English Dub Review: My Gift Lvl 9999 Unlimited Gacha: Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon, I’m Out for Revenge! “Adventurers”

The Fool’s Mask…

Overview

After years of surviving the dungeon and building his power, Light assumes the guise of an adventurer to gather intelligence on the surface, a strategic move before launching his revenge.


Our Take

Picking up from the previous episode, Light, Nemumu, and Gold begin their cautious steps into adventuring while gathering information about the world above. The story also acknowledges Light’s grief and frustration due to an unpleasant discovery he makes, framing his decision to travel under an alias as a strategic attempt to understand the forces tied to the mysterious Maestro. Along the way, small interactions such as helping a merchant and his child keep the tone grounded and character-driven.

The rest of the proceedings also highlight the fun dynamic between Nemumu and Gold, whose contrasting personalities add levity to Light’s darker motivations. Their early dungeon exploration leans more into world-building than shock value, introducing monsters, travelers, and hints of political tension. Even brief encounters with side characters suggest that the world’s discrimination and power struggles will continue shaping Light’s path forward.

Overall, this episode delivers a softer, character-driven step in Light’s journey, blending his restrained pursuit of revenge with a slower, investigative approach, while highlighting the evolving dynamics between Light, Nemumu, and Gold. Their small encounters, from roadside rescues to early dungeon exploration, help establish their growing presence in the wider world, maintaining an easy adventure rhythm even as sinister figures like Kyto quietly shape the larger narrative, and we clearly have a long way to go if Light is going to get his revenge and the answers he seeks.
