Summary
At long last， the original light novels for the fan-favorite isekai hit！
An unemployed otaku has just reached the lowest point in his life。 He wants nothing more than the ability to start over， but just as he thinks it may be possible…he gets hit by a truck and dies！ Shockingly， he finds himself reborn into an infant’s body in a strange new world of swords and magic。
His identity now is Rudeus Greyrat， yet he still retains the memories of his previous life。 Reborn into a new family， Rudeus makes use of his past experiences to forge ahead in this fantasy world as a true prodigy—gifted with maturity beyond his years and a natural born talent for magic。 With swords instead of chopsticks， and spell books instead of the internet， can Rudeus redeem himself in this wondrous yet dangerous land？

Some quick thoughts after listening to the Mushoku Tensei 3 audiobook （Japanese） Written by Rifujin na Magonote Narrated by Ayumi ItoEnjoyment:Well， this definitely is the best volume of the series so far。 I really had fun listening to all 9 hours of it。Japanese:Well， this is an audiobook completely in Japanese， how difficult was it to understand？ Definitely more difficult than the first two books。 It may be because I watched the anime that covered the first two books and about half of the third Some quick thoughts after listening to the Mushoku Tensei 3 audiobook （Japanese） Written by Rifujin na Magonote Narrated by Ayumi ItoEnjoyment:Well， this definitely is the best volume of the series so far。 I really had fun listening to all 9 hours of it。Japanese:Well， this is an audiobook completely in Japanese， how difficult was it to understand？ Definitely more difficult than the first two books。 It may be because I watched the anime that covered the first two books and about half of the third one。 I was already used to the story so the parts I already knew weren't that complex， but the ones I didn't were definitely harder to get at times。Thoughts:The narrator of this audiobook: Ayumi Ito， did an amazing job as always， so nice to listen to。The verdict:Well， this one took me quite a while to finish， there was a time I was really into audiobooks but pretty quickly fell out of it。 As for the contents of this book， definitely the best one so far， I really enjoy this series。 I don't know if I'll listen to more of the audiobooks， but if I continue reading this series in any form it may take me a while。I would rate this volume an 8/10， pretty good。 。。。more

