I went into this novel with low hopes as this is a fairly common genre. I was presently surprised by the quality of the story and the attention to details. Have I seen better YES, but it was worth continuing for a while. The fight scenes are ok and the town development aspect of it as well as the handling of mundane issues are well done. The protagonist's internal monologue is believable and realistic as it is some disordered. Here is where things go south, spoilers ahead: The slimes themselves are overpowered, given the context of the world it is really unclear why. The power system is interesting as well as the formation stuff, but too much too quickly the author does not really give us a chance to get used to a new aspect of the world or new plot thread before jumping to the next. The protagonist's personality goes through the common shift from "I will be the best through hard work" to "I must act above others and look for trouble for the sake of plot". A severe lack of other perspectives for a novel with so many characters and a really out of place time skip are problems as well. To the author, this is good, but it could be much better. I still applaud your effort and dedication to this and hope you can write a story that you will enjoy
