I didn't read the manga or light novel but I think yeah, even in the last two episodes they showed sora(slime) getting bigger and able to heal her. so I think she will become stronger and definitely by the monsters she gonna tame. Just my theory

That "bedtime story" definitely sounded like a prophecy that Ivy will save the world one day

Or is she always struggling the entire story?

I can't really get into anime where the MC is just weak the entire time.

parece que con el tiempo se ara más fuerte, solo estoy viendo el anime así que no lo sé

pero aún así está muy bien el anime
súper recomendado

Hmm. Obvious spoilers ahead. Tread at your own will.

Short Answer: She stays in her support role while her companions get decently strong in their own fields.

Ivy is a child with very little magic. Her main role is the glue that keeps the team together and her unusual aptitude for befriending certain kinds of monsters.

Sora is also a support role. Healing and, eventually, sword producing, support.

The anime won't get too far into how her party grows, aside from the big cat (who is stronk), so don't expect a sudden burst in power or similar for the finale. Ivy's main draw is that she is smart and resourceful. She is certainly not weak in the total sense. She may not be a strong warrior or a masterful magician, but she has her own ways of fighting against fate. We just got through how she got to where she is. It is only forward for her from here on out.

******LN SPOILERS FOR FUTURE COMPANIONS*****

Ivy gets more companions as well. The big cat is a species that counts as one of the top in the world in terms of strength. However, Ciel is a runt of the litter so isn't as strong as the rest of her kind. But more than enough for basically any normal human threat. Big problem is Ciel is a big cat... so she can't go into towns with them.
She gets another slime that is also support, a red one named Flame. Flame can cure diseases and restore magic stones. Some of the magic stones are pretty strong...
One more slime is Sol and probably the strongest of the slimes in terms of combat. A black, little slime that can eat magic. Be that magic from degraded magic items, magic circles, or from corrupted monsters/animals.
She also get a tree monster baby. That one is more support right now but also has methods of greatly helping the party.

She also gets a human companion who, while not as strong as his prime, is pretty buff. He acts as the main fighter along with Ciel. The anime will end just before his appearance or it will tease his appearance once we finish the final arc at the current pace.

Ivy may be hiding something even she doesn't know about but there is no "I AM ACTUALY SUPER DUPER OP!!!!!" trope in this story.

For this, the bedtime story was a complete circle. The prophecy in the story was also resolved in the story. The beginning of the story talked about the war and how the mages got together to prophecy the outcome. They saw the end of the world. The only way to stop it was with the power of someone from outside the world. The person came and used a strange magick that prevented the end of the world but... Ivy's memory of the rest of the story ends when describing the magicks for some reason.

After that, the world went on. Given Luba's comment that the skill system wasn't always in place, this is also probably when the skill system began or near the starting of when the skill system was created.

EDIT: I misremembered part of the story. See below for the written-up story. The prophesy was only in relation to the end of the world. The forgotten magic part that mentions the children from another world is more in relation to how special the magic the mages used was.

Obviously, they get stronger. What a weird question.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Seeing the current rating and follower count as well as likes on reddit. Very much yes.

The amount of care put into this anime is pretty impressive considering the low expectations of it.

Definitely shaping up to be in one of my top lists so far.

You don't have to punch a monster really hard or cast a super-fire-ball to be strong.

Look at Myne in bookworm, she has a lot of mana of course, but even then, magic is not her strongest impact on the world around her.

@Callidin Huh. I was under the impression that the mages cast the spell, the spell was lost to time, and the one who would use it again was an otherworlder in the future (I.E., Ivy)

@Fail_Man_X Ah, you are correct. Here is the story below (forgive any awkward points, I am translating directly while watching that section).

"A long long time ago the world was at war. One day, the kind gathered mages/magicians who could tell the future and had them predict what would happen with the war. The future they saw was the end of the world. It was a very dreadful future. The mages conferred with each and used a great magic to protect the world. That magic is now forgotten, and nobody can use. But children who have come from another world can use the forgotten magic. That magic is now nowhere to be found, magic that no one remembers, magic that no one knows what is does, and magic that never existed. Large, scary, quiet, lonely, untouchable, empty magic... "

I got caught on the past tense way in which she mentioned "child from another world". Specifically, she used the term "kita", which is past tense for "kuru" or "to come [from]". In this case, she was saying that "only children 'who have come[past tense]' from another world can use it[current tense]".

In regard to the prophecy, the child was not actually prophesied, it was just the end of the world that was prophesied. The mages did in fact use the magic that saved the world and the part of about the children is referring just to the magic that was used (still super important information). Makes one wonder if the mages were also from another world or meddled with other worlds in some way.

I actually hope she or her slime never get OP power.
Tired of every fantasy's MC need to have ridiculous power to venture through the story.

She's definitely going to get stronger, but probably (physically) just in another season because first: She's a child, the history and the characters treat her like an actual child. Other animes tend to make the characters like, super overpowered not caring about the character's age.
Second: the first parts are focusing the mental health of her's, since even though she has some memories from her past life, she still went through a lot being basically a baby.

This anime is more a serious one than "just" a cliche isekai where the MC if Male get overpowered, and if woman get a ML to spend romance and basically just focusing on it.

I am kind of worried I really like the story but it is so slow paced I'm not sure when the real story will begin. I hope it gets enough seasons to do it justice but I'm just a little nervous when good slow burns like this don't get the 24 episode treatment, so much can go wrong with trying to get another season.

Well she already has a "deus ex" (kind of) big cat on her side (beats 3 star sprinters with ease, which has to be OP).
I hope Ivy isn't actually a 5 star tamer or something (mistakenly assumed to have 0 stars). We can have a good story where MC doesn't necessarily needs to be strong or excel at something.
