I know a lot of people were complaining that the show got slow, but I find all the stuff going on really interesting this season.

I’m really enjoying it but I also understand the other view. I would say it might be more fun to binge all at once since we’re waiting a week between multiple episodes with worldbuilding/slice-of-life without the story advancing far. But I’m a longtime Civilization and SimCity fan and honestly some of my favorite parts of the show are about building up the JTF and the diplomacy with other nations.

One of the coolest things about isekai is I find a lot of writers use it as a springboard to the genre they actually want to write.
Reading "only the villainous lord has the power to level up" was crazy because it's this big epic political story and that's where I really realized how much authors are just using the gimmick as a springboard to a story that really isn't remotely isekai-like.

Yeah, and it’s very hard to predict based on isekai titles whether you’re going to encounter that kind of worthwhile passion project or one of the very silly ones.
I actually avoided Slime for a couple years because the title didn’t draw me in - I though it sounded uninspired and derivative just based on the name. Little did I know I was missing out on one of the most interesting and complex isekai worlds until I gave it a shot and was immediately hooked.
