About this listen

I have been reborn from an advanced techno-magic world into a world where magic is still in its infancy.

In this new world I have the body of a young baron and my entire worldly possessions are one village—a village surrounded by monsters and hostile aristocrats on the fringes of a young, rapidly expanding empire.

The other thing I have, though, is knowledge beyond what this world has dreamt of, and nothing will stop me from building my own magic empire!

First of all, i did not like the way the narrator emphasizes every sentance as tho it is the most important words uttered every time a character speak. I managed to ignore it after a bit, but it took away some from the enjoyment of the book. I understand this is not the narrators fault as it was the decision to record the book this way.

The story, for me, lacks a main part to focus on. There is so much focus on side problems that we do not get properly introduced to the magic system or get to see some meaningful development of the mc’s town. We get some short answers to what magic is, but not enough to back the ”magic empire“ part of the title.

If you enjoy the way the narrator talks in the preview and dont mind a bit of slow pace at the start, then this is going to be a good series for you. However the town builder and magic empire parts of the story does not see that much light aside form building houses and roads, and using some magic that the mc just knows from his prior life.

A bit all over the place
