About this listen

Arden was left in the village by a dying mage, who never returned. With no way out of the village on his own, he had always held onto the hope that one day his magic would awaken and give him access to his spheres.

But he’s about to turn eighteen and it’s never come. Instead, he’s settled into his lot as a sarcastic and quick-witted innkeeper.

That all changes one night when his old flame, who escaped the village to become a mage’s anchor, returns.

Ard’s life is about to go through some dramatic changes, and he’s not ready for them.

Too bad, with magic comes responsibility and Ard needs to adapt quickly because he’s making more enemies than friends with his glib tongue. Thankfully, he’s got some help along the way.

Because he’ll need it. As the most powerful mage in the nation, he’s about to be thrown headfirst into the elite of the kingdom and a few jokes won’t stop a sword.

The male voice actor nailed the witty humour throughout the story. The overall story was very enjoyable and I can’t wait to listen to the next book

Really good book

Hyper focusing on LITRPG and knowing the author indulges on this genre occasionally, having enjoyed another series, I started listening to this book. Although not LITRPG it follows the tropes without the stats. it's a good read/listen, has some spiciness (not FTB) and a world in mystery and an realistic link to its progressive magic system.

My only complaint was that I didn't really feel like the power levels, magical power limiting factors and the 'feeling' of use were conveyed in a way that I could truly understand, comprehend and imagine.

still good book because I finished it and that means it entertained me enough to keep my attention. That being the cruel mistress of my form of nuerodiversity is impressive.

Not my usual but it's good

What impresses the most here is the performance from the narrators. They do a incredible job. They really make the story come alive and the banter between the characters are hilarious and witty. The story is also great, thou i think i'd preferred it to not be HaremLit, i'd prefer a normal one... probably ^^

It reminds me alot of a good old ecchi/harem anime, BUT with the twist the MC isn't a complete dounce... Hallelujah! Throw in a excellent dab of slapstick comedy and witty banter and this is one of the better listens i've found.

NOTE: I'm writing this after listening to the 3rd Book, and it's a summarize of all 3 books.

Super performance,interesting story and very funny
