About this listen
Disillusioned businessman, John Lawrence Locke, finds himself summoned as a hero to another world, filled with monsters and magic! With his body reverted to the age of 15, the 33-year-old's mind is filled with the possibility of battles and adventures, like the ones in his favorite video games.
Unfortunately for him, life isn't always so convenient. Betrayed by the very people who summoned him, he's condemned as the False Hero and forced to flee for his life. Alone in an unfamiliar world and hunted by all of humanity, he takes on the alias of Lutz and uses his gaming knowledge to quickly adapt to the world's strangely game-like mechanics.

Eizo is a middle-aged, overworked software engineer who loves cats. One night after working late, he saves an injured cat from a speeding truck. The cat survives, but Eizo does not... Luckily, that cat turns out to be a god-like being who offers him a second chance in another world! Eizo decides that he wants a slower life, one where he can live off the things he creates with his own hands. So, why not become a blacksmith? He does have one other stipulation: a cat companion for his quiet life.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Alex, an avid fan of fantasy, chooses the latter and is thrown through a black portal into a world he never could have imagined.

Getting reincarnated in another world populated by humans, demi-humans, and mythical beasts is certainly not the turn I thought my life was going to take. I especially didn’t expect to be carried off by a wolf and given into the care of a one-armed former knight. Now, I’m trying to repay him by rebuilding the family inn and healing his arm with alchemy.

Falling through a portal and becoming a dragon shifter was strange enough. But, when I devoured a demon core and gained access to a forbidden quest system, my life changed forever. Sintar was like Earth in many ways. It had a blue sky, green grass, and air that I could breath. The demon attacks and shifter magic, however, were new. Every man and woman in Sintar had the ability to change their form. And now, that included me. And the gorgeous, silver-haired wolf girl I saved on my first day.

Getting assassinated sucks. Just ask Thomas, a man from Earth who made a few too many enemies. Or you could ask Lucian, the crown prince of another world who met a similar fate. But if you were to ask either of them, then you'd actually be asking the same man, as Thomas' soul was crammed into Lucian's body during their simultaneous assassinations. The Goddess who reincarnated him didn't do it for free, though. She tasked Lucian with the simple quest of saving the Almekian Kingdom from the brink of collapse.

Story
All of the stories you've heard are wrong. They always tell you that starting a new life in a fantasy world is an amazing experience, full of magic, adventure, and true love...but they never tell you what happens when it's over. They don't tell you that it just happens again. And again. By the time you start your third new life in a row, all of that initial amazement wears off. That's where Lux finds himself now: dropped into yet another fantasy world, forced to restart his life all over again. He wants nothing more than to disappear...but it seems the world has other plans for him.

Excellent story
It’s an excellent story but a little bit simplistic and taken a lot from some other anime series. If it continues like this then it will definitely be an excellent Book series, I look forward to the next book.

My Experience With This Title
I really enjoyed this title. The narration was ok. The story was good. Similar to the Shield Hero but not quite as good. I like the characters and the intermission. The real problem with this title is the cost vs. the length of the product. In my opinion. Light Novels should be no less than an 8 hour listen if not more. The story needed more story. Other than that I have no real complaints. I would recommend this title to Light Novel fans.

Pretty good
I like the ending and hope the next book goes in that direction. The basic premise behind it seems to be like rise of the shield hero, but I think it is different enough that it could be really good.

simple yet finely executed
for what amount to just an other isekai story this one show it hand as heavely inspired by sheild hero. However for what it is it very well executed with its own spin on the tried and true formula.

Stumbles
I quite enjoyed this.
Narrator does a good job for the most part tho it's almost like he is one breath away from stumbling lines most of the way through this and the following books.

very good start
The narrator did a fantastic job. I greatly enjoyed this story. I definitely don't want to spoil anything for anybody. I usually grade on a curve for the beginning of any series which can be a little rough, but I'm happy to say in this instants that was not the case. It was just a really well thought out story as far as I could tell and I'm very happy that the next volume is already out in audio form. I'm moving on right onto the next volume now. Trust me it's worth your time.
