About this listen
I was the most powerful healer in my world—the best, having devoted my entire life to mastering the art of healing. And yet, for whatever reason, my brother feared that I sought to claim his throne, and he marshaled his forces against me.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, all the same I'd been planning on trying out a certain ritual and now . . .
I'm in another world altogether!? And this body I'm inhabiting, well, it's not mine, but some young guy's! And what's it mean that in this world the gift of the healer is downright pathetic?
Apparently, they simply don't know how to handle power.
Well, I'll show them . . .

sounds a good read

Now the narration.
It's read as though by an AI. but a cheap AI with no idea about English grammar. the inflections are out of place and although understandable it's really weird.

The only problem is that once the start is over and the MC enters the world proper, the entire plot and all tension is just thrown out the window as the MC decides "I'm not strong enough yet, the girl won't be impressed at my appearance" so he just doesn't go as if this is some LITRPG where the NPC mods won't attack if not engaged. Well this isn't and the story just dies as the MC decides to harvest vitality by going Murderhobo by luring criminals to attack him so he can kill them with a clear conscience.
The plot is so derailed by this that the author has to introduce new perspectives of people who are actually doing plot productive things as literally everything that the MC is doing is side story aside for the one time he goes to look at the home of the person he is protecting. He doesn't introduce himself he just goes to look which leads to a fight then he leaves as if he is Batman.
All the plot threads from the first chapters are just thrown away. None of those characters having any relevance anymore beside one who reveals the MC helped them offscreen as the author tries to claw some sense of closure as the train wrecked plot comes to an end.
All of the situations that the MC is in after the first third of the book are entirely his own fault and are of absolutely no relevance to the main plot in any way there is no tension at all as he just walks through low life thugs, honourless sailor, hardened criminals or dimension invading slavers. It should be impossible to mess up dimension invading slavers but this book does it.
The author has to resort to using children and animals to inject pathos into the writing, literally there are three separate plot threads that involve a child that the MC helps with his actions because he is a nice guy that brutally kills criminals and three separate instances of animal care to inspire feels, all in an attempt to trick you into forgetting that there is no plot to be found.
The ending is the worst as the plot issues just slap you in the face. There is no cliffhanger. The story just ends. In medias res. It is clear that this book was written as a longer manuscript and was hacked into chunks to sell piecemeal. Only problem is that manuscript wasn't written to be piecemealed and this chunk is too small, the entire book is only 17 chapters and reads like the first act to a 70 chapter slow burner novel.
Don't waste your money on this, wait for an omnibus where the pieces are put together.
A Piecemealed Mess
