an amoral murder spider is downright quaint compared to the hosed up monsters that comprise the majority of isekai protagonists.

Literally all of them have some degree of fairly severe mental trauma and extreme coping mechanism, Shun included (his blandness is an enforced affectation. All the "this isn't Japan any more" poo poo he catches from everyone else is warranted because he's actively refusing to acknowledge that fact). The one handling the situation best is, funnily enough, Fae.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to fault the amoral murder spider when she goes murdering. And she's at least trying to avert an apocalypse, when she's not trying to avoid being murdered by all the beings way above her power level.

So starting out with a baseline somewhat similar to a solitary, small-to-medium scavenger and/or opportunistic predator (like raccoon, skunk, weasel, etc.), but taking into acoount much lesser mobility, let's say a slime's population density is 1 per square kilometer. Also tied to low mobility and metabolism, I would guess a fairly low reproduction rate. She must have completely depopulated an area equivalent to a fairly large country, say maybe 2 million square kilometers? Which is equivalent to the area of Mexico or Saudi Arabia. Probably enough to gently caress up an entire ecosystem.

Yeah, it looks like I lost a digit there at the end. I was working off the manga that says she has 10,840,086 xp which should work out to 2,710,021.5 slimes over three years.

Canonically Slimes generally have a very rapid reproduction rate, 3 million or so slimes over 300 years is not anywhere close to depopulation. thats only really 30000 slimes a year.

If you scrub 25 mold spots a day for 300 years you still haven't gotten good headway on the mold population.

That's a good point, I guess I was thinking about each slime as being a distinct enclosed organism, but if it's for example constantly leaving spores or parts of it's body on the ground as it moves, then there could potentially be an unlimited supply of slimes. Thank you all, I will submit these findings to the Proceedings of the Isekai Academy of Ecology.

Newest findings suggest that slimes posses a soul, capable of aggregating into spirits. Some are also sapient and study magic or martial arts.

And we've been aware of the existence of Goo-d slimes since 1990.

"Elf forest" lol. This was a really bad scene, ngl. The tiling pattern, the lack of shadows on the 2D characters, the desert in the middle of the forest.

Just realized that the characters on the right don't even have shadows. Why did they even do that scene? Just so they could end the episode with a sword clash between Shun and Hugo? That's how the previous episode ended. They should spend more time explaining things, like why a demon army, led by Ariel, was approaching the elf village, only for a human army led by Hugo to attack the elf village. Also Shun looks like a dork in that helmet.
