It's a fun, relaxing read at first. Then it becomes typical shonen stuff like nakama power and crazy power ups that make no sense. Typical happy-go-lucky the whole world is my friend and I will forgive my enemy until they become my friend, -oh you tried to kill me, my family, my friends, and everything I've ever built? Well you failed so no harm done- Japanese MC. There was one major event that you thought might change the MC but it got quickly resolved.

All in all it's a light read... more>> for your average LN readers looking for power fantasies and hot monster girls. It even has harem. FFS, it was the only thing I wanted from a novel about a genderless slime. NO UNNECESSARY HAREMS, s*x SCENES, ETC. Still they managed to cram it in. The bloody LN even finds a way to half-assedly bypass the monogamy rule Rimuru himself set up in tempest to give a guy a harem.

I HATE HAREM. <<less

How should I start?

For how entertaining it is... If that's the main thing, entertaining and fun, just great.

From the protagonist whose personality is great, to the secondary characters.

... more>> Each one of them has an unbeatable development, their personalities felt "alive".

The author didn't forget characters (or at least I don't remember forgetting any of them), the best of all is that each of them had their time on "screen" each of them always had their chance.

As for the development of the world?

Well I can say, it was very well built, skill levels and all that sort of thing, even the development of the world outside the forest, was great!

But if I have to emphasize something I liked, then it was the characters that accompanied the protagonist. They kept their personalities from beginning to end, they matured that's true, but they kept their essence.

Anyway, if you ask me if I recommend it, then my answer is yes, of course I do.

I may not have much tension, but the rest is just great!

Read it.

Psdt: Sorry about my English. <<less

Truthfully this story's become pretty boring. The jokes are starting to get lame, the suspense factor is non-existent and the development can be seen a mile away. All that's left is for Remuru to defeat the bad guy and take his throne. Also the romance has dried up (there was none to begin with) and the only purpose of the upcoming chapters seem to be to show how great and awe-inspiring out little slime is. In the end I stand firm in one thing; Ceil-Sensei is the best!

Status: read all of it, understood all of it.
9/10 if you wanna know reasons, read further or just leave.

First I will tell you reasons why I like this web novel.

1. Webnovel has unique idea of MC getting reincarnated as weakest species and then his journey to become the strongest. This idea matches with other novels like "so I'm a spider. So what?". And " Re monster". However it is clearly different and better than both other. "So I'm a spider" has too much skills and level up and a chaotic world without proper antagonist. Demons fighting humans, elves... more>> fighting humans and demons. MC became God but was unable to defeat an elf which wasn't even a god. Whereas Remonster has gross idea of eating humans and it is also without a proper antagonist. It also has a huge number of skills which you can't even remember. Tensura web novel doesn't have level system or a lot of skills. It has proper antagonist and one arc leads to next and story flows pretty smoothly. It doesn't have any gross ideas either.

2. MC is op but not op at the same time. He is OP for those around him. But there is always people stronger than him. This series isn't like those s*upid ideas like God gave me a skill which turned me even stronger than god as soon as I stepped in another world.

3. This series introduced idea of monsters getting stronger by naming and idea of magicules. Since it lacks RPG element, there isn't stuff like " I accidentally defeated strong opponent and my level went crazy high and I became op like this"

4. I don't know why some people count this as a defect that MC is genderless. If there was a gender they would be complaining about thirsty girls or shitty female leads or MC being a simp etc. Some people can never be happy no matter what you do. Fuse sensei has kept this interesting by keeping MC genderless and not focusing on s*x. If someone still wants it, go read re-monster, it's MC is born for s*x.

5. It is a very nice combination of reincarnation, kingdom building, weakest to strongest, strong MC and other genres. Like you read tags and you'll get almost everything described. Some tags are wrong though which I'll discuss later.

6. Now my favorite reason:" MC isn't naive, s*upid or simp. Yes he was pretty ignorant when he came to this world but he learns and these are his words' unlike those characters who has flower fields for brains'. I don't know why these tags are included but he has no need for s*x hence no simping. He isn't naive (I can't give you spoilers but you'll understand when you read it). He isn't s*upid either.

7. My 2nd most favourite reason is the AI skill MC has. It is really unique idea and you'll love it when she evolves and gets better and better at communication and proficiency. He has the best and smartest AI in anime history. If you come to understand how much that AI has done for MC behind the scenes, you'll admire her as much as I do.

