A surprisingly good series that doesn’t overly resemble anything else (that I’ve seen\/read, apart from its use of common genre tropes like gamified dungeons), Seija Musou<\/a> remains consistent through its first seven volumes.

The eighth novel is a bit of a different story though. That’s where the forward momentum kind of dies out and event developments start to take on a sort of episodic and random\/arbitrary feel.
