I thought the way Solo Leveling introduced dungeon crawling into a modern setting was pretty cool. I guess A Nobody’s Way Up to an Exploration Hero did to, because it took that concept and neutered it into a bland rice porridge flavored anime.
However, having now read some of the source material, I am legitimately a bit upset that all the things the anime cut were the parts with all the personality and uniqueness.

Where To Start The A Nobody’s Way Up to an Exploration Hero Light Novel After The Anime?
If you finished the A Nobody’s Way Up to an Exploration Hero anime and want to continue the story with the light novel, you can start at Novel 7, technically.
The anime cut the events of Novel 4 and Novel 5 to get to the elixir events. So those novels were skipped.
It is very strongly recommended to read this light novel from the beginning, the anime cut a lot of content, and worse, cut a lot of the likable, interesting personality that this series actually has.

What to Expect From The A Nobody’s Way Up to an Exploration Hero Source Material Compared to The Anime?
Read A Nobody’s Way Up to an Exploration Hero from the beginning. The anime was a “fine, not great” story, but a bad adaptation.
You know how A Nobody’s Way Up to an Exploration Hero was likable enough, but actually just really boring and simple as a story if you weren’t there for the waifus? That’s because the anime shaved off every piece of personality and originality that this series has.
Furthermore, in doing this, it also significantly changes a lot of events. The anime cuts out a ton of characters, simplifies big events like adding Luceria to the team, and even takes the fun out of things like how Kaito occasionally wins fights by throwing stinky canned fish at them as a weapon. It also doesn’t show how much of a powerhouse Sylphie actually is.
Will There Be A Nobody’s Way Up to an Exploration Hero Season 2?
A Nobody’s Way Up to an Exploration Hero was… Not great. Not great to watch for non-fans, even worse to watch if you read the source material. I would not be optimistic for another season.
