Publisher's Summary

Under the protection of the gods, a relaxed life with slimes in another world begins!

One day, the life of middle-aged Japanese businessman Ryoma Takebayashi came to a rather sudden and disappointing end. Ryoma had never had a blessed life, but after his death, three great gods sought his cooperation and reincarnated him as a child in another world with swords and magic!

Predictable but Relaxing

Nothing innovative here as far as “living a second life in a magical world after suffering from overwork in Japan” stories go, but I found this one more calm and charming than most. The guy just loves to study slimes and is grateful for his new life. No harem or sexualized teenagers to be seen so far.

I didn’t like how the narrator did the main character after the intro at first, but it grew on me, and there are pretty good voices for some other characters.
