Not sure how, but the sophomore slump was not evidenced in this volume. The story continued in a logical fashion, it was interesting and the story arc in this one also wrapped up nicely, with another strong teaser to encourage the reader to continue, which this reader most certainly will be doing.
5, I’m hoping the series continues to be just as good as the first two volumes, stars.

Overall the story was good as the various pieces seemed to come together in the latter half of the book. I especially lacked the back story on Lumina. However, that really can't overcome the issues I had with the book.
In the first volume, Luceil was week and couldn't defeat anyone, which was fine. But suddenly he is able to clear a dungeon below the church that has existed for over 50 years, and it's so easy for him he thinks it's a video game. So he has cheat powers now?
But wait, the paladins can all kick his ass when he starts training with them, so he is still the same weak healer lacking any cheats? Why can he clear the dungeon...alone...but the church has failed to do anything for decades, while their borderline S-class paladins grow weaker and weaker because of greed and corruption in the ranks.
Oh, but training with the paladins isn't actually difficult for Luceil, so he then goes back to clearing the video game for a challenge. The whole thing just bugged me. Oh, and clearing the labyrinth went on for far too long.

Success and Merit are acquired only by constant training and practice. Practice makes perfect, and constant practice assures success. There are no shortcuts to success in reality. I think this is why this light novel is well received. Luciel is humble, rather cowardly and shy, but determined, full of perseverance and honest. In a good versus evil series, where his ethical values and successes change this corrupt and depraved alternate reality world. This series is an isekai (reincarnated in another world).
Luciel, main character of this light novel series (and web novel series) is ordered to the Holy Capital by the Popess. He is ordered to conquer a Labyrinth that is placed right under the Capital with Undead. In the same way that Luciel combated injustice with the heals that the clinics did, he started conquering the Undead Dungeon and visiting the adventurer's guild regularly. As a lot of citizens and adventurer's found out that Luciel went to the Adventurer's Guild regularly his flat 1 silver coin per heal was widespread. Opposition from the corrupt clinics and healers, place pressure in the Capital.
This is the continuation of this light novel series, Volume 2 has 200+ pages, 14 chapters, with illustrations, blank pages, information and cover pages.
The information about the ingredients and effects of the green and rancid liquid Substance X is slowly revealed through this volume. Luciel has a lot of women attracted to him, but because he is 16-17 years old, and the women that are attracted to him are usually older, well, author and Luciel has not acted upon his attractions/flirting.
This alternate reality world has two problems that are causing war all over the place. 1) Clinics and healers swindle and rip off people/ enslave people while healing them. 2) Demon Lord and evil demons, people are invading, attacking and pressuring the different paladins, templars, adventurers and beast-folk, spirit-folks, etc.
To be able to control the wars, it becomes necessary to conquer and free the Dragons and the other labyrinths in this alternate reality world.

I enjoyed the story.
Though there were problems.
I think the problem is that the MC is a healer, so he’s not supposed to be a melee fighter. However due to this, he’s always getting his ass kicked, but it’s ok cause he’ll keep at it! Which is annoying in its own way.
Like the levels was said to be the one thing that kept him motivated, but then he’s forced to stop looking and keeps the same level of commitment anyway?
It kind of annoys me that everyone doesn’t seem to show him any praise either. Always telling him not to get a big head. Like how is he supposed to get a big head when he never wins and is basically always put down?
Apparently behind his back they praise him, but to his face, they’re kind of jerks. Can someone please just outright be amazed at his skill and say as much to his face? Like yeah you’re not the best of the best, but you’re well above average.
And then there’s leveling. Like it feels pointless considering he’s able to keep up with/build up to paladins as a level one healer.
Once he starts to level he should just sky rocket past people in power simply because his stats should jump, but the story seems to imply that won’t happen.
Overall, there’s a lot to complain about if you want to, but it’s still enjoyable. Maybe once we get past all the training, the story will bloom more.

