It is a slice of life style isekai, with no goal. The MC has no objectif and is really dull.

I have no issues with the pace of the story. The character development is sufficient to give them good personality and make them interesting enough. But the MC behave like a child that suffer from PTSD.

Initially the flaws of the MC didn't come as glaring as it was. The MC was an adult in his past life, yet somehow he doesn't feel like one at all. He gets from the gods... more>> some OP power that mind blows everyone, but this is due to his past life skills and talent adding on with his new cheat.

The lack of introduction of a real challenge for the MC to overcome is what killed the series on the long run. He will instantly solve any issues. He has too much knowledge for a typical japanese office worker, and recreate a few piece of technology that belongs to his country applying the laws of this new world in a creative way. At first it is not an issue, until it becomes absurd.

The author is sloppy when it comes for problem solving, the slime is the main element that will carry the story to the point, we could just have a non OP story but OP slimes instead.

If you wish to read it, it is a great one to waste time and not get much out it. You might get entertained a bit from it before finding it monotonous. <<less

The only problem I got with this novel is the MC. He's very likable but he felt detached from everything. Slice of life genre got nothing but interaction between people so this MC didn't really work.

Interesting start. Thats all. Very very slow everyday life. Few time skip. Typical japanese MC. And why there is a R-15 tag? If there is a problem or anything the MC has a solution for that or a very convenient magic specially for that problem. No real hadships no challange either, and no romantic whatever it is.

Spends too much time on the stores etc without much progression. Nothing ever happens, so don't get your hopes up. The protagonist is blessed with everything and everyone loves him. His enemies are only mob characters so he's never in danger. The author likes to forcefully include the protagonist's "tragic past" to gain sympathy from the readers but always fail miserably since it's overly exaggerated. Basically, if you're interested in Mary Sue stories, this is for you.

It started well. I like how he reincarnated but without heavy cheats, just ability to use all elements. But he get immersed all of a sudden to research and thats where it got annoying all of a sudden because there was so much field of study he touched into and plans in merchant industry. A person like that specially being young in a world of swords and magic would be a target of envy and suspicion. A modern person that have been 40 years old in the past would know... more>> how the world works so it's cringey when there are realize2 stuff and friendship2 stuff. Its cringey. MC doesnt know the word stabilize and he keeps rushing things jumping to one field to another.

I know japanese people are polite and tend to use words to deescalate situations but MC's just too much. He might have brought benefit to others but those who care sincerely for him just keep worrying about him more. Only 1 yr, just 1 yr of getting into town and he brought world changing products already so makes me wonder, I think the MC is a dumb person. Dumb that he doesnt think of future plans and just want immediate gains and results. He's not even trying to hide himself. As a modern person, being too showy would atracts nobles and those in power so shouldnt it be normal for a modern person to hate the possibility of bring used and freedom being restrained. Being too polite like MC is dumb. Being too forgiving is dumb. Only 1 year has passed and yet the MC has worked worth 5 years hahah,

author this is you fault you shouldnt have bring him to business and just continue being adventurer, damnU <<less

MC is a Gary Stu with the personality blander than a rock and is beloved by everyone. The characters basically have two braincells and only exist to glorify and be awed by MC

Idk how the hell this is so popular. Dropped totally.

It was an enjoyable read. Not that much action, but the ones available are well described and is actually exciting (maybe because of the few number of actual fights). The characters are numerous and likeable. Though their interactions with the main character are mostly just heart-warming stuff. Too bad that this got dropped when things are picking up.

A nice read if you are bored. Not the most engaging story I have read.

If you for whatever reason don't like this then try the revised/rebooted version it's more silly, and isn't for me but whatever.

Grammar: 4.5/5
Story: 3/5
Writing: 4.5/5

I love this series. That out of the way, grammar is nearly perfect and the writing style is really smooth for most of the chapters. The only gripe I have is that the story is not very original, it's still nice though and used in a very satisfying way. Conversations are a bit on the moderately funny side, action scenes are well described if somewhat boring from time-to-time, and the actual story progression is pretty well paced. More than the battles, I really enjoy the slice-of-life chapters because they let you in on what the MC or some of the more enjoyable side-characters are up to.

A very good read, I'll be keeping up with the series until it ends or the translators give up.

While an enjoyable slice of life novel, I can't recommend it to anybody that lacks a good imagination. Most of the fun from this novel comes from the slimes, their fights, and their everyday activities. While the story progresses slowly at first (minus the 3 year skip) it does speed up a bit after he becomes more independent. If you come to enjoy the casual atmosphere of a boy (kind of) raising his slimes then you'll probably be able to get through the slow parts without any problems.

This is very interesting at first the evolution of slime and its a pretty good and wild imagination but like every other story repetitive element are boring.
Spoiler

After reading Volume four there is not much new element for the story other than slime and his basic daily life, easy going life is nice but no other animal or monster other than Rimel bird aka Delivery bird. Are there no more interesting fresh idea like wolf series evolution or cat family evo? Is this story about slime evolution? Or other new type are gonna come flying?

[collapse]
I pretty much lose interest in the story so far. If you guys know a new monster in his collection and what chapter please reply or pm me.

This is an enjoyable read, the MC is actually OP in a way but this story isn't about fighting so not the OPness you would expect.
the MC goes to a different world after dying but he doesn't start off as baby in the new world but as a young man around 10?

There are monsters and gods and stuff like that but its mainly about his everyday life in that world.

wow... describing it even I found it boring but since I already read it, it is actually an enjoyable read. surprisingly >_>

The MC is blessed with many blessings and the gods make sure that he lives a confortable life. The beginning is pretty slow but it's really worth the read. The MC is not too overly cheated and he develops all of his gifted abilities in a very unexpected way. It's more like a slice of life novel but it's really sweet, it's a feel good novel.
