He has a mysterious, important mission and needs your help, but you just want to get back to your family… After a bit of searching, a wiry old Raccoon offers to build you a way home if you can find a few Airship Parts.

(I, The Weakest Player, Will Rise to the Top Using a “Wall-Clipping Glitch” – By Clipping Through Walls, I Earned the First-Time Clear Reward Infinite Times!) novel series. The book’s wraparound jacket band lists a television anime for the Saijakuna Boku wa “Kabenuke Bug” de Nariagaru: Kabe o Surinuketara, Shokai Clear Hōshū o Mugen Kaishū Dekimashita! series.

Nikita Kitagawa first released the web novel on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in February 2021. In June 2022, light novels with illustrations by Meto Sasame were launched. The second volume shipped in May 2024.

The series follows Henri Cleats, an adventurer who only has a single skill: Evasion. Wanting to take care of his sickly younger sister Colette, he joins a party. However, due to weak attack power and lack of skills, he is expelled from this party.

However, it turns out that his evasion skill comes with a bonus: he is able to pass through walls and reach the end of dungeons without defeating the boss. Thus, he is able to claim a dungeon’s First Clear bonus more than once. With his newfound knowledge, Henri sets out to clear as many dungeons as he can while also leveling up his power.

Check out the new trailer for The Dungeon Experience below:

The Steam page describes The Dungeon Experience as follows:

Are you seeking a new Adventure? A new start? Would you like to enter a cocoon and come out reborn, wealthy, beautiful and less rashy. (to be clear it is a metaphorical coccoon, we will not put you inside one, unless you want that) Then join me on a life changing adventure in The Dungeon Experience.

It is a first-person guided adventure which will help you unlock the greatest loot of them all, Financial Freedom*. Which I achieved myself. I started as a humble crustacean, a low level RPG monster, scraping by at the bottom of the food chain. Now, thanks to determination, optimism, and a modest investment in crab-scented essential oil candles, I’m the proud owner of this incredible dungeon. Now confirmed to have all asbestos removed.

I want to share the same life-changing opportunity with you! Step inside my dungeon, explore its wonders, and take part in an exclusive training program that will guide you to Financial Freedom* and success. It will increase your chance with prospective partners of your choosing, whether that be romantic, platonic or George.

I am confident if you have the right, positive mindset, you too can rise through the ranks of a supportive, fast-growing, pyramid adjacent shaped community. If you have the wrong mindset, that’s ok, I’ll try to change your mindset, let me come to your house, whisper in your ear while you sleep, kind of like how family speak to their relatives in a coma, I think I can change you.
