I loved it and would highly recommend it if you like light-hearted comedy and want to turn your brain off!
{This review mostly pertains to the LightNovel but does not spoil much of the plot up to this point}

BUT, it is undoubtedly paced terribly with fewer details and intimacy than the first season. A complaint I saw is that it's like a kid's anime however the creators understand that, it has all sorts of cute and goofy wholesome scenes and exciting combat scenes intended to be lighthearted. From the beginning, it aimed to be something not serious, its selling point is absurdity giving Maple the strangest
...
abilities the author could think of to make her far more powerful than the majority of enemies in a similar vein to one punch man but "cutesy" (she's not actually that strong and does struggle often but the core plot point is similar).

My biggest complaint about this series is simply that it's too short, Bofuri being limited to 12 episodes caused many elements from the light novel to be cut out. In the original work, you get a much deeper insight into the mentality and abilities of the side characters like Sally (prime example). In the light novel she feels insecure about her own abilities and strives to improve so she could be of help to Maple (this happened between floors 5 & 6 I believe, the anime is currently on 7) and that helps you understand and care more for her as a character, not just the obligatory lovable best friend. The anime while showing some shadow of that plot doesn't really include it at all.

The light novel also explains many of the side quests to show where the characters obtained certain abilities, of course, the anime does include the most important ones such as Sally's boots but some slightly minor abilities were simply never explained and they could just use them, or have either not been used yet/were completely removed. More importantly, the light novel is paced well, the server events take some time and we see them in depth instead of being the first 10 minutes of an episode.
