Assassinated King, Volume 1

By: Michael Plymel

Narrated by: Mason Born, Kat Riley

A Reincarnation Isekai Light Novel.

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.

At least, it would be simple for someone like Lucian, if it weren't for the God's Acolyte who's wreaking havoc in his new world. Not to mention the numerous other powerful players who don't really hold the crown prince in high regard.

With a blade lurking behind every corner, can Lucian even survive long enough to see the crown placed on his head?

Action, magic, and intrigue. And a cute foxgirl companion, of course.

a great book

The opening was very good . The back story helps in the reasons for his actions . Now he will have to get more help he can trust

Good story

The story I thought was great narrators were also very good . The male narrator has a higher voice than I was used to as an mc but he was excellent . A great production all around

it dragged on

the jump from Slice of life to battles was seamless. However, the chapters in those scenes took so long with little intrigue. It was not exciting, the battle was so boring and it felt like it would never end. I am on the fence if there is a vol. 2.

Pretty good story, not so good performance.

Decent story, characters were a bit thin. The male voice was constantly rushing the story by speaking in, what I feel is, an extremely fast pace. Multiple times throughout the recording the male reader's audio would repeat because his retakes were left in unedited. As well as the male reader not reading ahead and parcing sentences extremely badly, i.e. stopping a sentence before the sentence actually ends and then realizing they needed to continue the sentence. The female reader was great with little to no issues, I love audiobooks where there are two separate people.

a fun interesting story

the voice acting and characterization of the characters was very good i loved emilia and the female va in how she did everything
