There's some interesting developments in this latest arc, but I can't say anything, otherwise I would spoil it. I thought the plot was going in a very specific direction, but then Omori surprised me with where he was really taking things. Characters from the Sword Oratoria spinoff are beginning to intersect as well, and I have so many questions about some of the characters and groups.
Bell is still being a blockhead, but that's to be expected in a Japanese light novel. I was a little disappointed that Aiz wasn't present in the story. Apart from a single mention and one quick scene from here viewpoint, but the author in his Afterward has promised she will be in the next issue, so I guess I can't gripe too much, but I'd just like to see more development between Bell and Aiz. I mean, we are on volume 9 after all, but Omori seems to be taking his sweet ol' time with things. There was also very little development on Freya's side of things. I guess it would be repetitive if she caused Bell problems in every volume, but that hasn't been the case. Regardless, it's always fun to watch!

If there is one thing I didn't like about this book -- it is the first of two parts. And that's not enough to ding it. I had been reading the spin off books (Sword Oratoria) more than the main line and something happened in book 10 that threw me for a loop so I knew I had to stop those for a bit and do some catch up. Volume 9 is the beginning of that spoiler and what a spoiler it was. Even knowing the bit I knew this book was not quite what I was expecting, but in a good way. I have a bunch of other things on my to-be-read pile but may have to promote volume 10 of DanMachi up there so I can find out what's going on!
For me Omori delivered another solid entry and I'm anxious for more.

O autor criou um plot twist muito interessante nesse volume e que muda completamente o futuro da obra. Mas a história ainda continua arrastada em certos momentos e o desenvolvimento de alguns personagens são bem fracos. Espero que o autor trabalhe melhor esses fatores nos próximos volumes.

This is clearly where the story takes a steep right turn into the unknow, And adds a whole new feeling to the goo happy fantasy it was.
And i am here for it.

This is the 9th volume in the Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon series of light novels. I really used to love these books but finishing the last few books have felt a bit like a chore. At times they are truly great, which is why I have kept reading. Maybe it's that the series has kept running for too long and I have lost interest, this is the 9th volume after all, not counting the spin-offs. Or maybe it's the fact that this series is a bit less ”light” than other light novels, in many ways it's more like a western fantasy series. At this point I'm a bit split over if I should keep going with the 10th volume or not.

Best so far!
This has been my favorite light novel series for some time. That said, I felt like the quality of the series took a serious step upward in this volume. I really got to connect with the characters and had an awesome opportunity to take a step more fully into mr omoris world. I would dearly love to see mor of the series follow after this volumes example.
I cannot praise this enough!

Having just finished this, here're my thoughts
+The story... one of the best in the series
+The Xenos - complete game changer and could make for some really interesting developments
+The dialogues between Hestia & Ouranos, Fels & Lilly, Lido & Bell provide so many answers, you just can't put the book down once you start the long last chapter
+Although it's the first part of a 2 book story, it ends sensibly (no cliff hanger) so no need to wait for December to start reading this one :)
+Ikelos and the introduction of a possible Evil god (he doesn't accept being name as such, but he was scouted to join them)! I expect that to become a big driver for the series in the next volumes.
-No Aiz yet again... in a way great because it gives Bell some time to grow, but I really want to see Liaris Freese (how it's been translated by Yen) have an even bigger impact on Bell
-Some traditional japanese harem tropes aren't needed at all and feel forced, like an indirect kiss with Mikoto... bah
-No real interaction with the vilains, they're there and important to drive the story to where it needs to go, BUT no real interaction.
-Not really a negative, but I would also like the other team members leveling up, not just Bell. Anyway, a great volume, the minus are really minor points and can't wait for December to read volume 10 that concludes the story.

