That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Vol. 2 (light novel)

by Fuse

[Quirky Cat]

Summary:

Mikami's life hasn't gone as planned – or hoped. Unfortunately, his left was a fair bit shorter than ended. The one bit of good news is that he woke up in a new world. The strange news? He's now a slime.

Now that Rimuru is in charge of a village, he needs to step things up and ensure they're taken care of. Step one, find some better builders. That's why he was in the Dwarven Kingdom, to begin with. Which may or may not have kicked off a bit of chaos...

Review:

As expected, the series is getting more interesting by the minute. It makes it easy to understand why so many people gush about That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. I think I have another volume or two to go before I'm truly hooked.

The biggest problem is that much of the story is still pretty slow. Yet the main character keeps getting what he wants in leaps and bounds. I know that sounds contradictory, but bear with me here. They're still fleshing out the world, and that takes time. However, the main character's power continues to grow, though sometimes in unpredictable ways.

In truth, I'm not sure how to feel about the main arc of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Vol. 2. On the one hand, it was nice to see Rimuru leveled by such a human event. On the other hand, I don't know where this will go or what potential implications it will have. Only time will tell, I guess?
