On Chapter 3, you'll have access to Ancient Ruins, Runic Forest Ruins. The Chamyl Dragon there, while strong, can be ranged with relative safety (using Aht/Wil's Cover and Sharty's Flighty Guardian, which is a guaranteed block, are highly recommended), though be wary of its AoE. It can even be whittled down with Crayl and finished off with another character to basically give them a free level.

The Rym Dragon at Noxious Wasteland, Forest of Souls is another option requiring similar strategy.

Finally, the Bird of Prey at Underground Lake, Yuma Lake can be ranged even more safely but it will need to be blocked by someone to prevent a poor ranged attacker from being shredded by a potential Swift activation. This is where characters like Yuela and Aht can be useful (preferably with some Cover) and they'll get some nice experience tanking it.

All of these are pretty good to grind in during Chapter 4 as well since the base level of the monsters is high.

If you do Kohakuren's side quests, then Chapter 5 has a very good map to grind during the first clear. The Giant's Mine at Rosean Mountains is initially filled with Cyclops that are an incredibly high level and give loads of experience when attacked. Just be careful not to get a game over and because they can counterattack at a range of 2, abuse Cover mechanics as usual to mitigate damage (you might even have some Guardian skills for certain characters).

Beyond that, enemies monster portals can be camped (recommended for farming like Ankloshells for Ammonite Fossils at Yuma Lake maps, etc) and if you don't want to waste days, you can always re-fight enemies at the Arena for free.,
