Reader’s Question:
I recently bought and finished reading the first 15 volumes of the light novel series “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.” I’m thinking about purchasing the next volumes, but could you please let me know where the next major arc or storyline begins?
Getting Lost in “That Time
I Got Reincarnated as a Slime”
You know, there’s something truly magical about diving into a light novel series that captures your imagination. Recently, I wrapped up the first 15 volumes of “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime,” and let me tell you, it was quite the journey! If you’ve ventured into this fantastical world, you probably understand how easy it is to get swept away by the characters and their antics.
The Transition to the Next Arc
So, after finishing volume 15, which concludes the Eastern Empire arc, I was left hanging, eagerly anticipating what’s next. I discovered that the next major arc is called the “Tenma War” arc. But here’s the kicker: it doesn’t dive right into the action. Instead, volumes 16 to 18 serve as a sort of bridge between arcs. Volume 16 deals with the aftermath of the war with the Eastern Empire and sets the stage for the upcoming Tenma War. It’s like a warm-up lap before the real race begins. The pacing might feel a bit slow, but trust me, it’s all part of the build-up. Then volume 17 is essentially a side story—think of it as that quirky, offbeat episode in a series that you didn’t know you needed until you watched it. Finally, volume 18 brings all the tension and excitement as we see the preparations for the Tenma War unfold. I had my little moments of frustration, though. I mean, I was so eager to jump into the action, but getting to know the characters more deeply was rewarding. It’s like meeting a friend who’s been through a lot; you just want to hear their story!
My Personal Reflections
What I love about this series is how it blends humor with action. I still chuckle thinking about Rimuru and his hilarious interactions with both allies and foes. The comedy is spot on; it reminds me of those moments when I’d be out with friends, sharing laughs over the most mundane things. It’s those little quirks that make the characters feel so real and relatable. I also can’t help but think about how I sometimes get so wrapped up in my own little world, just like Rimuru. I mean, here I am, a dad who sometimes arrives too early at school pick-up, snacking on random goodies while waiting. It’s those small imperfections that make life colorful, right?
