Discussion Is this the correct Tensei slime novel to read?

Just wondering the differences between the slime novels as they all seem to be translated to a degree and what the differences in reading them are. If possible could this be a spoiler free discussion with the intent to reccomend which of the novels is the best choice. Also are there other novels by different authors that are similar to this one, which is my main choice?
WN
http://www.novelupdates.com/series/tensei-shitara-slime-datta-ken/

 

The LN is the published version. So it's, like, edited or some such. There are probably some minor differences, but it should overall be the same. Since the WN is further along, I recommend reading that - ah, but the translation for some of the chapters in the 100s, I don't recall which, but they were pretty shitty in terms of accuracy (at least according to a certain well-known translator-san) and a bit hard to understand. Maa, it's not like it's impossible to read, so it should be fine.

 

Both appear as the WN for me, don;t think there is a difference. But you should read this one, its really good.

 

The two you've shown are the exact same. Perhaps you meant to link to the WN and LN version, but I don't know what changes where made for the adaptation.

The only other Tensei slime seies I know is Slime Tensei Monogatari, but translation is on hiatus since chapter 3.

 

The light novel only has part of the first volume translated as far as I know.

 

The WN is the right choice if you prefer a long translated chapter. There might be a little difference with the LN (I don't know cuz I didn't read the LN)

 

I remember there's a novel about slime translated by re:translation or japtem I forgot

 

Looking at the LN, there's less than a volume translated so I'd definitely go for the WN if I were you

 

Thanks so it looks like the wn in the best choice as of now.

manga translation is in progress
very slow progress

 

The light novel certainly has some expanded scenes, as one could see in the light novel illustrations. On the other hand the light novel translation has been stopped. The Web Novel translation has the approval of the author themselves so it would be a good idea to read that especially since its half way done. Of course I started from the manga, but that updates like monthly. So you'd be in the equivalent of volume 2.
