In a bit of an unfortunate situation for Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody, it came out in a time where so many absolutely average isekai series were coming out.

What to Expect From The Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody Source Material Compared to The Anime?
Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody has a web novel, a light novel, and a manga – all well established. All of them work with the same basic plot, but the light novel changes events from the web novel, the manga condenses events from the light novel, and the anime is more based off the manga version of the story.

There is always hope of a “sales boosting” season when then light novel gets ready to end, but that time is not now.
