Dust is more kazuma than kazuma.
This series is about the side character Dust from the world of konosuba. I would recomend reading it after you read the main series (konosuba), you could read alongside it but the spin-off has does have continuity errors, however they are minor.
Story:
The novel for me has two main sections or categories that I came up with. One being comedy and the other being the main story.
In the comedy areas, its usually slice of life moments of Dust and his point of view of events that happened in the main series. For me the "comedy" sections fall short when compared to
...
konosuba. I never laughed my head off, but there was lots of small chuckles. However the main story, where it solely focuses on Dust is great. The backstory of Dust and foreshadowing is interesting and built up splendidly. When the story really focuses on developing dust is where it shines the best.
Characters:
Dust has the same attitudes and characteristics that kazuma has, both their good and bad qualities, such as their care for their fellow campions. However everything about kazumas qualities are enhanced, basically Dust is scummier.
Other characters from the world of konosuba also appear, with vanir, wiz, iris, the useless god, the masochist and the psycho explosionist making significant appearances throughout the novels.
Overall:
If you don't enjoy the first few volumes, I would still stick with it as while the payoff might not be great, it still deserves to be finished off. The latter volumes do get more interesting and focuses on Dusts past.
If your even reading this review (more like a praise) just start reading it straight away.