I'm reading these light novels because the anime adaptation became my favorite series of this anime season。 It's been a weird， but great winter for anime。 This series， part of the last season of "Attack on Titan"， "Jujutsu Kaisen"， the second season of "Tensei Shitara Slime"， "Kemono Jihen"， "Kumo Desu ga， Nani ka"， etc。 I also enjoyed to a certain extent "Horimiya" （although the protagonist infuriated me most of the time） and "Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun"。 The second half of the second season of "R I'm reading these light novels because the anime adaptation became my favorite series of this anime season。 It's been a weird， but great winter for anime。 This series， part of the last season of "Attack on Titan"， "Jujutsu Kaisen"， the second season of "Tensei Shitara Slime"， "Kemono Jihen"， "Kumo Desu ga， Nani ka"， etc。 I also enjoyed to a certain extent "Horimiya" （although the protagonist infuriated me most of the time） and "Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun"。 The second half of the second season of "Re:Zero"， a story I must like quite a bit given the fanfiction I wrote of it， was the most forgettable for me， and I even had issues getting through some episodes in one go。 I'd much rather have "Mushoku Tensei"'s odd， perverted， self-aware narrative that doesn't takes itself too seriously。 I even enjoyed "Redo of Healer"， the hugest， most ridiculous edgelord in a long time， more than "Re:Zero" this season， which makes me sad。This entire volume comprises the events of the last three episodes or so released as of March of 2021。 Spoilers for those who haven't been following it nor have read the previous volumes， although I have no clue why you would be reading these words otherwise。 In any case， the first act of this story ended when a massive mana disaster engulfed our three main characters at that point: our perverted protagonist Rudy Greyrat （a forty something years old guy from another world who was born again in this fantasy land， and is currenty in a ten years old body）， his distant relative Eris （a twelve years old， violent redhead whom Rudy wants to do perverted things with/to）， and Ghislaine （a voluptuous， kind of dumb， hardcore sword fighter who is also half-wolf or something， and whose ass is made of steel）。 Instead of dying， that mana disaster warped the characters into two different areas of that world。 Ghislaine got sent to the south of the central continent， but both Rudy and Eris ended up in the demon continent， which is mostly a wasteland full of monsters。Unfortunately， the anime adaptation rushed through this volume to end the season with the cliffhanger of them reaching the coast of the continent。 Although the anime hit the major points， such as them meeting Roxy's parents， learning the cursed history of the Superd （the last member of that feared race we learned about back in the first volume is now acting as Rudy's and Eris' bodyguard）， them becoming adventurers backed by the local guild in order to earn enough money and also gain some positive reputation for the Superd guy， them getting driven out of their first demon city because of some blackmailing and Ruijerd （the Superd guy） getting recognized， eventually reaching the edge of the continent to eventually get on a boat， etc。 However， the adaptation left out interesting stuff。 The light novel follows them through some grinding as they learn how to fight as a team。 We witness Rudy's cunning as he figures out the logistics and the pros and cons of not only making money in that strange world， but also having to deal with a group of kidnappers， other parties of adventurers， as well as Bojack Horseman。The rush to fit the entire volume in three episodes or so made some stuff not make much sense。 I can't remember all the examples， but we are introduced to quite a few more monsters than the ones shown in the adaptation， and one of those monsters is the one that kills a young member of a party of adventurers that our protagonists had been dealing with。 Both in the light novel and the adaptation the bird-like guy is cleaved in two， and sails through the air until he hits a tree， dying immediately。 In the anime adaptation he was hit by a huge serpent， and I recall thinking that there was no attack it could have made to cleave the guy in two。 In the light novel version it's a sort of zombie knight who cleaves the bird guy in two with a greatsword。 Ruijerd gets mad shortly after with Rudy because he could have prevented the death if Rudy hadn't been thinking of how much more beneficial it would be to sweep in and help when the other party was in deep trouble。 In the anime， Ruijerd calms down too suddenly， as if he had just realized that this other party of adventurers were fellow warriors and not some kids he had to babysit。 In the light novel the conversation takes a while， and Ruijerd brings up that Rudy must have wanted to stay aside to protect the other guys' pride as warriors。 Rudy doesn't want to correct him， and he has to carry that guilt and the knowledge that in the future some gulf might open between their very different perspectives that will end up with Ruijerd getting fed up and leaving them， or worse。There were plenty of other instances that were changed in the anime adaptation for no particular reason。 There's a moment in which the leader of this other party of adventurers tries to flirt with Eris， only for the girl to end up beating the guy to a pulp， as well as the other two members of the guy's team。 In the adaptation she only hits the main guy （whom I thought was a girl）， and the other two just stare in terror， even though in the light novel they defended themselves。 There's plenty of odd changes like this。This series might have been the one who started the trend of isekai with a scumbag protagonist， and Rudy hasn't changed that much from the selfish pervert he started out as。 Although his behavior towards the twelve years old Eris isn't as predatory as before， partly thanks to witnessing her crying her eyes out from fear and despair on their first night on the demon continent， he still tries to spy on her when she takes showers， he sniffs her panties and such stuff that someone with the mind of a forty something years old guy probably shouldn't do， particularly with a twelve years old girl。 At this point of the story， though， we get two awkward moments in which Eris licks her own palm where Rudy had licked it before （she has developed a crush on him， even though she's too much of a kid yet to understand what's happening to her）， and also sniffs Rudy's underwear， maybe to figure out what's the deal with all this sniffing business。 The worst examples of the protagonist's dubious nature， though， was stuff like suggesting that if he were blackmailing his own party （which he had to think about， because some other guy was）， he would have used it to take advantage of Eris。 However， this is a series in which we aren't supposed to sympathize with the protagonist that much。 He makes quite a few bad calls， and only occasionally some genuine remorse， regret and the wish to become a better person shine through。A detail that the anime hasn't put too explicitly is that the mana disaster that teleported those three main characters didn't just affect them: literally the entire region disappeared， became a crater of sorts， and all the living beings on it were teleported randomly。 That includes everyone in Roa （the city where Rudy was teaching）， so Eris' family， as well as everyone in Buena Village， so Rudy's family as well as Sylphie。If "Mushoku Tensei" didn't have such a reputation as the respected grandfather of the modern isekai genre， I would be worried， because I preferred the events and the vibe of the first act of the story， all that family and growing up and teaching business。 The moment the mana disaster hit and the scenario changed， the story moved towards sort of generic isekai stuff， although I can hardly fault "Mushoku Tensei" for it， given that other series inspired by MT （such as "Konosuba"， "Re:Zero"， and many others） featured plenty of its elements， even most of the rules of how the Adventurers Guild worked， as if it was a kind of extended universe thing。 In any case， I'm very fond of this series， and from now on we get into territory that the anime adaptation hasn't had time to cover。Some moments from this part of the anime adaptation:-First night on the demon continent-Eris beats up an innocent adventurer-Rudy's self-interest causes bird guy to die-The gang fighting some snake monster-Bojack Horseman craps his pants 。。。more

