About this listen

 ONE BIG FAT LIE AND A FEW TWISTED TRUTHSEven in his past life, Cid’s dream wasn’t to become a protagonist or a final boss. He’d rather lie low as a minor character until it’s prime time to reveal he’s a mastermind…or at least, do the next best thing—pretend to be one! And now that he’s been reborn into another world, he’s ready to set the perfect conditions to live out his dreams to the fullest. Armed with his overactive imagination, Cid jokingly recruits members to his organization and makes up a whole backstory about an evil cult that they need to take down. Well, as luck would have it, these imaginary adversaries turn out to be the real deal—and everyone knows the truth but him! Dark Fantasy Fantasy Dream

pretty fun isekai though hardly brilliant or surprising, it is worth it for both performance and story, even when it is at its worst it is still funny to listen to

After seen the anime and reading the manga I wanted to know the full length of the Novel to fill gaps, and it did not disappoint at all.
the story idea is very captivating, having some humour in a dark world is very refreshing. you get the all transfers in another world, magic etc...
definitely be looking for volume 2 audiobook
