Summary

WHEN IT RAINS， IT POURS！

Despite Rimuru's absence， things seem to be proceeding fairly smoothly in the newborn nation of Tempest。 But there's trouble brewing elsewhere: The nearby Kingdom of Farmus's top brass are planning an invasion of Tempest， and at the same time， Rimuru's demon lord friend Milim Nava has declared war on Tempest's ally， the Beast Kingdom of Eurazania。 As if things couldn't get any worse， all communication between Rimuru and his crew back home has suddenly gone silent in their hour of need！ Tempest may be in for some hard times ahead-but this steadfast slime isn't throwing in the towel just yet。 He has a plan。。。and it's downright demonic！

I noticed several typos in my print version which detracted from my enjoyment of this novel。 Fortunately， I'd watched the anime before reading the novels so I was able to keep the characters straight despite the errors。 I noticed several typos in my print version which detracted from my enjoyment of this novel。 Fortunately， I'd watched the anime before reading the novels so I was able to keep the characters straight despite the errors。 。。。more

This is it。 This is the one volume where Rimuru's power， already formidable to begin with， just plain cascades into absolute overpowered territory。 （view spoiler）[I mean， in this volume alone he attains true demon lord status， ressurrection arts so his companions never need to die， a total of three Unique Skills （one of which has even gained sentience）， a named Arch Demon as a butler， a True Dragon as a friend， and a specialy tailored gift for each and every one of Tempest's monstrous population This is it。 This is the one volume where Rimuru's power， already formidable to begin with， just plain cascades into absolute overpowered territory。 （view spoiler）[I mean， in this volume alone he attains true demon lord status， ressurrection arts so his companions never need to die， a total of three Unique Skills （one of which has even gained sentience）， a named Arch Demon as a butler， a True Dragon as a friend， and a specialy tailored gift for each and every one of Tempest's monstrous population as part of the Harvest Festival。And that's just after he wipes out a whole country's military might。 Just to give an idea of how OP our mighty slime has become。 And this is， what？ Volume 5 of a planned 22 volume saga？ I just can't imagine what loftier heights Rimuru's power has still to reach。（hide spoiler）] 。。。more

As intense as ever。 It’s becoming clear that there will be clear differences between the web novel and the light novel and I am all for it。 I cannot wait to pick up the next one。

This was a gripping and exciting continuation of the story， one I couldn’t put down as long as I was awake！ I’m very eager to start up volume 6， so I’m so glad I bought them at once to indulge in my reading binge。

Not good。 Do not recommend at all。 Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Volume 5 is nonsensical and illogical。 2k+ patrol troops that cannot detect enemy knights in full armor， and do not disarm foreigners like in the Dwarven Kingdom is impossible。 The all Knowing and all feeling dryads were nowhere to be seen。 The security detail and alarms did not work。 The enemy placed 2 magic barriers over Rimuru capital because the author was too lazy to come up with a logical and interesting plot twist-action ar Not good。 Do not recommend at all。 Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Volume 5 is nonsensical and illogical。 2k+ patrol troops that cannot detect enemy knights in full armor， and do not disarm foreigners like in the Dwarven Kingdom is impossible。 The all Knowing and all feeling dryads were nowhere to be seen。 The security detail and alarms did not work。 The enemy placed 2 magic barriers over Rimuru capital because the author was too lazy to come up with a logical and interesting plot twist-action arc in this light novel。 The main character Rimuru is having a vacation "teaching 5 kids" that were Shizu's pupils。 As if any of that was really important to Jura-Tempest Federation。 There is no real reason tying Rimuru to the five summoned students。 There was no promise made and prioritizing these 5 kids over thousands of citizens of Tempest Federation is crazy。 Rimuru is lord over the Jura Forest。 The author "conveniently forgets" all of these reasons to come up with a stupid plot twist of a Holy War。 The author forgets that both the dwarven kingdom and Blumund have military and commercial agreements。 Farma and the Holy Empire do not have any jurisdiction or reason to invade a foreign nation nor have they declared a formal war。 For the author to promote hate crimes， discrimination， genocide and extermination of foreign citizens on a whim， lacks all logic and sense。The author suffers from a chronic illness of repeating over and over again thins already expressed by the story。 The author naively believes that if the explanations are placed by other characters then "everything thought by them and said by them is somewhat new"。 I don't know how many dozens of times he has written and rewritten that Tempest Federation is a nation composed of monsters and ruled by a slime。 If all of these repetitions were taken out， the size of his light novels would shrink about 30%。 This is shameful and too repetitive。With worthless plot arcs and nonsensical， illogical writing the author and producers are defending and justifying evil。 At 40 Rimuru is the biggest fool on that planet。 It's sad to see that writing has no respect for audience。 。。。more

