Description: [edit] [history]

Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress on (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way:

An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and resulted in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going on, and only time will tell if this Slime (in all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all.

It Started with Slime is a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity or sexual content, but there will be some violence and fighting descriptions.

I am a native English speaker, so the English here should be good. That said, even though editted, 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 ensure all chapters have no typos, but some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! I started this a year ago, so any feedback is always appreciated, as well as reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving.

Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes on, but at the moment, that is what I can manage. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy!

Edit: Book 1 is finished, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different, with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be two chapters a week.
