I will think about it I am doing this so Mc gets the waifus more easily and Rimuru kinda doesn't exactly behave like a male (though he is genderless) other than the fact it has an elf fetish you can give me your opinion. I am seeking opinion in such cases. I will make Rimuru male and give him Shuna or some Oc, etc .and Make him a Bro.

make rimuru a woman in previous life and keep him genderless in tensura world, and u can develop story around it

That was the plan(If I made Rimuru female ) though I will develop the relationship between Mc and her.

Skip to the third paragraph as the second one is just me ranting. I don’t really know but there quite a lot of waifus you can pull on in Tensura the pool is quite huge you can even go with Diablo and guy since they can canonically turn into female and is just fine with that kind of thing the elf’s are all beautiful just take a pick. There’s the girl princess from the dumb party of three. Don’t touch milim she basically a child. Luminus is a possible. Forest spirits. Apito. The pool is quite huge no need to change quite literally one of the most significant characters it is actually harder than making a new character if you think about it this is a character that an author put hundreds of hours into people changing them is also basically just making a new character and using them as a place holder for the original. My opinion is that if you do choose to gender bender rimuru just make a new female character to take his place go ahead give her a different name than rimuru you can keep the last name tempest if you want or you can change it up if you really want, give her a more feminine personality or even tomboyish but I do ask don’t just keep rimuru the way he is and just say he was a women in his past life and that he like men that is not really good writing it leave a we still have a impression on who rimuru is and when I see a genderbend story and Im reading about that character I don’t want to read it and for it to remind me of the original character because that’s going to make me think of them of the original.

Hmm, man you confused me 😵

Like I said a lot of ranting

DO IT

Is it gender bending? Last I checked Rimururu was genderless but his appearance leaned towards female (Although his souls was male)

Really depends on how you see it
