In Volume 6, we finally get to see some content that hasn’t been adapted into the anime as of yet!
We follow Ray Starling/ Reiji Mukudori in both in-game and IRL perspectives. I actually like seeing the real life perspectives of the characters, I just think it gives them more depth. We are also introduced to our third member of Altars Big 3, and wow was she a riot. Not sure how I feel about her as a character yet, but I’m sure that’ll be decided soon.
This volume I flew through, and will be moving straight onto volume 7. Thank you Infinite Dendrogram for another 5 star volume to match the rest of the series.

Je vous retrouve pour mon light novel préféré ! Un nouvel arc s’annonce pour Ray et autant vous dire, comme toujours, beaucoup de choses vous attendent !
Un arc s’est terminé pour Ray et ses compagnons. Pour autant, la paix risque de ne pas durer. En effet, Ray s’endort à l’auberge, mais quand il se réveille, il se retrouve dans une pièce inconnue. Il va vite réaliser qu’il a été enlevé par l’Assemblée du monde Lunaire, plus exactement par Tsukuyo. Qu’est-ce qu’elle attend de Ray ?
Comme toujours, tome après tome, Infinite dendrogram ne cesse de me surprendre et de me plaire. On découvre ici, de nouveau personnage et un nouveau personnage qui va prendre part à la vie également IRL de Ray. Ce que je trouve d’autant plus intéressant !
En effet, les vacances sont terminées et Ray doit reprendre le chemin des cours et plus exactement de l’université. Pour autant, il ne délaisse pas Infinite et sa très chère Nemesis.
En bref, ces deux tomes sont toujours aussi prenants. Je dirais même que plus on avance dans cette saga, plus elle devient captivante. Je suis déjà impatiente de voir ce que nous réserve le 8ème tome !

Yeah, didn’t enjoy the anime all that much. What is released of it anyway, so onward to the novels!
───────────────────
I AM still watching the anime, despite the fact I’m a little behind so I hope that it will become a lot more entertaining than it is now. That being said, I do think that this novel is probably the most amusing of the 6 I’ve read so far. Characters are introduced, returning ones are explored in bigger details and Onee-san Starling is just being teased throughout of it that I will sacrifice both Ray and Shu, for her to make an appearance. Yes, that’s how far I’m gone right now and Sakon Kaidou doesn’t make it easier whatsoever.
The volume in itself is a filler, literally the only thing I can call it, since the plot isn’t really advancing despite the characters getting stronger. But, then again that’s what being in an MMO is all about. Yours truly is a semi active FFXIV player, yet I’m neglecting the main story quests just because I’m cleaning up beast tribe quests and leveling up my disciples of the land. Do I regret it? Nope. Will I continue doing just that when I’m done writing this? Hell, yes. Being able to experience every little thing in a whole new world is the beauty of MMOs, now imagine being able to full dive, I’m literally never going to come out of there.
Anyways, the main things to notice when a volume like this comes along are the characters and Infinite Dendrogram excels in one thing above all others for me, namely making Ray and Nemesis the least interesting of the introduced cast. To me personally, they can be easily considered boring when taking in the colourful additions like Shu, Franklin and the few superiors briefly introduced in this volume to name a few. Therefore, it grates my nerves when Ray has to fulfill the job description of the main character when I’d rather anyone else get to do it instead.
Really, it’s insane how each volume makes that feeling grow stronger and stronger.
I mean it doesn’t really help when Ray is falling deeper and deeper into the “how convenient was that?!” Pool. If he spent more time in the game, I’ll think that it’s a natural progression but the guy’s a noob who got lucky, multiple times and will only continue to get lucky every single time. It was interesting the first few times, but by now I’m done and I’m way over it. A game needs a challenge, not a very convenient set of skills that makes the MC a way stronger entity than need be.
Ever since I read volume 5, this has been more apparent than ever (I know it started in previous volumes) and volume 6 is only pushing down on the gas pedal, it’s not slowing down at all. At the moment, I’ll consider it a con to the series but who knows what will happen? I do think that game wise this is probably the best I’ve seen as of yet, so I hope it will continue to be so.
To be very honest, in the end, of the side characters weren’t as interesting as they were or the bits and pieces of comedy didn’t hit every single time, this would have been rated way less than this. But at least I was entertained and that’s never a loss :)
Final rating: 3/5

