Finding Avalon: The Quest of a Chaosbringer (Light Novel) #3
Finding Avalon: The Quest of a Chaosbringer Volume 3
The Battle of the Classes draws near, and students must compete inside the dungeon for a weeklong exam to prove their superiority. Rising above their past defeats at the hands of the elitist bullies of the upper classes, the brave Class E students devise a cunning game plan to maximize their odds.
Luckily, they have a secret trump card—Piggy, the overweight and overpowered former villain. His orders are “Tag along with the upper classes, and try not to embarrass us!”
This is perfect for Piggy, not being a fan of the limelight! He can use this opportunity to get to meet the diva of class A, his game-era crush, as well as share diet tips with a newfound armored friend—but a spy in his class is determined to unearth his secrets. That’s the least of his problems, as the mastermind of Class B threatens the students of every class.
Little does Piggy know that his greatest battle awaits him!

With Finding Avalon’s second instalment providing Piggy with much-needed allies, the latest volume will test everything Piggy has learnt as the Battle of the Classes begins.
As one of the most major events in the original game version of Dungeon Explorer Chronicles, The Battle of the Classes makes this volume the most important of the series to date. Set up like an exam, the event serves as the first marker within the academy to decide status and power, both needed by Piggy and the rest of Class E.
Piggy’s role in the battle is to act as Class E’s dungeon diver. Under the estimation of Class E’s leaders, the role is not an important one, and all Piggy has to do is travel far enough through the dungeon to ensure that they don’t get disqualified. Unfortunately, things in fiction are never quite so easy, and Piggy is put on the same team as Class B’s villain, Suou, the heir to the sainthood, Sera, and several Class D thugs.
With Class D’s less-than-subtle antics and the foreshadowing of Suou’s scheme on the horizon, Piggy’s passages give him a lot to do as well as add a nice touch of tension to an event that’s been name-dropped since the very start of the series.
To go alongside an already action-packed volume, without the class president or his family by his side, the story also has Piggy trying to make some new allegiances with the continuance of Tenma and Kuga’s storyline.
Tenma is one of the few rays of hope in an extraordinarily cruel world. Owing to similar bodily circumstances, Piggy and Tenma quickly bond over the different dieting techniques they’ve used. As the volume speeds forward, however, it becomes clear that the bond between them stems from more than just their weight. Tenma is a truly upstanding character. She doesn’t act like the other nobles in the series and uses her judgement to know who to trust and support. This plays well for Piggy, as her friendship will lead to an easier ride through the ranks in the future.
As for Kuga, Piggy’s interactions with her lead to a fraught and shaky alliance. Deciding that having her onside is better than not, the time the two of them spend together raises her suspicions of him even further, and once they get back on the surface, it’ll be interesting to see how the author will handle the inevitable interrogation.
With the third volume signifying the end of the series’ first major event, the author has succeeded in keeping the story fresh and the action on point. This success is largely due to the volume’s uptake in tension. As several antagonists enter the fray, Piggy’s knowledge of the game is tested like never before. Moreover, the continued development of characters such as Tenma and Kuga helps provide a well-rounded read to the story overall.

The story continues. The MC tries to remain passive, focusing on empowering his (new) family while trying to avoid drawing attention. Not everybody falls for it, even more so when the class exam starts which is more of a competition between classes than a real exam.
While a fairly entertaining story at times, the world building is a bit odd. Why have a school that functions so much on unfair competition. Would the rich and powerful need such active screwing off the common people (as opposed to more indirect methods)? It serves no purpose. Although to be fair, I am not entirely sure why this aspect makes me wonder about the world building and not say the existence of dungeons since the early 20th century and how it impact the world history at large. No explanation is given how it kept a class of nobles in power or how WW2 ended the way it did (with the USA never truly defeating Japan and now their being an almost open hostility between the two). Add in the fact the MC only has female friends, and a major cliff hanger, and I give this 2.5 stars rounded up to 3.

Gave it one more chance but painful to read
The mc is obsessed with being perceived as weak to the point that it would honestly be better for him to crawl in a whole and die. Loved the idea of him bettering himself, but he doesn't really do that anymore ethier. No one sticks up for their friends. The pacing makes it seem like theres no real threats. Oh, and the mc never gets over his. "Nobody loves me, and everyone hates me yup its better this way." Fot literally no reason his sister gets to be cooler and better, and it's illegal with no downside, so him the auther is probably just into ntr or something, but I can't keep going.
I hope if you are enjoying this, it continues for you because the premise is kinda cool.

A little bit of a slog. But the last part makes up for everything.
