And with the conflicts essentially resolved at this point, I’m excited to see how life shapes up for Rimuru and his friends going forward.more Hats off to the quality of the English translation too. While How I Was Reincarnated As A Slime feels like it’s directed at a younger audience than most of the other light novels I’ve picked up, I continue to enjoy it just for the sheer quality of the story, characters, and writing. It was an extremely satisfying conclusion for the first arc. aren’t depowered or anything like that, but we’re given a pretty clear demonstration that there’s always a bigger fish.
