Ratings and reviews

Unfortunately, I found the narration to be terrible and near impossible to follow. The whole thing sounded like one long, run-on sentence. It was rushed and the delineation between characters was weak, making the story difficult - and annoying - to follow.

声好し。ナレーションのフレージング絶妙！これを「完璧」と言わずして何と言おう。わたしは最高の讃辞をもってこのナレーターを讃えたい。
