Narrated by: Josh Hurley

Royal Pains

Fran and Teacher finally make it to Ulmutt, where they hear rumor of someone who might know how to unlock a Black Cat's evolution. The catch? She lives at the very bottom of a dangerous dungeon. Meanwhile, the city prepares for the arrival of the formidable Beast King--supreme leader of all the beastmen tribes. With so many key players converging in one place, can Fran find her answers without attracting the wrong kind of attention?

Season 3 material

The second half of volume 2 plus volume 3 and volume 4 would make a great season 2 for the anime. This one however is perfect for the start of season 3. I enjoyed reading it and enjoyed the audiobook too.

couldn't put it down

The performance of the va was well done and the story is very interesting. please hurry to release the rest of the series. I seriously would have bought the whole series after the first book if more was out.

This is where I leave the series.

I am so tired of characters who put up with crap they don't have to. I know its a cultural thing. But even so, im beyong over it.

The story allows full immersion.

I have listened to these books multiple times. They never get old. It’s very well narrated. Teacher actually sounds like the English anime version.

Meh

I loved the anime, so I decided to read the LN. It’s been good so far, but this volume wasn’t great imo. The narrators voice when he laughs or makes sound fx is super annoying, Fran is usually so cool but I’m halfway through this and it’s like she hasn’t learned anything and is borderline just an animal who likes to kill. The worst part is Teacher, at this point he’s just a nagging coward and it’s getting old, he’s like a scared little old lady who’s always wanting to run away. If Fran would grow up some and Teacher would grow a backbone (which you’d think they would have by now in the story) it would be a better story, not sure what the authors thinking was with this volume, I’m hoping things change in the next volume
