Oh, this story has taken a darker turn, and also just introduced a whole bunch more characters. Will I be able to keep track of them all? I hope so!

[Rod Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a transition volume in the series as the last book's victory is swept away by misfortune, setting up a new quest to be undertaken by our harried and hungry band of adventurers. Time that should have been spent on a few more monster recipes was given over to fleshing out a previously introduced team of rivals that will apparently play a bigger role during the next few books. This is a decent outing with some amusing bits and a little action, but I hope to see things back on track next volume.

"I've got a really bad feeling..."

Oh, that is most definitely not good.

I also wasn't expecting to be introduced to a new band of adventurers, especially for a good chunk of the volume to be featuring them for as long as it did. I guess it was okay and new, and thankfully it did not involve much in the way of recipes, but overall, it just felt unnecessary filler. However, perhaps the newly introduced group will serve a purpose, and I'll find them to be better than I think they are?

Either way, I just want to know what's happened to Falin.

Non si è fatto in tempo a recuperare Farin che già sparisce! Anche in questo volume ci si concentra su altri gruppi di combattenti, che poi confluiscono tutti insieme nel finale. Il 5 capitolo non delude.

It's so exciting whenever new characters are introduced because the designs are always so gooood!!

[Nicolo · Rating 5 out of 5]

If compared side by side with the last volume, the fifth volume is weaker but, the fourth volume had a epic dragon fight to go with the arc conclusion so it had a tremendous advatage. This volume is still funny as ever, although the pace suffers because of the need to introduce two new parties to the story, we still got several memorable lines from it.

Part of my 2025 year of friend recs

A lot of things happening in this volume, lots of new characters to keep track of and the story seems to be taking a darker turn.

Quite heavy on the exposition as well.

Falin is finally with the troupe again! ..Or is she? We finally get to see who is possibly the 'lunatic magician' that controls the dungeon. There are some extra explanations as to how the dungeon works, the importance of balance, and a few hints as to why the magician does this.

The band who is always rescued by Laius et al decides to take revenge.

Shuro finally appears!

Also, people turned into stone are great weights for making jerk, who woulda known.

Favorite chapter: 33, Dryad.

It's good cause it's Dungeon Meshi, but I yawn everytime I see Kabru's team. I couldn't care less honestly.

[Elysia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Things are Happening and I need to study these people like bugs. Also this dungeon. I am shaking hands with Marcille.

4.5 out of 5 stars

YET another great volume in what is fast becoming a favourite series. This one was not as good as the previous volume but there was still a lot to love- some background on the group and the dungeon, the expansion of the story of a second party, Senshi continuing to be the most wholesome and adorable character ever. It was great.

[Maggie Gordon · Rating 3 out of 5]

OMG, so much plot! I have no idea what is going on, but this volume of Delicious in the Dungeon features a whole lot of action other than just monster slaying! Falin is back, but not. There's a creepy group of adventurers who look eerily similar to our heroes. Everything is suddenly strange and ominous and I love it :D

4.5 Stars

I am so bummed that I don't own the next ones because this series is just so much fun to read. More weird food, awesome adventures, and even more mysteries to be had. It's really introducing some new characters in these past two novels that I think will bring some intriguing conflict and or relationships to focus.

[Valeria · Rating 4 out of 5]

Now that the Netflix series has basically caught up to this Volume I really needed to continue reading.

So here are my thoughts about this Volume:
I'm super worried about Falin.
I don't trust Kabru. He seems so slimy to me.
I love our main group. They are just so stupid and lovable.
I like the way the perceptions of Kabru's group and reality of our main group were contrasted. "Oh, they are definitely evil" Vs them being absolute dorks and talking about dryad pollination. Too funny.

[🌜Elliot🌛 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Come back Fallin I miss you already!!! Excited that we finally have Kabru’s group and Shuro back in the mix of characters though. I love seeing the different party personalities and interactions/ interpersonal relationships they have with each other.

dungeoneering nuance and conflicting interests! i love how this story is progressing and am going to try to coerce Jonah into cosplaying as Chilchuck 😈

Kabru is such an interesting character.

Im so hungry i could eat O KABRU 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[deborah · Rating 5 out of 5]

The cooking aspects of this one were a teeny bit less impressive than in the past, but the plot just keeps getting better and better and BETTER!

[Nicholas Krochta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Number 6 is out of stock and I'm big mad about it.

[Bea · Rating 5 out of 5]

I started reading after watching the anime and I am quite surprised how close the adaption stayed to the original.
This part of the story remains my favourite, so far.

[Meg Becker · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has no business being so funny! Having watched the anime, I’m familiar with some of the jokes, but they still hit, and there are so many more details hidden in the panels. Obsessed.

These are cool-down chapters after an action heavy arc, so there's not as much going on. That said, still funny and enjoyable. I'm still not sure where Kui is going with Kabru and his party, but I guess we're about to find out.

5⭐️

I enjoy the way the subtle darkness starts to weave its way into the story more here. It’s such a good balance of cozy found family traversing the dungeons to sometime darker and sinister lurking underneath.

[Loz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still so good. A volume more focused on the plot and drama of the world, it doesn't neglect the humor or any character. Everyone should be reading this series.
