When I saw the trailer, I got hooked with the slime and how enticing the colors were in the animation, I mean, it was appealing. I had hoped that this would be another great anime series I can add to my list of favorites, but no. Not to that extent.
The narrative centers on Femicia who was pushed out of her community because she had zero stars for her skills. Zero stars meant she would bring misfortune to everyone. Although she had the 'tamer skill', it was deemed useless as she had zero stars for it. Then in her escape, she set out on a journey. From what I thought of as a slice of life protagonist story, it was an Isekai - fantasy and adventure.

Genre:
Adventure - she changed her name to Ivy and disguised herself as a boy. She found a broken slime which was rare and set on a journey with it. As mentioned, the broken slime, which she named Sora, has limited information and that is because they are fragile. Hence, no one has seen one evolve and grow. Following a map in hand, they ventured into different cities and even befriended an Adandala along with other characters in the story.
Fantasy - it really focused on this instead of action (taming monsters)
----------
The main character is lovable where you'll be supporting the protagonist all the way - you would want her to win in life. But that's because of how heavy her story was set. Though there were a lot of scenes which seemed like long periods of chit-chatting, there was a strong character development. I initially thought it would be a boring storyline as I found some scenes and instances lacking logical support. It was not flawless but it was inspiring.
One thing I don't understand well was that she seemed to be a reincarnation but this was not well explained while she was still Femicia. What I found disturbing was that I thought those weren't memories but rather a different personality since there were dialogues between her and her thoughts. The star system also didn't hold that much bearing as only a few characters got highlighted in the story. Because of how perfect things became, it was as if everyone protected her and it became flawless. I'm not saying it was bad but it was too much. She orchestrated a way to rid of the organization because of memories, but what was her previous identity. What made an 8-year-old so strategic beating the smarts of older and wiser men. Okay, they banked on the reincarnation but what was she then. It's a blur. By the end of the series, it seemed that they quickened the pace.
Don't watch it if you want things to always make sense. If you're a logical person, this will hurt your mind and question what you're watching. However, if the focus is how this 8-year-old kid survived and just wants a feel good series, this is it. There was no focus in action, no focus on the other characters, it was just Ivy and her adventure.
