His friends are also unique and without spoiling anything I will say their is dragons, ogres, lizardman, and orcs. He was a 37 y/o virgin in his past life.) He isn't really hyper intelligent but he has a good heart and wants to help his friends in any way he can. Rimuru was formerly a male but after his rebirth he has no gender so yeah (Poor guy. Not really a problem for me since it is a pretty cool power. it is the ability to take others abilities, both also being named Gluttony. I will start with the main character Rimuru, he reincarnated as a slime (obviously) and similar to Rou had some OP abilities. Speaking of characters their is a ton of them, most being interesting as well. Well it isn't kiddy either but there isn't really any mature themes (sex, torture, you get it) However in this case I think it is a good thing, it focuses more on the story and characters quirks. This light novel is fairly similar to Re: Monster (It is impossible for me not to compare these two series) but I would say this one is more shonen. The slow development of the city of Tempest is also something to look forward to and doesn't get boring as the feeling of reading the characters' hard work and effort to improve their city pay off.Īll in all,good writing,good story,good plot. World building is also just as fantastic in this series as the characters interact with others from various countries. Throughout the series there is rapid chracter growth with good explanation to how they got stronger and victory was achieved not through strength alone but also due to the tactics and application of magic employed.Even the characters' state of mind and emotions affected the battle.Į.g: Gabil's cockiness,Shion's Anger,Benimaru's lack of magic application Unlike your average isekai where your main mc is absurdly overpowred and beats every opponent with ease,Rimuru learns skills and put effort in training as well.Reasons are also provided for why he got so strong.įor example,how Rimuru got so strong was firstly due to Veldora 'naming' him at the start of the series.A dragon naming a slime would surely give him great strength.He then took the skills from other various creatures before leaving the cave.That was the reason why the goblins were afraid of him initially. I feel this novel has a lot of good power scaling,character developments and plot and is worth a shot. It's not a masterpiece, but it is worth a read. I personally really enjoyed it and I hope my messed-up review convinces some people to try it out. The updates of the translations are rather quick and the author even gave his consent so you won't have to fear it suddenly disappearing like several other works. While some people might critizise that the protagonist becomes overpowered, there are several characters that are obviously stronger than him. Don't be surprised when a character turns out to be more complex than suspected! The arcs are rather different from each other and don't just recycle previous plot with different characters. The setting might be a bit common, but the side characters are He does not develop a god-complex over his abilites but decides to change his enviroments for everyone's amusement and benefit. The protagonist is not one of those "I stopped being human so I don't care about humans anymore" characters, but an honestly nice and laid back, but still hard working guy. What differates it from those other novels is the humor. This novel is one of the "Deconstructing being reincarnated in a fantasy world" kind, which have been becoming so popular lately that they became their own category.
