I went into the story expecting the usual reincarnated as a monster plot and that’s exactly what we get here. I personally like those plots so the story gets a 5 star from me.
That being said the narrator completely sold the story. Instead of listening to someone reading a book it felt like was actually inside the world, listening to the main character’s journey.
The narrator gets 6 stars from me for going above and beyond the expected role of simply reading the story. They must have read the book through several times to get the right tone of voice and right level of emphasis for each line. They even added some subtle computer generated effects voice effects when appropriate. Way to go!
