Production details for Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon
The fantasy anime is based on the light novel series of the same name written by Shisui Meikyo (story) and illustrated by Tef.
Its English-language translation is published by J-Novel Club, with 10 volumes already published, and Volume 11 dropping in October.
J-Novel Club explains the Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon like this:
When Light is kicked out of the Concord of the Tribes, his former comrades instantly turn on him. Light escapes this diabolical act of betrayal by the skin of his teeth…only to find himself in the deepest part of the Abyss, the most dangerous dungeon in the realm!
To avoid being eaten by carnivorous monsters, he uses the Unlimited Gacha, his sole magical skill. But where it previously only produced junk items, this time Mei—a gorgeous Level 9999 fighter in a maid outfit—springs forth!
Fast forward three years and Light has carved out his own kingdom in this backwater dungeon, summoning more beautiful Level 9999 warriors who swear absolute fealty to him.
Now a powerful Level 9999 Overlord himself, Light plans to ascend to the surface and take revenge on his betrayers one by one!
The anime series is being directed by Katsushi Sakurabi (Flying Witch), with Hiroshi Oonogi (Blue Archive: The Animation) in charge of scripts and series composition, and character designs from Yukie Suzuki (Tsukimichi — Moonlit Fantasy).