La première chose qui m’a surprise c’est que l’on fait un virage à 180 degrés dans ce tome. Là ou j’avais pu noter dans les tomes précédents qu’il n’était que peu ou pas du tout fait référence à la vie réelle ici c’est tout l’inverse. On va donc découvrir une partie de la vie du héros. C’est plaisant d’en apprendre sur son vrai lui, de le découvrir dans son quotidien. C’est également le cas pour d’autres personnages qui n’avaient pas encore été développés. La réalité est au cœur de l’intrigue de ce tome, ce qui vient bouleverser complètement l’histoire. Les deux facettes de la personnalité des joueurs entrent donc en opposition.
On découvre à nouveau des personnages et encore une fois l’un d’entre eux aura su sortir un peu du lot, il m’aura intrigué tout particulièrement. Le fait de les découvrir d’abord dans la vie réelle puis dans le jeu permet de venir créer un attachement différent envers ces nouveaux protagonistes.
Le monde d’Infinite Dendrogram, et notamment sa profondeur sont en continuels développement, ce qui permet à la fois de surprendre le lecteur mais aussi de lui donner envie de toujours en savoir plus. Ce tome vient développer de manière encore plus poussée les relations entre personnages non joueurs et joueurs, intéractions qui peuvent avoir des conséquences sur le monde global. Si cela permet de compléter le peu d’informations que l’on a sur cette catégorie de personnages, ça suscite surtout de nouvelles interrogations.
Point important à signaler pour moi : l’histoire est suffisamment bien menée pour aboutir sur un cliffhanger à la fin, qui certes était attendu mais laisse tout de même le lecteur bouche bée. On est donc plongé dans nos questions et on à envie de connaître la suite de l’histoire. J’avoue que quand j’ai fermé le roman je me suis dis que ce n’était pas possible de nous laisser sur une fin comme celle-ci. L’événement que l’on attendait tant est enfin arrivé mais cela nous laisse clairement sur notre faim ! Je veux en savoir plus.
Le côté RPG est mis de côté dans ce tome, il est moins fait état de niveaux et autres notifications de ce genre. C’est un aspect qui m’a un peu manqué durant ma lecture et j’espère le retrouver dans la suite de l’histoire.
Les illustrations tombent souvent à point nommé, et permettent de se faire une très bonne visualisation des nouveaux personnages. C’est assez plaisant de venir confronter l’image mentale que l’on peut avoir d’un personnage avec la façon dont il est illustré quelques pages ensuite.
Le scénario n’avance pas réellement dans ce tome, mais cela n’empêche pas de le trouver intéressant et prenant : il amorce un nouvel arc de l’histoire en nous apportant quelques réponses mais surtout en ouvrant la porte à de nouvelles questions.
C’était un tome vraiment agréable à lire, qui donne envie au lecteur d’en apprendre plus, et qui ouvre la porte d’un nouvel arc. J’ai hâte de lire le tome 7 pour connaître la suite des aventures de Ray.

I recently binged the last three volumes and genuinely enjoyed each one too much to even rate them separately. While many readers might dismiss Volume 6 as a filler, I'd say otherwise. It actually gives us a glimpse into Ray's real life and hints at the possibilities of him forming connections beyond the world of Infinite Dendrogram.
The reveal of Shu's true identity was also a great twist, and it made me curious to learn more about their older sister and the lore surrounding their family.
That said, I do wish there was less unnecessary chatter and undermining of Nemesis. I wanted to see more of her growth and evolution into her later forms.
One thing I appreciated was Rook's previous job changing to 'Lost Heart', since that fixed one of my long-time icks with the series.
Overall, while a few side stories dragged and felt like background noise, the main plots and quests remain engaging and full of energy. The series captures the feeling of playing through an MMO perfectly, from being a total noob to unlocking a superior job. I'll definitely keep reading to see where the adventure goes next.

This one really didn't live up to the rest of the series. Even as a standalone it just wasn't all that spectacular. It is obviously setting up a new story arc, but at least half of it was just boring and introduced probably my least favorite character of the series thus far, Tsukuyo Fuso. Incredibly uninteresting to me. Even Franklin is more interesting. Sadly I have a feeling she's going to be around a fair bit. Thank goodness for Kozue Fujibayashi this volume's one saving grace, though not enough of her to pull it out of the hole. Let us hope that SHE's the one around and Fuso is relegated to the position of minor nuisance.
If you're a Dendro fan check it out from the library so you know what's going on, but don't expect great things from this particular volume.

Ya no se por que sigo esta serie, el light racism y elitismo se le sumo un poco de pedofilia (Rosa) y de abuso (Tsukujo); algo de embarazos magicos y padres ausentes y mas evidente lo de tener una chica que guerrera que cumpla tus fantasias... No se sigue siendo medianamente entretenido y me gustaria ver a donde va la historia pero los tropos que usa me parecen cada vez menos interesantes tomando en cuenta el resto de contenido que existe. Veremos.

It starts with some random BS event that forced the introduction of a couple new characters. I didn’t really enjoy the first half of the book...
However, Dendro books always deliver that cool shounen experience, I like the MC’s style and having started on book 7 already, I can confirm this 6th volume is just a long intro that will result in a fairly superior next volume.

The popularity of Sword Art Online is a bit had to understand when Infinite Dendrogram, it's fellow VRMMO series, is superior in every aspect.
The main difference would be that Sword Art has a death game setup, while Dendrogram just chronicles a VRMMO adventure. While that that might seem much less exciting at first, it gives the series a nice relaxed feel, even when wars are fought and players are killed. One could call it the perfect combination of pleasant isekai-ish escapism with high stakes shonen battles.
