Yen Press is publishing the novels in English, and it describes the story:

Seven years before a certain boy will arrive in the Labyrinth City, an era of chaos and strife reigns supreme. Ryu Leon spends her days serving the goddess Astrea while searching for a brand of justice she can believe in. She's not alone, for the rest of Astrea Familia are a rare source of light in these dark times. In the shadows, however, something evil is stirring—a threat that will shake Orario to its very foundations…!

The novel series is a spinoff of Ōmori's own Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darō ka) light novel series, and itself adapts the "Astrea Record" third anniversary event from the Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Memoria Freese game, which debuted in the game in 2020. Ōmori launched the light novel series with its first volume in October 2022, with art by kakage. The third volume shipped in December 2022. Yen Press released the third novel in English in November 2024.

Fujino Ōmori's original Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? light novel series currently has 21 volumes, and its spinoff series Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? On the Side: Sword Oratoria has 16 volumes. The franchise has over 20 million copies in circulation.

Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darō ka V: Hōjō no Megami-hen (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V: Goddess of the Harvest Arc), the fifth anime season, premiered in October 2024. HIDIVE streamed the anime as it aired in Japan. The anime has a planned sixth season in the works.
