About this listen
Having returned from the Star Dragon Mountain Range, Souma heads to the next destination on his diplomatic tour, the Republic of Turgis. While he is there to investigate the possibility of forming cordial relations with a neighbor they currently have no interaction with, Souma finds his attention drawn to the high level of the local blacksmiths, and a plan occurs to him.
Sensing that state level negotiations will be necessary to make his plan a reality, he succeeds in arranging a meeting with the republic's head of state. In order to make the negotiations fruitful, Souma demonstrates the kingdom's power to the republic.
"I will show the republic the 'gain' to be had from working with us, and the 'threat' to make them hesitate to oppose us."
Can Souma's secret plan move the republic?!

Seventeen-year-old Hajime Nagumo is your average, everyday otaku. However, his simple life of pulling all-nighters and sleeping in school is suddenly turned upside down when he, along with the rest of his class, is summoned to a fantasy world! They're treated like heroes and tasked with the duty of saving the human race from utter extinction. But what should have been any otaku's wet dream quickly turns into Hajime's nightmare. While the rest of his class are blessed with godlike powers, Hajime's job, Synergist, only has a single transmutation skill.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

I'll be honest, the book is worth the credits if you're a fan of the series. yeah you'll probably complain about one or two plot points but overall it was a very good book and I'd recommended.

A very good series well done
The Realist Hero series is one of the best entries in this genre and the story in this volume takes us to another nation and shows Soma once again trying to find a workable solution to the issues his poor kingdom (but getting wealthier each day) faces.

Solid continuation of the other volumes.
I enjoyed this volume while it is not as high-packed as the earlier volumes. I still say this is a very worth listening to because it shows a lot of character development and relationships between all the main side characters. But one thing you will learn is that they were family. Family is important. Family, family, family. This series comes second to the fast and the furious when it comes to the need of family.

the series continues to build on itself without telling the same story over and over.
This is a refreshing take on the isekai genre that continues to introduce new concepts and characters without being overwhelming. The protagonist is flawed enough and recognizes his own flaws in a realistic humility. The only point I can say I do not like about the books is more my fault than anything else, since I've been listen to all the books in quick succession, I tend to drift out during the frequent recaps. I do not need to hear "This is the same light moss that is used in the street lamps" again.

The long epilogue saved a wasted chapter
The previous book was so good that it felt like a culmination of all the previous entries. I really hope it because a feature length film however this entry completely hides in its shadow. virtually no personal or relational growth happened. and the southern continent and its people were utterly underwhelming. though like stated above, the epilogue was what I really wanted for this chapter and it did not disappoint.
