Note: I read the free web novel version

Honestly, this web novel just wasn't working for me. The basic premise is that the main character dies and gets resurrected as a slime in a fantasy world. Sounds interesting? I thought so too, but unfortunately he ends up with some pretty overpowered skills right away, so there is no tension. I was just wondering "does he solve this by using overpowered skill A? Or is it going to be overpowered skill B?". I also didn't like how nearly all of the disadvantages of being a slime just get solved without any problems. From a storytelling perspective I can understand why, but if you create a character that cannot see or talk I'd like that to actually pose a genuine problem before it gets resolved, because the way it happened in the story just didn't feel earned.

Now the story isn't all bad, there is some potential like monster races being actual people and I heard that the published light novel is quite different, so hopefully that version of the story is more enjoyable.

TLDR: Read the light novel version instead, because the free web novel version is pretty boring.
