This isn't the first show where a mid-30s businessman gets reincarnated as a different gender anyways. And even if there aren't many good girls is that even a problem?

I might have shit taste on this but I like isekai where MC keeps getting interesting powers and uses them.

While I won't lie and say there isn't some appeal to seeing some nation-building, it never feels quite as compelling as other works that feature nigh-invulnerable main characters.

There could be some conflicts to make it interesting. It gets a little boring when it's just:
>A "problem" appears
>I'll use my OP powers to beat it in one fell swoop
>"Problem" is gone, I got even more OP powers and even more people wants to gobble my cock
I get that isekai is pretty much just that but it doesn't mean it doesn't get boring. At least in Overlord mostly everyone hates/fears Ainz so it's a little twist to the formula. It just gets boring when the MC goes to some king and gets them to love them with no effort and then he meets a giant monster that also falls in love with them for no reson and then they find a hot spring and everyone sucks the MCs cock for introducing this wonderful new thing to them and then the most evil powerful thing in the world shows up to fuck shit up but the MC feeds them some of his semen and they join the harem. I know it's just the way it is but it would be a lot more interesting to have the MC work with some inferior skill to kill opponents with planning and not just have them get an OP skill at the start that they easily use to get more OP, like the "eat your opponent to get their skills" stuff.

Both of you are correct, its the same formula every time and a truly different approach would be celebrated if done well. In this particular case, MC being a slime and not immediately jumping to god killer status is the novelty. Its like Death March minus the harem by episode 3 and minus the ease of making MC a human. That alone makes it interesting even if in the grand scheme its a totally worthless repeat of the same story.

It's not isekai as it's literally a game but there's a manhua called Hardcore Leveling Warrior that does exactly that.

And Rimuru doesn't evolve into a human form: Just look at the skills he has displayed and the answer is obvious. If you can't put two and two together: He uses predator and mimicry like he did for the cave monsters and alpha wolf

The hero arrives at a strange place after death with no powers or skills, only knowledge of his past life.
Not even born noble, is the abandoned son of a prostitute.
Other people have also Isekai'd into the world before and have already tried to create modern amenities, with little to no luck. With one exception
Villain of first arc would probably be an Inquisitor hunting down Isekai'd people because they're a threat to the societal order
Second Villain would be someone who Isekai'd into nobility. And uses knowledge of his past life to "invent".

I wish Goblin Slayer had this kind of production quality. The slime anime is pretty boring though, I watched 7 or 8 episodes at once and it was like a little snack, not worth waiting for new episodes one by one. Gotta be decent when all 24 eps are ready. Well, unless animation quality drops.

Grimgar isekai is "realistic", where all aliens are basically slaves with no rights forced to adventure, although it's rather mediocre. The isekai genre is not that bad, I really liked first season of Log Horizon, and some others are at the very least decent enough to binge, such as: KonoSuba, Re:Zero, No Game No Life.

Funny enough, I'm reading both of these.
The dragon one is pretty good. It has a steady sense of growth, and the protagonist really struggles to earn his power. Every time they flash a screen with his list of skills, you can read them off and recall when and why he got them because it's all shown on screen.
The demon lord one is...okay? It's still to early to form a concrete opinion, but it looks like it's less about the world and it's systems and more about incorporating cute girls into his dungeon home. Probably the biggest strike against it is that the MC just had knowledge shoved into his brain instead of showing us what he learned.

In this one, Truck-sama's cousin, Bookshelf-sama, crushes a woman who then gets reincarnated into a low-fantasy dark ages tech setting. She's obsessed with books though, and in a low-literature setting, where only nobles own books, and maybe 5 people in a village know how to write.

Oh, there's also Isekai Farmer, which, hilariously, the MC is overpowered, but they hand-wave basically everything in favor of the main conflict: getting more men into what is otherwise a Harem series with too many women.
>Main Character asks for a life of no disease, danger, or battle. Just wants to be a farmer.
>Reincarnates with an Omnitool that does literally everything for farming. Also a super OP weapon.

>MC befriends wolves
>MC plants crops
>MC builds outhouses
>MC befriends giant spider who makes him silk
>MC makes Pottery
>MC throws a spear at a wyvern, terrifying the local demon king.
Then the women start showing up. By the dozens. First it's a Vampire, then it's a Fuckton of Elves.
>They skip over the Harem Hijinks entirely. Girls rotate sex with the MC
>Not even Lewd, they just fade to black.
>Then More women show up. Like, Tons more.
>In the end the entire village is 95% women.
>The remaining men are either the MC, Lizardmen whose biology differs way too much from the other humanoids, or children.
The entire series hand-waves basically everything that should be a major conflict or source of story in favor of one thing:
This guy, for all his supremely healthy body God gave him is worth, can't keep up with a village of sex-crazed women.
It's fucking hilarious because it's essentially about a Harem Protagonist whose goal in life is to find some men to take a few dozen women off his hands to he can stop being a Harem Protagonist,

The series has quite a big cast and they all start their life in the fantasy world in a different way. Some get super powers or special skills after they got isekai'd but are otherwise just like they were in Japan. Others get a new body, like one former OL get's turned into an alcoholic little girl and one character even starts their life over completely, "isekai mushoku tensei"-style.

Edgiest fucking Isekai ever, and I'm not joking. The LN is all kinds of fucked up, and would make Goblin Slayer blush. The Manga itself is, we suspect, the Mangaka making the comic a parody of the book it's adapting. Take the most cliche and edgiest choices ever for an Isekai, starting with a sadistic childlike god being the one who transports them, out of boredom, and go from there. Now play each trope straight and so earnest you can't help but laugh at how hard this manga is apparently trying to do the same thing you've seen in every other edgy series ever. It's a great unintentional comedy.
