Slime is pretty wholesome but it's incredibly boring.

At its best its comfy. At it's worst its tedious. There's nothing to hate, but there really isn't that much to like either.

Dungeon Meshi (whenever that comes out) has incredible worldbuilding and is directly DnD inspired (even though it isn't an isekai).

If you aren't restricted to watching, read the manga

You could potentially do something interesting with a setting where societal disapproval literally caused you to burst into flames, but I doubt that's what this author was going for.

Really enjoyed this.

Hardly unique. Lack of any meaningful challenge is what prevents an awful lot of bad isekais from at least attaining the heights of "decent schlock"

He certainly has the moral character to fit right in

Yeah I must've seen this and just bailed immediately because I'm super behind on the series now.

I get the feeling the guy doing the translation does actually have at least some idea of how to read Japanese given some of the TNs. You wouldn't know it was MTL if they didn't disclaim.

We don't need an enlightened despot, we need one who is completely in the dark.

Kumoko at least has some real struggles going on and creative fight (... design? choreography?) by the author.

I'm tired of these plots where it's trivial to do better than the previous life

Although actually, reincarnated as a person in a position of extreme power who is in the middle of a downfall and who has legitimately done extremely messed up things in the past but still has potential to do good is an interesting notion.


You know, reincarnated into the body of stalin in 1929 or Nero the day after Rome burned, or something.
