<p>Timeline </p>

<p>Still needs edits and updates but the timeline can be found here </p>

any other more updated source?

<p>Volume 1 takes place before and during DanMachi 1, 2 takes place during DanMachi 2, 3 takes place during the end of DanMachi 2 through the first half of DanMachi 3, 4 takes place during the second half of DanMachi 3, 5 takes place during DanMachi 4 and 5, 6 takes place during the first half of DanMachi 6, 7 skips the rest of DanMachi 6 and takes place in DanMachi 7, 8 takes place between DanMachi 7 and 8, and 9 takes place during DanMachi 8 </p>

<p>i like to read by series publication dates the most, but I see why people would want to read things in chronological order. </p>

One thing to remember is Sword Oratoria's plot was more slow than DanMachi.

<p>I'm actually pretty concerned with how the story lines up as well, since they don't address the Appolo party and Aiz dance with Bell or the training with Bell Aiz and Tiona, I don't know if volume 6 happens before or after the war games since volume 7 starts with them discussing the results of the war games. </p><p>I've looked at the timeline and the way that the synopsis explains the time skips ( a day later, few days later, a while later etc) it's really hard to see what's happening when, or if it was even possible for that stuff to happen while the events of Danmachi are going on. After Bell comes back to the surface, they'd have to been in town for over a week and a half for Aiz to he at the ball and train Bell but the synopsis of 6 says Aiz wanted to see Bell the day after he returned to the surface but didn't know where he lived, then Loki announces the trip to Melen the next night. So basically she announces a trip almost exactly a week before it happens and then skips a week ahead? </p>

<p>Also, Loki skipping out on watching the war games sounds impossible, tbh XD </p>
