Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? is an anime that involves a surprising lack of picking up girls in dungeons, although the MC adventures in a dungeon with his ever-growing group of friends, most of whom join his harem of girls representing a ton of tropes, all of whom have some kind of troubled past that the MC helps them get past.

The show has some stellar fights with some high-quality art and sound, along with an interesting power system in how it works with the MC, who of course has a super OP ability that literally makes him able to win any fight with the power of "plot magic". It goes downhill from there, as the show fails to make well-developed characters. The MC is an innocent ignorant earnest MC (aka generic MC) and all the supporting cast is much the same in how they fall too easily into tropes. The plot is also super dull and predictable. Plot loop: MC is weak, tries to level up, encounters new person/harem member, befriends new person, MC levels up, MC gains harem member, rinse and repeat.

It is able to engage a fan of fights or harems, but it's far outclassed by other similar shows. That being said, if you like this kind of leveling and are able to put up with the mediocre harem elements then this is still worth a watch.
