RPG Gamers will get more out of this series than anyone else, and as the popularity of the series proves, there's a lot of crossover between gamers and anime fans.

In Japanese fantasy stories, the Church is inspired by the Catholic church and often portrayed as the bad guys, bigoted and brutal. He negotiates peace and makes as many factions his friends as possible.īut as Rimiru's power base grows, he gets the attention of outside factions, from other demon lords, kingdoms and even the Church. The most subversive comedy in the series is that Rimiru is not a hotshot teen wannabe action hero but a thirtysomething office manager, so he treats every crisis and hazard as an office politics problem to solve. Rimiru also has the ability to level up the creatures and characters in the world, which is another of his God Mode abilities. There are warring species, human kingdoms, a church that pushes xenophobic beliefs and gods and demons. FUSE creates a fairly complex world for Rimiru to work his way through it, quietly conquering his way through it. It's a God-like Slime's WorldĪ decent Isekai story wouldn't work without proper world-building. There are probably sex fetish slime stories out there, but they belong to the adult, or hentai, category and not for a general audience.
That someone is the author of That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, FUSE (a pen name, of course). Slime would keep popping up as random combat encounters give players some extra HP.Īnd of course, someone in Japan would decide one day that a slime should be the hero of a fantasy tale. The player usually encountered Slime randomly on the road and fought them for Hit Points (HP). When Japan first adapted Western fantasy RPGs, they introduced Slime instead of rats. Western RPGs often started by sending the player into a basement to kill rats as a combat tutorial and also to level up for the first time. Slime started out as starter level enemies in Japanese RPG games like Dragon Quest.
