Pleasant Gem

Fred Berman is easily one of my top ten narrators, so I knew the performance would be 👍🏾. the story caught me off guard and was very pleasant and good! Now I have to buy credits to continue this journey!

Pretty Solid

This was actually pretty fun to listen to. The way he handled the misunderstanding with each of the girls was a bit cringey, but at least we didn't have to listen to any sexual details, since those always end up sounding like the fevered imaginings of a sixteen year old virgin. I mean, this is still teenage wish fulfillment fantasy, but sometimes it's good just to indulge in some junk food now and then.

The intro and outro are amazing

Love the story but the intro and outro music just build anticipation for starting and completing the novel. 10/10 narrator on point, interesting story, loved the whole production.