Fairly slow for the most part， but lots of good world building and the last third was great。

Like the storyI like the story but the price is too high to keep buying them。 I will have to find other books like this one that is a reasonable price。 Ten dollars a book adds up。 Good book for those who can afford it。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 節奏感和懸念把握得較好，爽文套路吸引人讀下去。買賣時貨比三家等細節比較有趣。冒險者公會有 MMORPG 的時代感。宏大的世界觀可能比較完整跟嚴密，但是這裏還不能完全看出來。故事發展一段時間之後突然強行發生大災難，從而開啓魔大陸篇章，生硬至極，讓人很不舒服；只能寄希望於後面能給出非此不可的理由，才可能略微補救一點。人物塑造乏善可陳：男主角在第一部晉升水聖級之後，無論在戰鬥、智識還是人品上都毫無長進；艾莉絲性情大變，但可謂突兀；瑞傑路德像一個四十歲的木訥老兵，與其風起雲涌的五百年大起大落境遇格格不入。戰鬥描寫薄如蟬翼。Kobo 和 Google Play 等地可以買到，很貴。

I rarely read more than one or max two books in a series without mixing in another book or two before I return to the series in question。 With Mushoku Tensei I have read three volumes in a row and am ready to pick up volume three later today。 That says something about how much I am enjoying these books。

Volumen 3Me gustó más a la hora de hablar y mostrar el mundo y lo gigante que es， la cantidad de cosas que tiene， pero tiene un par de cliches que espero en el futuro tengan un sentido dentro de la historia y no sean un "paso porque paso y ya esta" o porque "se le ocurrió al autor y ya"， que no soy muy fan de estos ultimos， si no mas de tener reglas y una biblia concisa en la que el autor pueda basarse de su propio mundo sin salirse de sus limites， espero que en el futuro tenga explicacion， pero Volumen 3Me gustó más a la hora de hablar y mostrar el mundo y lo gigante que es， la cantidad de cosas que tiene， pero tiene un par de cliches que espero en el futuro tengan un sentido dentro de la historia y no sean un "paso porque paso y ya esta" o porque "se le ocurrió al autor y ya"， que no soy muy fan de estos ultimos， si no mas de tener reglas y una biblia concisa en la que el autor pueda basarse de su propio mundo sin salirse de sus limites， espero que en el futuro tenga explicacion， pero aun asi， es muy interesante y no se a donde pueda llegar esta historia que parece un Slice of Life pero de un Iseaki con un worldbuilding inmenso， muy interesante y con ganas de seguir。 。。。more

This volume adds a lot of world building we get to hear about some interesting races and meet a few interesting characters and some world history as well， we're getting a hint at the larger picture of what's really going on in this world。 We also get to see our main character go out and adventure in the world but without the usually school and build up tropes and is mostly thrown right into it。 Overall it's a good continuation of the story and if you've liked it so far you will enjoy this one。 This volume adds a lot of world building we get to hear about some interesting races and meet a few interesting characters and some world history as well， we're getting a hint at the larger picture of what's really going on in this world。 We also get to see our main character go out and adventure in the world but without the usually school and build up tropes and is mostly thrown right into it。 Overall it's a good continuation of the story and if you've liked it so far you will enjoy this one。 。。。more
