If we're talking D&D Charisma here, if he gets charisma to godly levels he can just talk anyone into doing literally anything he wants including killing themselves or just immediately surrendering/fighting on his side. I'd imagine most people in that world wouldn't really have much protection against god-like charisma either other than plugging their ears and covering their eyes, since it's not /technically/ an attack.

If you get high charisma, you get those shoujo manga backgrounds (you know, the one with the sparkling roses and poo poo?) whenever you look at a person.

I don't really think of charisma as beauty. It is a component, but charisma to me is raw force of personality. Technically he could get prettier, but maybe a small bump in charisma would make people more interested in him and take him more seriously.

You see, its not rape because I injected them with powerful aphrodisiacs and after a few days they broke down and wanted to have sex with me.
Later I set up separate rooms for them and prettier male elfs where all goblins could visit them as a reward.

Also I get to lead my increasingly badass crew against everyone and commit horrible atrocities and enslave multiple races, but it's okay because I keep that poo poo under wraps and the leaders of the people I enslave still love me.

I must admit I keep following it though because I want to see just how low it can sink.

If you want a somewhat better take on the concept Slime Tensei is a thing. The LN is also being translated by someone, but I haven't checked it to see where things head from here but so far the protagonist is decent, and it feels like other characters will get to have developed personalities

I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but for some reason the whole concept of game stuff intruding into real life just grabs me.

I'm following 5 or 6 Mangas that do this. The bad thing is they mostly tend to get gross pretty quickly.

They tend to be wish fulfillment stories, written by unpopular dorks. And as it turns out, dorks have some pretty lovely wishes they want fulfilled.

So him saving a town from raiding soldiers and sharing healing medicine was evil? Like the only sort of overtly evil thing I've seen from that so far was his summon creature having a bit too much fun killing that one guy trying to bribe it.


This was pretty funny. Is it a monthly series?

Slime Tensei doesn't get creepy afaik. I mean there's the usual "everyone's in love with the main protagonist" wish fulfillment going on. But the main character is, and remains, genderless.

By that I mean he doesn't do things out of the goodness of his heart, more like repaying debts and what he can gain from it.

I'd also recommend Slime Tensei, so far it's jovial fun without an author's self insert sexual fantasies.

Having read the LN, the story generally stays upbeat and positive, with less of a focus on personal strength and more a focus on building collective strength, which also means that companions and such tend to have more characterization than "The guy almost as good as me with a sword, that other guy almost as good as me at magic, a group of girls who really wants to bone me for *reasons* and maybe some older character(s) and/or family that died so I'd have some motivation".

I just find the slime to be super cute for some reason. Like a plush toy or such. I also really like the idea of a little slime accidentally becoming a leader and just managing people around.

Somebody told me he turns into a girl later on or something, though? Not sure.

Yeah I'm digging the slime adventures as well. The naming power ups make sense even if they don't explain it further, though I expect we'll find out more soon. He was helpless at the beginning, the Dragon teaches him some basics and helps him out, and then once he's named he suddenly is devouring dragons and shooting water blasts and such.

I hope that his Dragon pal gets spit out eventually, it'd be a bummer if he's just slowly being eaten. I expected him to be spat out as soon as Slimey got out of the cave.

Thanks for the Slime Tensei tip-off, it's like a good version of Re:Monster, I'm also enjoying it. Dungeon Meshi also scratches a similar itch as the other manga you guys were mentioning, though it doesn't have the Video Game gimmick and there's only one chapter translated. :smith: But it's still a good RPG-style fantasy manga with with a weird gimmick (cooking manga, but about monsters. related note, they go into a several page tangent on the DIY tools the dwarf made in order to properly prepare slimes for consumption, turns out they're actually delicious!)
