While it started with an interesting twist on the over-saturated isekai formula, I can’t say that Spirit Chronicles did much else that was out of the ordinary. However, it did have most everything that makes a successful isekai anime from an OP protagonist to a harem of cute waifus.

What to Expect From The Spirit Chronicles Source Material Compared to The Anime?
Like any anime that is adapting a light novel, is that it skipped a whole novel’s worth of content that may or may not make it into season 2.
While there is some merit to reading the light novel from the beginning, the anime didn’t skip anything too plot important in what it did adapt to merit it.
While you can read the skipped fourth novel’s content in the manga, the manga is also cuts a bit of light novel details out as well. So it may not be the best option if you want a more in-depth version of the story.
