Publisher's Summary

Summoned to another world to slay the mighty beast . . . of governance! (And soon to be an anime!)

When Kazuya Souma is unexpectedly transported to another world, he knows the people expect a hero. But Souma's idea of heroism is more practical than most—he wants to rebuild the flagging economy of the new land he's found himself in! Betrothed to the princess and abruptly planted on the throne, this realist hero must gather talented people to help him get the country back on its feet—not through war, or adventure, but with administrative reform!

Excellent listen

The world building and evolution of the story is done very well and the writing during narrative information and speaking to the reader during the chapters is fun and involving

Outstanding but sometimes a bit too slow

Narration was very good but having actual female voices for the female leads would have been better. The story is great but slow build ups which I don’t mind. I got the first 4 audiobook and I’m not disappointed at all. Can’t wait for the others.

Good but different.

I have had the pleasure of reading the manga and watching the anime version. I do love the series and the narration was good but the audio book felt a bit unsatisfying. The narrator does a good job in helping the audience visualize the world and characters. However, while helpful, a lot of time is spent in describing everything. Which made the story shorter and the audio book version felt more like reading a play or script than an actual novel. The audio book version of the series is great, but I think reading the manga or anime is better.
