Surprised how much I enjoyed this

The story is pretty good. I don’t typically appreciate hardcore sex scenes in books. They tend to make me uncomfortable. Mostly because I start thinking about what the narrators are thinking when reading them. Do they get embarrassed?

Anyhow, I rather enjoyed the book overall. I found the premise interesting enough. The narrators were pretty good. Raya Kane in particular did a great job with all of the different accents she had to keep track of.

There are a handful of glitches in the dialog in the 3rd book, repeating lines or lines in the wrong spot. However, they don’t really detract from the overall story.

The hero was irritating to say the least.

This book had both good and bad parts. Most was good but the hero was pretty stupid. He constantly didn’t do things, left items behind, said stupid things, didn’t learn until repeatedly failed before the lesson was picked up, he didn’t pick up on the pattern of thought which was clear to everyone but him, and he couldn’t read the room at all. This could have been much better with a better hero. You couldn’t explain away his stupidity due to his coming from another world. His was just that stupid. It made the book hard to read. I found I was yelling at the hero during the audio book playing because I couldn’t believe he was that stupid. If you read this be prepared.

book 3 killed me

his inability to use abilities he's used consistently earlier in the series pisses me off. but that's a book 3 issue.

SO so book

TO be clear, the story was ok, slow in parts, but with a title with " Isekai" in it, I was expecting more of a story, and a lot less sex. The sex scenes just took away from the story. If the author had taken more time to fill in the slow parts with story, instead of trying to distract the listener with all of the bedroom talk. It would have been a better book

Amazing

I absolutely love this series so much and I am so glad there is a bundle for the audio!
