That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Vol. 17 (light novel) (Volume 17)

We all knew what this volume was going to be like from the ratings but it's not bad at all. And yes it's a filler but, the short stories here fill in a little bit about the side characters and their perspective on the events that've happened, which I felt was a nice change of pace. There's a little bit of romance, a little peek into the underbelly of the world and a sneak peek into the cliffhanger at the end of the last volume, which I enjoyed. And if you like any of the things mentioned above, you'll like this volume.

It was a great anthology that really rewards long time readers. It's great to get a perspective on the world outside of Rumiru, how much change has happened over the series. It's also fleshed out a ton of world building and really filled in all the gaps. I also loved the fleshing out of characters we usually just see running around in the background like Mjöllmile, and seeing the great burden Rumiru puts on his people in power. But the chapter I surprisingly enjoyed the most was the perspective of Raine. I had no strong feelings about the blue or green demons, but I actually care what happens to those 2 now. It's great to see they actually have a personality underneath that maid exterior. After all this setup, I can't wait for what I assume will be the beginning of the final Arc next book!

Everyone complaining about the short stories made me think this would suck. But it tied in really well. The 2nd one was really good actually. It kind of felt like the spin-offs in the way that they’re official canon stories that don’t fit during the main timeline, but are part of it. The times characters went off and did things, or things were alluded to, that we didn’t get adequate information on bc it would take forever to explain. And here’s the explanation. A lot of really good gems in there of world building and character background too.

That is about my only gripe about this book. Like usual, for a Slime book, it was silly, it was funny, and if you haven't read the other books you'll be utterly lost. Unfortunately, like I've said before, it is a short story collection, and I LOATHE those.

So much back stories i won't complain learning so much of the little things that we wanted is great just getting it at an unexpected time is what's throwing me for a Loop. Lol anyway it was fun and exciting to learn so much with Velgrynd and Raine stories bout the history and lore

I am not sure if that’s how light novel works. But I didn’t read even one page completely. I see this as unnecessary explanation for character. Wast of a chapter. My opinion!!

Its Reincarnated as a Slime, of course its goodp

My son loves this series and this is another great book according to him

Me gusta mucho esta serie, y pensé que los comentarios negativos de este volumen eran exagerados, de fans que nunca están contentos con nada, pero no!! Es aburridísimo!! La oportunidad perfecta para desarrollar personajes poco vistos o situaciones no exploradas pero no, mucha verborrea sin nada qué decir.

Das wäre wirklich ein perfektes Beispiel für ein ".5" Volume (wie Kuma kuma kuma bear 11.5, nur leider ist diese Ausgabe von Tensura nichtmal ansatzweise so spannend) und ich befürchte das dieses gesamte, Irrelevante Volume ebenfalls im Anime vorkommt - sollte dieser denn über eine Season 3, vielleicht noch 4, hinausgehen...

This book can be easily skipped. It’s not a part of the main story just something the author threw in to stretch out the ending as the story is coming to a close. It should have been part of a side series that isn’t part of the main story.

Good book, good condition and price.
