I have to be the one to come defend Rimuru as somebody who's catching up to the novels (I'm like 3-4 books behind the official translations). Oh yeah, several "Meeting Episode" in a row will disappoint people, but just hang on, now we're in the Rozzos story arc which while by itself is not the most exciting (they're financial enemies, by nature the fights are not gonna be too flashy), it does bring fun stuff thanks to the festival, both interesting new characters and fun events, and i do believe it's at this point that we get some fun demon action. Then there's one interesting story arc i cannot even name as it's in itself a spoiler, AND THEN it's multiple novel volumes of just war and more war, which should completely satiate all the battle nuts. Not sure how far we will go this season but i anticipate the rest of it should be more fun than just people sitting in meetings (which i nevertheless defend because those explain all the stuff that's happening).
I have no doubt that the slower parts of Slime builds to something great. It is a well written story and I have enough confidence in the author to pay off the slow portions. I simply moved on at that point (I think I caught up with the current chapter at the time, and I didn't want to wait for each chapter). I plan on coming back to it at some point once it is finished. I am in the same boat with Danmachi, waiting for it to wrap up before consuming the whole thing.
