    Name: Dungeon Seeker
    Japanese name: ダンジョンシーカー
    Raw link:
    It is a light novel. It needs to bought to obtain the raws. サカモト666 or Sakamoto 666 is the author. Same author as the one that did the 1hp novel but quit doing it for some reason.
    Why it should be picked up:
    the plot seems good. the read a few of the manga chapters and it is pretty good. It is like Arifureta, but less cringy since he has zero love even by the one girl that supposedly would be on his side. Technically his Childhood friend gets NTR'd from him, but when she ended up in a life threatening environment, with lower stats than our protagonist, she essentially became the Bitch from Tate no Yuusha. It is only technically NTR. She was a fake friend. She was never his lover in the first place. They could have turned her into a guy and it could have still worked. She was only his friend because he used to protect her from bullies as a kid.
    Manga link you can go to Alphapolis for manga raws.
    Description from manga:
    Junpei Takeda, a high school student, is childhood friends with Noriko Tatsumiya and the bully Kido Shouta. One day, during the usual course of bullying Junpei, they were suddenly summoned to a different world by the whim of "God". Summoned Heroes with cheats, or so he thought. But it turns out Junpei's stats were even worse than an average farmer. Tricked into a deadly labyrinth by the only one he trust, he walks the journey for revenge.

    Well, it is not really NTR. To be true NTR, they had to be lovers in the first place. She was basically his only friend in life.

    dont know about that yet though.. need to read the actual chapter to find out.
    She could just be a coward that can only clings to someone else.. or she could be a manipulative person trying to survive..
    But if she dumps the MC just because he is weaker then others not even respecting him as a friend when he already help her in her childhood, then he should be better off without her. =/

    sounds too edgy for me, although it depends on how it goes after he gets in the dungeon. It could turn into complete shit like arifueta, or maybe not. I will lose 100% interest if he finds some op cheat along the way that turns it into a theme park novel.

    It's hardly NTR if they weren't together in the first place, right? I read the first 2 chapters of the manga, they were a bit over the top in emotional drama. I didn't actually feel bad for the MC at all. But if the novel gets translated, it wouldn't hurt to read it.

    in the manga? the very next chapter. Chapter 2. At that point, it seems pointless. It has zero pain of NTR that early in the game. It feels less like the standard bully NTRing the childhood friend and more like the Bitch's betrayal from tate no yuusha
    I know how people don't like NTR all too much, but it is not really NTR. Betrayal is basically the first thing out the door.