8. Lastly, this series has a male, otaku, dragon whose interaction with MC will make you smile. If you've read as much fantasy and isekai manga and novels as I've, you'll understand how refreshing it is to have a male, tsundere to some degree, otaku dragon instead of a loli or pe*verted big oppai dragons.

10. Lastly, MC isn't some pacifist shit. He kills when he is angered. He razed 2 armies of humans when he got attacked. He isn't preacher type either like Naruto.

Now we'll move to some cons:

1. Some characters grow stronger (not suddenly) but without "screentime". That much is to be expected as it is a web novel.

2. Some reviews says that MC is an idiot who spares enemies and let's people insult him. They are immature. First if he lets someone live, It is because of fixed timeline (hinata sakaguchi etc.). He lets people insult him is a wrong statement. He is on very high level than some idiots who call him fake or weak. You don't go around showing everyone you power one to convince them. You simply let dogs bark at you, you don't bite them back.

3. Veldora went on rampage in past but no casualties. S*upid objection which shows reviewer hasn't read carefully. Veldora clearly likes humans and doesn't kill them untill they are foolish. That time in past he went to "play" with a demon lord. It wasn't his plan to kill anybody. When eastern empire attacked, he didnt hold back and razed a city.

That All I HAVE TO SAY. IF YOU WANNA READ THE NOVEL AFTER READING MY REVIEW, I'LL ASSURE YOU THAT IF OUR TASTES MATCH, YOU'LL ENJOY IT.

FOR IDEAL EXPERIENCE! "Watch anime first season, start manga from where anime left and read to the end of MAN AND MONSTER SUMMIT, then read web novel from maybe chapter 81 or 82. Light novel and anime and manga, for the sake of so called action, nerfing MC and making him s*upid. If you want him badass, read like I told ya.

Anime, manga, novels etc. Are for entertainment. People just keep objecting and uselessly ruin the series for newcomers. <<less

Its a good novel, except that theres too much blabbering on each chapter, if you can actually sumarize the chapter, it can be easily done on 200-300 characters without missing a single thing in the story.

but kudos for the translator and editor for this novel, they were able to handle this kind of bullcrap.

I didnt think could drop this story when I started, I read every chapter of the first arcs and remember how nice it was but after it starts to become boring and get to a point when I cant avoid but say is really the same author??

Spoiler

In a point starts to make a lot of characters that looks interesting but dont develop any like the demons that summon Diablo or the Lords in the laberinth Zegion and company, The villan Yuki is a crap his story is a crap hinata is a crap his story make no sense the same like Yuki the characters in his surroundings are crap, the first hero of humankind in that world and his story was a totally bullsh*t even tough a few deaths will be sad and alike in a war dont put any and give perfect victorys is a foolishness the MC instead of learn from the death of Shion and the others keep going easy with his enemys and show mercy to people like those from the empire that dont deserve it they go with the intention of conquer and didnt have any motive for atack him or to the other countrys

This is a story about a slime who is ascending to every monster's dream. Making a town filled with monsters, that is. The author really does a good job with minding the little details, and know where he want to take his creation in to.

MC is not a hero, nor a typical hero stereotype who will save anyone in need. He is a pacifist but willing to do anything in order to protect the town and his family. Not a wimp, just a naive who is used to the usual... more>> peaceful day.

MC and his companion is OP, but there's still many character who is able to squash them flat. The humor is nice, the story line is very enjoyable, characters are very colorful and lovable and the action is definitely enjoyable and not confusing (there will be many large scale battle being depicted).

There is a harem potential, but the author turns it in a way that I'm starting to think the MC as a fatherly figure (wellp, he's old guy and a gender less slime, what do you expect?). Character interaction is very enjoyable and the side story definitely worth the time.

Be warned though, sometime the translation quality would be a bit crummy (but the translator's quality definitely improves overtime, and is doing a good job in this recent chapters), but you can seek enlightenment on the comment section. <<less

The problem with this WN/LN and other Japanese WN/LNs is the naive, happy-go-lucky Japanese beta male fuled by plot armor. I think fact that people forget is that this guy was an ADULT man that got reincarnated. Either he suffers from mental ret*rdation or a cognitive delay. This novel would've gotten a pass from me if I was like 14 but now that I am an adult, it just looks childish. In general:

As someone else said, the one word to describe this novel is "Childish", I honestly really thought that this story would finaly kick when:

Shion and the rest died in that terrorist attack in Tempest

[collapse]

I thought that the novel would finaly become interesting, seeing the reaction of the Main Character related to the tragedy, so he could finaly grow into a real ruler instead of this s*upid childish kid that relies on conveniences all the time, but no..

