Added events from book 6 and book 7 part 1. Let me know if I missed something.

@Outinthegardener
Kei & Iori, um, no, never mind, while Kei got his after taking down a Dungeon Boss (or worse), Iori got hers from earlier in the dungeon.

The specific examples you list do support your theory.
Statistically far too small a sample size, but then again the current point of translation [end of volume 7] is indicating that statistics can hang, there is intent involved.
Random drops aren't.

There've been musings [in story as well as in these forums iirc] that the first to trigger orb drops for a given critter is the one who sets what orbs they have the potential to drop; things have been far too convenient otherwise. iirc Kei & Miyoshi realize it's been too convenient...

I just finished volume 4 of Zero Believers.

and now Volume 5... and half that stuff I gushed about it got tossed on its head. But the writing style is still fun, and I'm enjoying the hell out of reading it.

I managed to finish volume 7, so I made it in time. Volume 9 is current, but Volume 8 is still in pre-pub until July 17, so I have a couple weeks to catch the rest of the way up.
