Description
Akira Wato, who had a slip of tongue abroad, caused a foreigner’s wrath and unfortunately hit his head and died. “why!?” The word was “fight”, although it was form of encouragement stemming from good intentions. (In japanese) The goddess, who was sorry he died, decided to have him reincarnated in another world. Lamenting on the language barrier that caused his death, Akira receives one ability from the goddess. That’s “understanding all languages”! Fortunately, Akira is reincarnated as a nobleman, the third son, Jed Clifford. One day Jed notices a voice. It ’s not a human voice but the voices of animals. Jed, who can talk to joyful animals and even monsters such as goblins and orcs, is involved in every problem. “Damn! I understand human words!” “Me too! Did we become more intelligent?” “Hee yeah! We’re goblin kings, right!?” Such a slapstick comedy.

I Can Speak with Animals and Demons Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on I Can Speak with Animals and Demons
"I Can Speak with Animals and Demons" certainly presents a unique premise, and after diving in, I find myself with mixed feelings. It's a story with clear strengths and equally apparent weaknesses, making it a bit of a rollercoaster ride.
First Impressions
The opening is definitely attention-grabbing, though perhaps not always in the best way. The protagonist's less-than-heroic demise sets the stage for his reincarnation, and the initial chapters establish the fantasy world he's now inhabiting. It has a distinct Japanese novel vibe, which can be both a draw and a drawback depending on your preferences.
What Works Well
The core concept – a protagonist who can communicate with animals and demons – is undeniably intriguing. I also appreciate the slice-of-life elements woven into the narrative, offering glimpses into the protagonist's daily life and interactions with his family. His relationships, especially with his sister and mother, were engaging. The translation appears to be well done for the most part, allowing the story to flow smoothly.
Areas of Concern
My biggest reservation lies with the protagonist himself. His naivete, while perhaps intended to be endearing, often comes across as a bit too dense. I had a hard time believing that someone with memories of a past life would take so long to realize his unique ability.
Additionally, the pacing feels somewhat slow, with a significant portion of the early chapters dedicated to establishing the protagonist's childhood. While world-building is important, I felt it could have been accomplished more efficiently.
Final Verdict
"I Can Speak with Animals and Demons" has the potential to be a fun and engaging read, but it's not without its flaws. The unique premise and slice-of-life elements are definite strengths, but the slow pacing and the protagonist's frustrating naivete hold it back. If you're a fan of fantasy novels with a Japanese influence and are willing to be patient with character development, it might be worth checking out. However, if you prefer fast-paced stories with proactive protagonists, this one might not be for you. I'm sitting on the fence with this one. I think I'll give it a couple of weeks and come back to see if more chapters have been released and give it another shot.
