Btw have no idea how many chapters I've read of the novel but I've read halfway through volume 13
Spoiler!!




So another disclosure, so of the stuff I've read has been machine translated and as such some things may have been lost in translation.

I've always held tensura in high regard, being one of my favorite shows because it's everything that I want, its relatively funny, slice of life, isekai with no real stakes so that I don't have to worry if any of my favorite characters dies. But this does not exactly make for a great story which is where this novel is lacking. Although the ... story isn't bad, it's not close to a masterpiece and the way the story is told sometimes is very... enduring to say the least. It's a lot of he did this then he did that and this happened because of this or that. Not only that Rimuru literally just gets carried by great sage/ciel, like he's not stupid but he's definitely not on the level of intelligence of Yuuki who is also stupid op. But none of that matters because great sage makes of for everything, she can literally fight for him and can calculate everything in an instant, sooooooo op. Now that's just everyone in tempest, Rimuru has basically befriended everyone who poses a threat, and even then they try to pull the betrayal thing like with Milim, it doesn't matter cause we know that she's still friends with him and would never side with clayman. And just to list some of the people that Rimuru has working directly under him or is friend with: 4 primordials (the race that guy is) Milim, Veldora, and much more, but that should paint a picture enough. The point im trying to get across with this is that Rimuru and everyone in tempest is so op, that there are no real stakes, u know that Rimuru is going in the end no matter what, and the nobody semi important to the story will die either, and that drags down the story. But at the end of the day, tensura is not about having a good story full of meaning and depth, it's just a slime going around trying to make his perfect world with the friends he makes along the way, having fun and ejoying life, and it does that job with flying colors.