"We know what we are. Our place is in the shadows-halfway between man and monster, neither side accepting us...Even so, we want to keep dreaming"- Lido, The Sentient Lizardman.
The quote itself speaks for the theme of this 3 book arc. Divulging from the the usual norm of having adventures in a dungeon, the story is progressing towards a more political tone. Prejudice and bigotry are slyly intertwined into the story, and gets you to rethink everything, you had known up to this point about the dungeon and its inhabitants. As per usual, the author knows how to build suspense and will keep you biting on your nails, with every page turned. I was expecting a generic story about friendship, from the summary of this book, but what I got turned out to be more complex, and I enjoyed every second of it. The conflict in the book doesn't seem to be one dimensional, and seems to be relate-able to anyone who has experienced prejudiced of any kind in today's society. I would highly recommend this book and its 2 subsequent novels in the book arc, if you are a reader seeking for a story that diverges from the norm of being an action story, and want a story that is more has more heart than exposition.

This book only adds to my love of this series. I finished without putting it down in one sitting, that's just how fantastic it is.
I've had some inkling for a while about the theme behind this book from the previous novels eluding to it. However, it amazed me the detail and depth that the author achieved.
This book excites me for the rest of the series to come!

This was a good set up for the next volume, I liked how it showed that the dungeon is not what it seems and that new precedent will be set for the series. If there was anything I'd say I didn't care for it was that the scenes where Bell and company were fighting was glossed over a bit and didn't have the same impact as previous volumes. Overall very good and looking forward to volume 11.

This was a great expansion on the world of DanMachi. It gave new meaning to the mystery called the dungeon and lifted its importance in the overall story. I will disagree with the author on one point as he was not happy for this story to finish in a second volume, this book is a self-contained story. While there are plenty of dangling plot threads this particular novel can stand on its own.
If you have read this far into the series you will not be disappointed.

"En résumé, une nouvelle aventure qui promet plein de péripéties par la suite ! Des personnages que j'ai pris plaisir à retrouver, une nouvelle intrigue qui se dessine pour encore plus de plaisir. Cette découverte redonne un coup de boost à l'histoire, qui commençait à tourner en rond. Je suis très curieuse de découvrir le tome 10 et de voir ce que nous réserve l'auteur..."

The anime better be this good
This book was one of the better stories of humans and monster trying the coexist together. It was interesting during the start and the end but a during a little bit middle I felt like the story was mediocre but after that few bits the story became great again.

The start of an new arc is here!
unfortunately it is only the start of it, but the beginning is good we get a closer look into the dungeon and quite a lot of new characters are introduced.
The only drawback is that in its core it is like a prologue not an bad one but it is clearly a set-up for the next part which I am really looking forward to.

Good story and plot.
Really good story, well developed characters and a great continuation of this saga. The plot and theme are quite interesting and can’t wait how the author continues with this in the next book.

I absolutely love these light novels, however the thing I really enjoyed in previous vols. was the progression, especially that of the characters, and in this volume that is missing.
It feels like a filler story and thus the rating of 3.

I'm not a bad slime!
This volume greatly broadened the scope of the world and the story with its twists and turns. It's going to be tough reading through the next volume of the side story as I anxiously await getting back to the main event.

Good book
I liked how it’s no longer that the monsters are always bad bloodthirsty animals but they can also be sort of like humans too I think it added a bit more depth to the dungeon

This book introduces a slightly new direction in the story, but the pace is slower than usual, except at the end where it feels rushed. I still can't wait to pick up the next book, that will be the part 2.

An interesting change in direction, while maintaining the characters I keep coming back for.

Interesting conflict being set up but way too much video game like narration

Nice continuation of the series.
Some of the hinted at parts of the story start to unfold.
Looking forward to book 10.

A neat story that expands the setting while deepening the mystery of what the dungeon actually is.

Beaucoup de choses sont dévoilées, soulevant encore plus de mystères et de craintes… L’existence de Wyne remet tout en question mais il est impossible de ne pas s’attacher à elle, Bell et le reste de la Familia d’Hestia se mettent en danger pour la protéger, je n’en attendais pas moins de leur part !
