In depth story

At first the story seems to go all over the place forward reverse in time. However, it starts making sense and gets very interesting. The characters get well developed, and you get back stories peppered throughout the book on each one of the MMC’s wives. I hope the MC’s family history is more regaled in book 2.

Great fantasy story

Very enjoyable Harem style fantasy/light litRPG. the grim reaper offers a man another chance at life. this time he leaves earth and goes to a fantasy realm with his succubus and meets more women along the way including the daughter of death himself. if this sounds entertaining to you then you will definitely enjoy this story.

really good

The story feels like a light novel and is FTB but honestly it was entertaining and fun will definitely get the next one

Great book and great narration

I actually own a copy of this book, and have read it several times. It is one of my favorite books.

Then, I found the audio book. I think I have listened to it three times since I acquired the book. Yes, it is that good. At least in my opinion. It is well worth a listen.

The narrator does a very good gob of bringing the book to life.

great story to a classic anime cliché

Hard to keep up with as a first time audio listener but after taking time to process the book, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
