I'd have thought this would be clear by now but the series really is about him building his nation. It is the primary point of the series.

The anime does a really poor job of explaining Yohm and his group. They are a group of convicts sent in by a noble of Falmuth because they were expendable and the guy with glasses was sent as their handler but betrays Falmuth for them.

Really enjoying these reactions, and I had a few of the same doubts originally watching, but the second season really made me appreciate all the world building. I hope to see more of this series.

Season 2 is definitely more hype than season 1 for sure. It's also much more serious and much darker in certain parts. It has the same world building and relationship building with other countries but the hype is much better. Cant wait for the Slime movie to come out next year too!!

The end of season 1 feels repetitive because it's a setup for future episodes. Think of it as a Slice of Life with occasional fighting. I think you're rushing for there to be conflict and big twists and turns a bit too quick. The show is much better when binge-watched. Don't forget you're not even halfway through the anime, and the anime has barely covered 1/4 of the source material so far. Think of it as a prologue. The main thing to remember is that this series' main theme is nation building, not fighting.

It's worth the wait. You might need to watch some extra episodes before the start of season two. It has some extra set up that is very important to know heading into the next season.

I would agree slime has big build up it takes a lot of time in season 1 to world build. Conflict definitely picks up a lot in season 2 but it definitely is a slow burn in. I personally think its worth though season 2 was hella hype imo. But I also like world building in animes its a great way to get me invested in the world and care about what is going on.

It doesn't hurt to add a "please" when asking someone to do something. :)

While I know another of people enjoy this anime (as well as I at some points throughtout). I 100% understand how you feel about it, especially if you have seen other isekai before. You just kind of want something a bit more new especially in the conflict department, it also doesn't help that you've seen overlord prior to this. Slime is fun for what it is but if you do decide to drop it you aren't missing out on anything revolutionary in regard to anime for sure

Honestly, I'm a big fan of slime. The last bit of Season 1 is definitely a bit of a drag in terms of pacing. It's a lot more slow paced, feel good stuff that you expect more from a slice of life anime.
But Season 2 has some of the best hype. I enjoyed Season 2 of Slime, more than any single season of Overlord. Honestly, I feel like you'd have more enjoyment just watching it on your own or if you just binged it.

While things do ramp up in Season 2 in the end Slime is mostly about the nation building. Conflict is part of it but a lot of it is developing new things, recruiting new people, macro and micromanaging Tempest, playing politics etc. Flashy battles and threats will come along but it will never be the focus of Slime.

Yeah, things really ramp up in season 2. In fact, season 1 almost feels like a set-up season because of that.

So I'm glad that you're still proceeding with this series, and yes the season thus far has been heavily focused on world building and relationship building, but it's been in an entertaining way, right? They even threw in the occasional conflict of escalating difficulty so as to ensure that it doesn't get too entrenched in that genre and to make things exciting.
The way that I found helps is to focus on the videogame aspects of this series and to think of this season as the opening levels of a game, the "tutorial levels" in other words. As you're probably aware, having played games yourself, the opening levels of many games but especially RPGs serve to introduce players to the world and the characters in it at a low to moderate difficulty setting, thus letting them get a feel for what they can do and what their limitations are, letting them get comfortable with it and invested for the long haul. So too is it here. With Charybdis on its way and 6 episodes remaining in the season I wouldn't be expecting any other major conflicts taking place this season.
Having said that, after you wrap up this season and watch the OAD episodes (episodes 3-5 at least) you should look forward to both parts of Season 2..Being a bit of a gamer yourself I think you're aware of what happens when the game is done with holding your hand, so I hope you're ready.
