In this time of isekai series, it is refreshing to see a fantasy series that doesn’t just thrust isekai in there. I like that the main character is a member of the world, and the dungeon is an interesting progression for the series. Anyway, if you, too, enjoy Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon, then you have much left to explore in its source material.

What to Expect From The Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon Source Material Compared to The Anime?
The Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon series has a deceptively simple premise, but it sits on a huge foundation of details and world building. While the anime captures the core story, it doesn’t adapt a lot of that foundation. While what the anime adapts can allow you to jump into the story with the light novels after the anime, you really should consider reading it from the beginning.
As for Sword Oratoria, the anime is considered “fine, but not great,” due to the decision to put a lot more emphasis on Lefiya, which isn’t exactly one of the most beloved characters in the Loki Familia. Furthermore, the anime also greatly rushes through the first novel of Sword Oratoria and leaves out a lot of details. It is a great story, and it is recommended to read the light novel, or at least the manga, from the beginning.
