An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Micro Slime - Resh! This story follows a Micro Slime that has some level of consciousness and there is more to it than meets the eye. Micro Slime is just the beginning of course as it struggles to improve itself and works hard to grow and become stronger just to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going and only time will tell if this Micro Slime can become strong enough to make it through to the other side.
This is a story with a Monster Protagonist, I am not going to be using any profanity nor include any sexual content, there will be violence and fighting description, hence Traumatising Content. I am a native English speaker and so the English here should be to a good standard, that being said even though edited there may be some corrections and typos so if you see some let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos but of course, some might slip through, will endeavour to correct any that are picked up though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews! If you like or don't like the story let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me know what good and what needs to be worked on.
Working on releasing chapters twice a week, will try to increase that as time goes but at the moment that is what I am able to release, Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular then I will increase the releases. Aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words with Interludes every 5 chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy!
Note: The language and writing are a little basic, to begin with, this is on purpose to reflect the simplicity of the MC also because I just started writing. Hopefully, you enjoy it anyway and the interludes should help break this up to start! Anyway, thanks so much for reading!

I find it weird that there's a story sitting here with nearly 200 chapters and zero reviews. I'll give it a shot.
TL;DR - I think if the author just tightened up the story so it moves faster they have something pretty good going on here. Grammar's great, world building is coming together, and characters have personality and charm.
The most extraordinary thing about this story is its pacing. I believe this might be the slowest paced story I've ever read. Often I find myself skimming through the chapters because of just how little the plot seems to move forward. The author seems to love to capture every hour of every day and every thought in great detail, sometimes even from multiple perspectives. So if you're looking for a fast-paced thriller I can definitely say this is not it. But if you're into very introspective characters who explain everything, then this might be your jam.
Alongside this general pacing issue, I question the choice of where the author starts the story. It seems to start way too early. To explain this I have to go into spoilers.
Main character dies an ego death in chapter 51 when they awaken their past life memories and the story earns its Isekai tag. This event rewrites the personality and goals of the MC. It goes from "getting stronger and flying" to "where are humans and I want to be human again." Which basically makes the first 50 chapters the longest prologue ever. It may be possible to read the story starting at 51 with only knowing he can take traits of what he eats.
My most negative criticism of the story is how it feels like character intelligence can vary wildly in order to suit the plot. There's a pretty major point in the story where it feels like MC goes from careful and plotting to full pants-on-head derp mode.
I can buy that MC is enamored at seeing a mythical beast like a gryphon and wants to see it up close. Sure. Fine, he can fall asleep on it. Whatever. But when he gets caught for screaming in fear from his brand new fear of heights when he's previously been on top of trees and rooftops that feels like a stretch. Then it's only made worse when a few chapters later his phobia is gone as he gazes down at the capital with zero fear and just wonder. It just came off as really shoehorned in.
