About this listen

Death is only the beginning!

Kicked out by his family and wandering the streets, an unemployed 34-year-old shut-in thinks he’s hit rock-bottom—just as he’s hit and killed by a speeding truck! Awakening to find himself reborn as an infant in a world of swords and sorcery, but with the memories of his first life intact, Rudeus Greyrat is determined not to repeat his past mistakes. He’s going to make the most of this reincarnation as he sets off on the adventure of a second lifetime!

An amazing book well worth your time. You can tell there is a lot of care taken for the depth of insight into each character.

A well written isekai

Very evenly paced, with a unique and interesting fantasy plot (one of dying in the modern world, and them being reincarnated into a medieval fantasy setting). The simpler writing and strong narration is also very easy to listen to. Highly recommended.

Great sime fantasy story that is very easy to listen to

Cliff clearly has that perfect narrating voice! Very easy to listen to, I occasionally forget how inappropriate the actual story can be, so not best to listen to at a loud volume in a public space. If you enjoy the series, this audiobook is perfect to accompany you while you do other tasks.

Cliff Kirk is a master!

Really different from the anime fill with much mote detail that been left out. I thought i'm going to have difficult time listen to the audiobook with the narrator but you get used to it.

I will preface this, I despise this entire series and hate it because I see it as nothing but a p*dophile power fantasy.

Having said that... This book is good and I hate that it is good.

This book does a great job at writing characters, unlike a lot of other isekais that throw pointless and hollow characters in to fill up the story this book keeps it to a small amount of characters and gives each one a great amount of depth that makes them really come to life, even the characters who are mentioned only once or twice it always strives to give you some sort of defining detail to give them just a bit more life rather then just a name to provide a plot point.

It also is a decently interesting story, I will not gallivant that its some groundbreaking second coming of literature but it is interesting, the magic system is well defined, characters are good, setting is well rounded and actually drives the narrative rather then just being the place where they exist.

My main issue is just the dude is a creep to no ends, he will go out of his way whenever possible to drop the most cringe inducing creepy sentence that screams basement dweller predator. Whenever I'm lured into a sense of security with this oddly good writing it will drop the most abhorrent 2 sentences to make my skin crawl and pull me back out of it.

I will be continuing this series out of wanting to hate listen to it all, but even if I wasn't going to do that, this book does merit one to listen to the 2nd as sadly it is good.

I wanted to hate this.