This volume has the main character go beyond the op and deal with the first real threat to face the nation he's building。 Look， this entire series is just reading about an overpowered isekai guy and his fun friends。 It's a little shallow but I really enjoy it as pure escapism。 This volume has the main character go beyond the op and deal with the first real threat to face the nation he's building。 Look， this entire series is just reading about an overpowered isekai guy and his fun friends。 It's a little shallow but I really enjoy it as pure escapism。 。。。more

This may be my favorite stand alone novel outside the opening few （which I adore）。 While the whole series is a definitely a power fantasy of epic proportions， this volume stands out in that it documents the rise of Rimuru as a Demon Lord。 In this world the class system has two tracks， Good and Evil if you will。 The good side peaks with a Hero while the evil side peaks with Demon Lords。 Now you could argue that Rimuru is kind of stuck on the evil track of this class system for the most part becau This may be my favorite stand alone novel outside the opening few （which I adore）。 While the whole series is a definitely a power fantasy of epic proportions， this volume stands out in that it documents the rise of Rimuru as a Demon Lord。 In this world the class system has two tracks， Good and Evil if you will。 The good side peaks with a Hero while the evil side peaks with Demon Lords。 Now you could argue that Rimuru is kind of stuck on the evil track of this class system for the most part because he was reborn a Monster anyway， but the Demon Lord status/class requirements have some pretty strictly evil sounding pre-reqs which go against pretty much everything he stands for。 The journey to this monumental decision makes for some very interesting and compelling story telling， and I can assure you it is all quite satisfying。 So the content is good。。。 but the pacing is not。 And maybe it's not really the pacing as much as it is that the author is not concise in his expansion of the lore。 Prior to reading the light novels I read through the entire web novel translation and they are somehow better paced。 Reading the light novel versions， you can tell the author used the publishing opportunity to pour back over his work and expand it quite a bit。 This has advantages and disadvantages。 If you like the characters and love this world， the light novels really give you so much more to enjoy and sink your teeth into。 I can't tell you how relaxing it is to just sit back and enjoy the antics of the various characters - all of whom I find to be quite likable， while flipping through the excellent printed editions and beautiful art of the light novels。 But the pacing gets murdered by this expansion of lore throughout the series。 For example - Book 4 ends on a MAJOR cliff。 Book 5 doesn't pick up on that cliff until half way through the book。 It's not that I don't enjoy everything that's being written， but the order is disorienting at times。 I'm the sort of person who found myself hating Frodo because he kept interrupting what was going down with Aragorn。 It's not that Frodo's arc wasn't interesting， but Aragorn was where the action was and the cuts to a much slower paced section of story always devalued that slower paced story for me。 （Lord of the Rings reference） In the original Webnovel， the storytelling was always pushing forward and progressing with Rimuru front and center and I think I prefer that。 Still， the added content is all quite entertaining and enjoyable， so I can't be too harsh on the extension。All in all， if you like the characters introduced in Vol 1， I think you'll have a blast here。 。。。more

The writing is kinda odd and disjointed， with very awkward transitions between scenes。 Lots of telling rather than showing。 However， I do love the plot。
