Fun and worth a listen

This was a fun book, a bit short for my taste but overall I felt it was worth a credit.

If you enjoy anime-type stories, then you'll probably enjoy this book.

The narrators were fantastic and did an excellent job.

A good book but

Honestly I enjoy the book a lot, though I will admit I was/am debating on it being a 3 star.

I like the characters, the world sounds interesting though I think we need more details to flush it out. Same with the magic in like how there is healers,elemantists and a few other types though I hope each are explored a bit further.
I also hope the main character continues as is, he is powerful I just hope it doesn't to go to far.

my main issue really is how fast things developed, yes it's a shorter book which is fine. but how quickly some events happened felt a bit off. The reason i bumped it to four stars is because none of the events are to major this time so I felt it was a good starter book.

I look forward to continue listening to more of this series.

great start to a series

I liked the story and writing the unique characters are refreshing. i cant wait to purchase number 2. with great narrators and refreshing stories I think this series will be fun to listen

I am giving a good review, however...

I liked the premise of the story. It felt a little short, but it did deliver the feeling it promised on the description. Narration was excellent to the point that I wasn't really even thinking about the narrators, as I usually do, but just enjoyed the story they were telling.

Somehow I do feel like something was lacking from the story. Maybe it's my preference on overpowered main characters, but it felt like the mc wasn't using his power nearly enough. I guess you could have different rules explaining this behaviour or saying some character attributes or personal failings with the mc caused this. I personally had a million different ideas on how he could use his power in the wilds or even just experiment with it.

I like the fact that the mc was written in a way that prevents him from showing of his powers too much, but I wish that when he can, he would be more... awesome(?). The title gave the feeling of an op caster, but so far the feeling I have of the mc is of an unimaginative confused kid who is just going with the motions and somehow has no idea how magic could maybe be used (no games, no fantasy books, no fantasy movies? where did this kid live?)

I like the archer, although her constant "anger" at things seems a bit unexplained. Hopefully further stories will expand on this more than just "she lost tom".
The biggest lost opportunity is that the healer seems an empty shell of a mary sue. Only existing to fill out the needs of the mc. No real devotion to gods is really shown in actions, only in words and she accepted easily the fact the her wish for help in the form of a mage came true, but then was surprised the god came to say hi. Also, why would the god care? The healer doesn't seem that devout... maybe in the next book we will learn.
I do enjoy the orc dude with two shield and the agenda of showing the world that orc can be kind and civilized by bashing peoples heads in with two shield! I do wish he also had more interesting things like fun hobbies such as poetry or knowledge of history or cooking or something fancy. Just to give him more character.

To summarize. It was good, but too short to make anything that happened matter to the reader. The book does not stand well alone and clearly needs more "episodes". It feels like the first part of a cheap tv series. I want to love it, but so far I just think it's good.

I am going to give the second book a chance. But with so many great books out there, some of which the same author wrote, "good" just doesn't cut it anymore.

absolutely great

I absolutely loved it. I was waiting a while on this book series to be started on audible, and now I just have the slow simmering wait unlike the slow wait of wondering if the stoves even been lit, lol.

Magical Other World

A regular guy becomes a illegal mage in a parallel universe. He joins a adventure guild "Shadow Foxes" who are down on their luck. With his magic he helps his newly made friends kill monsters and gain bounty to make a name for themselves within the guild ranks. An entertaining start to this series. Ends on a cliff hanger to make you need to read the next book to see what happens next. Definitely not a stand alone novel. I would recommend if you enjoy fantasy dungeon fighting books.

Small spoilers ahead

Bases of this story u have a crap life so u go somewhere new to restart it get sucked in to a couple mayor quest impregnate ur friends and make off into the sunset a badass mage and god. In truth it's a great story from start to end and keeps a good pace with a wrap up in the end. Thanx for the adventure.

Good story

Interesting story telling. The male narrator takes some getting used to and there are one or two audio level changes, but its an enjoyable listen with a decent mc and cast.

Great start!

Interesting story, loving the characters. cant wait to listen to the next one. Well done!

Over dramatic reading

Daniel did a bit of an over dramatic reading for most of the book, an ok job overall.