Spoiler

Everyone is ressurrected with the Dragon Balls and everyone acts like nothing have happened whatsoever! Its like no one died, its like Rimuru didnt fall into rage, accepted the demon lord title, killed 15k people.. No! That never happened, because the moment that everyone wakes up, the story goes back to its childish and goofy style, which is really bad

[collapse]

I belive that if this story was a dark fantasy, would be countless times more exciting, and less cartoony vilains ffs!

3/5! <<less

Nice story, it begins being really fun. And although the characters doesn't really develop, their basic settings are good enough to make the little interactions interesting and fun.

Sadly, as the story progresses, it becomes more and more cliche, the author starts going to deep explaining irrelevant stuff and even starts being a bit too redundant over certain things. Also, some times it feels that Fuse-sensei keeps going on with the story just to realize that there is nothing supporting X or Y and suddenly goes back to trow out a... more>> random explanation in an attempt to "support" it; some times he nails it, but many he misses the shots and just makes you think that it was way better leaving it how it was, in fact you haven't even noticed that it was missing... <<less

Beginning was good, through the end was bad, dropped @c194

Too many plot holes.

Main antagonist - the author tried very hard to make him seem "clever" or "schemer" but its due to plot holes and even the no.2 strongest can be controlled.

... more>>
Spoiler

the author created some "time paradox" to add some spice but doesnt really fit with the story. Its was just forced into the story to create something that feel awesome and wise, but no!

[collapse]

Spoiler

the main antagonist controlled the strongest hero but for only 3 times, the author loses count of that 3 time command, lmao

[collapse]

Spoiler

a strong friend was always away every time there will be fighting, like a "loli gildarts" but you know gildarts is away for some quest or training but that loli friend was just doing some unexplained homework, but shes supposed to be a "carefree" character

[collapse]

Conclusion:

The author came a with a unique plot at the beginning (reincarnated as a slime), gather some awesome story parts from other novel like "time paradox" "scheming, controlling villain" "7 deadly sins" those were cooked together and created a bitter taste (plot holes).

The kingdom building is good though, fun read to kill time, so I gave it a 3/5 rating. <<less

It's plot is great. The character development is stable. Speed of the plot goes up and down and nothing becomes too confusing unless it's meant to be. The MC has fluctuating mood of really kind and very cruel. Overall great. ;)

「Plot armor too strong it ruins the story」

There. That's my review, summed up in one sentence.

For tl;dr version, open the spoiler.

... more>>
Spoiler

At first it was fun to see Rimuru struggled to faced many adversities... and then everything became ruined when a certain delusional s*um got reborn, gone full chuuni emo, tried to destroy the world because of his despair (chill down a bit you third-rate Kinzo's imposter) .

Surprisingly (oh my), that idiot has many supporters who delightfully destroyed everything as they please while maintained high-and-mighty attitudes... only to get completely rekt later by Rimuru's subordinates. Good bye filler charas we won't miss you all.

I feel like the author intended to increased his pace when he wrote that last arc. Sadly, the said pace feel too hurried and destroyed the whole story because new charas keep popping out of nowhere for no reason with no background. Moreover they all were quite overpowered, as if the author thought "screw this I'm lacking OP chara need to make moooaaaarー"

If the author ever planned to make a rewritten version of it, I won't even be surprised.

Very interesting start, interesting path choice but too fast development, sometimes pointless stuff, the story had too much potential but is rushed, 250 chapters are too few, a pity. It would deserve to be 5 star if were build slowlier and better but only deservers 2-3 stars like this.

Interesting stuff right there, boring stuff right there, rushing story rigth there, kawaii characters right there, industry-made characters right there, some jokes right there, OP MC right there, unbalanced allies rigth there, a failed try to make a deep novel right there,... more>> too much wasted potential, but hey, still worth for a 1 shot novel, enjoy. <<less

Overall I would rate it as a 8/10, there are times where it can be boring, but overall the story is pretty enjoyable. The comedic aspect that is added in pretty often is one of my favs, its similar to kumo desu nani ka (im a spider so what?)

Honestly I live this novel and wish I could say it was 10/10 but overall the main cons:

1. There are a lot of useless aspects added into the story, they arent nescessarily the boring part, but it feels a lot like... more>> the MC will mention somthing and youll forget that it existed. Its kinda got an annoying sandbox effect added to it, where you feel like your just digging your hand in and hoping that youll grab onto somthing solid to pull above the surface. When you do it is enjoyable though, more so than most novels ive read.

