And when Menou begins to search for a way to defeat this immortality, Akari is more than happy to tag along! So begins a journey that will change Menou forever...

Fantastic light novel audiobook

Light Novel as audiobook are a difficult sell but this does a good job at making me want more.

The narrator is fantastic and giving the character the anime vibe I imagine in my head. Like the pdf companion which just add more to the audiobook and beinf able to see some of the art.

The story is a journey of a priest and another worlder that control time. Its a journey where it seem the priest is set on being the villain and killing every other worlders and taboo but slowly changing and maybe there something more.

A good premise and a solid narrator.

Flawed but Fun

The plot is a little flawed here and there, and the voice actress makes some of the characters a bit annoying, but overall it is a very creative story and a lot of fun in an over the top anime kind of way. I'm looking forward to the release of the next book in the series.

Meaningful Relationships

Not fan service or fodder for the male audience in the least. All the books and the characters (and arcs) are worth every second. More please!

voice acting was crazy good

There were times when I forgot that Momo's character was the same VA!!! It was so good!

Terrible narrator, uses the wrong name all the way through

I really like the story, I really like the anime (this book goes up to the end of the anime, you need the following books to continue that story), but the narrator and quality control are terrible.

The character's name is Akari. The narrator calls her Akati all the way through. I don't know what terrible typeface they did the script in that she mistook r for t, or where quality control was for not stopping this before she went a few sentences, but this is a great betrayal of the book. For one thing, Akari's full name means then light of time. It's a deliberate meaningful name, for another, it's just sloppy.

In addition to which, the voice the narrator uses for Momo is so grating it makes me want to drive a dagger through my ears. And she occasionally drifts into this voice for Akari too.

I will be avoiding this narrator and all yen press productions in future.
