As someone who has read all the translated light novels, it is definitely worth reading them after the anime. It keeps the same quality the anime had, but in my opinion exceeds that of the anime. I will warn you that after Volume 6 some characters will be seen in a whole other light, usually in a bad way, especially during Volume 7/8. But, all in all, defintely read them, just be prepared to wait a long time for 8-10 since Yen Press takes forever to translate (they delayed Volume 7 by a year...)
