    Reincarnated as a Sword is probably my favorite LN but it admittedly does start out a bit slow. I think it starts to separate itself in book 3 and really starts to shine by book 5. Also, I don’t do audio books but I imagine the narrator can make or break a book.

      Yeah, I will continue it. I will probably switch to reading rather than listening as I find I only retain 50% of it when listening and working at the same time.

      I imagine the narrator can make or break a book.

      Yeah, some narrators are so bad that I will drop it immediately, alway listen to the sample when buying audiobooks.

      This narrator isn’t bad and I got use to him after a while, it was just a big change from Teachers English Dub VA. (It was the same with Spice and Wolf, Holos VA was the same for the audiobook and English Dub, but the audiobook didn’t have the haughtiness the anime did.)

      Also the VA does Frans hmpt very well.
