Great intro into the world building. Gods and Goddesses give magic to mortals to create families. This story follows Bell the sole member of the Hestia family and his attempt to pick up girls (specifically the main heroine of the Loki Family)

From the title, I was expecting to hate this. Like, yes, of course it's wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon! They're busy! They've got important dungeon things they're in the middle of! Monster slaying, treasure finding, that sort of stuff. They don't have time to get hit on by your creepy ass.
But! It's actually not bad. I bet the title works better in Japanese, if I'm giving in the benefit of the doubt. It's a pretty standard action/comedy/romance manga, but the art is clear and consistent, and the setting is kind of unique and I'm interested in the political machinations of the different gods. (Although all the gods seem to be goddesses, including Hephaestus and Loki.) It reminds me of a combination between Tenchi Muyo, Sword Art Online, and Dan Simmon's Illium/Olympus duology.

Bell Cranel is a fairly average guy with a fairly average dream to save a really pretty girl who is cornered by a monster and then they will fall in love. Good thing for Bell that monsters exist and he can fight them by going into the dungeon. What will happen if his fantasy is reversed and he is the one saved from a monster by a beautiful girl?
In this series gods and goddesses are real and they bestow blessings on humans that give the humans special abilities and make them part of the god or goddesses' familia. Bell is the only member of his goddesses' familia but he doesn't mind. Bell is determined to get stronger and he fights monsters every day.
I am really enjoying this series so far. The world created in this series is interesting. The idea of gods and goddesses willingly coming to live among humans and bestow blessings on them is intriguing. The cast of gods and goddesses that have been introduced in this first volume is quite diverse; Norse, Greek and Hindu deities have made appearances. Bell is a lovable idiot with surprising depths. The story lines are good and the plot moves along well. There is a lot of comedy but it doesn't overshadow the serious points.
I recommend this very highly. If you enjoyed Magi or Sword Art Online you will enjoy this series.

3.5 - I got a little confused, it’s a lot of info for such a small book. I’d like to see what happens next though.

Okay so this is basically D&D mixed with a harem manga. I’m not super into “everyone has big boobs and is in love with our weak main character” stories. (I’m this volume we have two goddesses, a waitress, and our MC’s boss who all have the hots for him, which is expressed with much boobs.) But I REALLY like D&D. So.

A new dungeon delver falls for a seasoned pro, and has to deal with his crush as he continues gaining XP and leveling up as an adventurer.
Fun concept, well executed. I don't really think that the gods need to show as much cleavage as possible, though.

I like this alot. Although he was more of a pervert in the beginning here than in the anime. However, he does calm does quite a bit and is not hitting on every girl outside the dungeon. I like the play on Greek mythology as well, they did a great job with the art. Although there is a bit of fan service here and there but you would definitely stay for the story. This one is for fan of RPG, D & D/ table top gaming. In addition, those that love adventure will not be able to put this down. For ages 14 and up.

Pretty decent start to a series. It kept me amused so I am continuing on. Hestia is probably my favorite character thus far. She's kinda crazy with her infatuation/love for Bell-kun and I love it. :)

Although the name is longer than usual, this is a great start to a new series! There is less fan service than I was expecting, which was a huge plus. I personally loved the world set up and concept. This is a series to keep an eye on as it grows!
