Summarized, a human gets reincarnated as a slime in a new fantasy-like universe => the slime has almost godlike-powers and uses that power to create a stable society of different types of monsters.

We see how Rimuru impacts the world and interacts with others. While Rimuru is an overpowered protagonist, it isn't the most powerful in the …