2. Imagine what I just said, but with characters instead. There are a lot of characters that have great development and diverse personallities in this novel. However there are also a lot of reappearing characters that are considered "important" but lack anything but a scale of their strengths and an unchanging personallity. Often times characters take completely new shapes (literally) and youll think to yourself "who tf is this new dude" every time. Luckily it doesnt happen to often tho.

Other than these 2 cons, I would rate everything as 10/10, its truly a good story and I would reccomend it to anyone able to commit to it and handle the boring moments to get back to the 10/10 part that feels like an actual amazing novel. <<less

This was the first Web Novel I've ever read. (Unless you count Overlord, but I read the Light Novels)

It holds a special place in my heart as the novel that lead me to my obsession of novels.

It's also the first (and only) novel I've ever bought a physical copy for. (Tensura LN Volume 5)

... more>> So yeah, 5 stars lmao. No contest. I read this for hours and hours upon end.

First part is kinda slowish, it's more of getting everything set up, everything built, and everything propped up. The first part is "carefree" and slice of life. Then... oh boy, oh boy. Right now, the manga for this novel is about to hit the fan. The second part of this story and onwards really blew the veins out of my forehead.

Just watch season 1 of the anime, wait actually, scratch that, read the manga up until its current chapter, then read this awesomeness from where it's left off. Zero regrets. <<less

I read the mange first before the novel, and I think the manga is better.

Comparison of Novel vs. Manga:

Novel - more of the MC's thought process/emotions, more dialogue, more filler, more details

... more>> Manga - faster pace, more action and less filler

The novel focuses a lot on the MC's internal monologues and emotions, which personally was a turnoff. This is because the MC's internal monologues sometimes take up 1-2 chapters. I prefer the manga as the pacing is faster and still keeps the important points of the novel intact, so whether one reads the novel or manga, the plot will generally stay the same. Due to the large number of characters that show up in the novel, it is difficult to keep track of who is who at times, while the pictures in the manga helps one to differentiate the specific features of each character.

Overall:

The novel isn't bad, but the amount of info dump and internal monologues is very tedious to read. If you're not a patient person and prefer plots that move faster, then I recommend the manga. <<less

Overall reading this was a blast, and I feel like this is one of the better stories that has come out from Japan. And I feel like I should give this a review (Minor Spoilers Ahead)

This a mostly a journey of our MC namely Rimuru, who is as the title says reincarnated as a slime along with a super cheat the Sage, which later becomes a major plot point. Along the way Rimuru gathers companions, fights monsters, builds a country, and becomes a demon lord. After dozens... more>> of chapters or so he becomes OP, but yeah a there's always enemies that could beat him or almost kill him.

Rimuru's personality is sorta (in my opinion) on the grey side of the moral scale, he isn't a typical cowardly JP protag, and is willing to kill if anyoen is harming him or his allies. But isn't also wantonly mu*dering anyone that displeases him. So if you don' t like that just stay away.

The thing that disliked was the tournament arc, it's just seroisly pointless and boring, however im glad that the story improved by the (Empires Invasion Arc) which personally is one of my favorite arcs.

The ending was actually decent, albeit predictable.

Definitely a solid 4/5. <<less

Summary: A very bare bones Isekai novel that happened to get immensely overrated due to a decent anime adaptation

MC: A supposedly 30+ years old salaryman who gets reincarnated. He is an actual man child and while he isn't utterly s*upid, he does make lots of bad decisions. His character isn't anything special or even particularly entertaining. He gets everything handed to him on a silver platter

SCs: They're serviceable but rather bland. Some of them are just outright intolerable like Shion who exists purely for shitty jokes and gags but most... more>> are perfectly fine.

Action: Good but nothing particularly outstanding

Setting: Miserable. The world is a classic isekai but the power scaling is just-. They go from blowing up rocks to blowing up multiverses somehow. The conditions for becoming powerful are so easy to achieve when the MC does it and yet nobody else seems to be able to do it.

In short, it's a decent Isekai for passing the time. You should ignore the children saying its peak but don't write it off as 'bad' instantly. <<less

Phenomenal storytelling. The concept, art, character development, world building, and action scenes are top-tier. I love it.

The plot of the novel is good. It's not dragging or it does not spout much bullsh*t about justice, hope and other friendship power sh*t. The character development is also good and realistic.

One of the best isekai/fantasy. (Though regrettably there are no romance.)

All in all I can say I like it.....