This volume was a bit frustrating. Everyone calls MC an ignorant for not knowing how a lot of things work, which made me wonder, why would the author say multiple times that he read many books to gain knowledge, yet not a single time this knowledge was used. WTH did he spend a year reading if not to gain knowledge in this new world😑🤔 I felt like he should have read about matters that would help him in his new job, but alas, that was time wasted.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed the novel and following the MC's journey, I just wanted to see him flourish more.

A nice reading.
Fun and nice to read. A little bit tedious and repetitive in some parts, but again, as previous volume, the author does a nice job narrating a fun story, easy to read, without plot twist or intense action scenes. My only complain would be that some aspects of the dungeon didn’t make any sense at all, some parts contradicted others making it a little bit boring. But overall a good story and good characters.

Likable characters OK plot,
But pushes a strong narrative for Central planning and regulation, Which in my experience leads to more Top down stupidity, inflexibility, inefficiencies and “Enlightened” policy, divorced from the vulgarities of reality. But other than that and nice story About perseverance.

It's really interesting to see how Luciel progresses and continues to do seemingly impossible things. He's however subtly revolutionizing and improving the society he finds himself transported to. Looking forward to see what else he does.

Fun and fast paced
Exciting to see what crazy escapades Luciel gets up to.
Most of the book is labyrinth diving and learning new tricks.
However, read very closely toward the end; everything happens so quick that I don't actually remember Luciel learning some of the new tricks.

Aquí acabó el anime, sin embargo hay varios detalles que posiblemente tuvieron más relevancia en el libro.
De igual modo si casi todos los isekais que he visto tiene la ideología de “llevárselo más tranquilo en esta vida” este es más de “hacer un esfuerzo extra”
Saint Weirdo es por algo

love it
I honestly can’t believe all of the missing pieces that the anime didn’t include. Cattaleya is somehow not surprising of who she by being able to make an appointment with the pope. I can’t believe two volumes were 12 episodes in the anime. That shows how good the novel is.

This one is better paced than the previous volume and feels like the author has a plan for where to take the series.

Luciel has been ordered to report to the Holy City of Shurule, as a "reward" for the good work he's been doing healing people. But this promotion soon has him clearing out a secret dungeon full of undead. Luciel is convinced this is some sort of training regimen, and throws himself into it with his usual enthusiasm. The dungeon, however, has secrets of its own . . .
The second book is where the adventure truly picks up. Luciel has a solid foundation, and a mindset for training that has gained him a number of terrible nicknames. But it's his unique blend of stubborn stupidity that will benefit him the most. His refusal to see the dungeon as real, or really dangerous, allows him to make decisions as though he's playing a game.
The dungeon dive goes pretty fast, all things considered. I like how each boss was unique and forced Luciel to grow (another reason he considers this a training ground and not actually real). And there's hints of the various schemes that are trying to take root outside---but Luciel dodges most of them simply by virtue of not being there.
Overall, this book takes the strengths of the first and builds on them nicely. It's technically the beginning of Luciel's adventures, even if he thinks it's a training arc for most of the book. I rate this book Recommended.

Luciel arrives in the capital, to be immediately ushered off into a labyrinth below the headquarters and church of the healers. He is to deal with the zombies, gathering points and using those to buy supplies. Luciel soon realizes it is as much a way to get him out of the way as alive since his attitude towards the corruption within the guild has made him many enemies. It also reveals a much more deep rooted problem in the world, one he would really prefer to ignore in his wish to die of old age...
Like part 1, the book is about a timid nervous and strangely naïve man which at times can be a bit irritating. It comes with some character development, and a lots of solo fights which are decently written. The world building is ok, although it appears to be mostly standard JRPG medieval Europe fantasy setting. There appears to be forming a harem of sorts, although the members do have a life outside of the protagonist and show a bit more depth then is usual. It certainly lacks most of the tropes of harem LNs, no echi, which is good, because it is not a light hearted story.
All in all, I enjoyed reading it, but it is not particularly unique or deep.
