awfully, he's a megalomaniac supervillain who can never face repercussions for his bullshit and he gets off of other people suffering just because he wants revenge. He's OPM or Mob without the character arc around his weakness

He never grows either

Too much of a retard, I know it's for comedic purposes but if he just listens to Raphael for once he wouldn't be in half the shit he finds himself in. Also he's too much of a beta when dealing with women, he's their literal God and he acts like he's below them it's annoying.

Too beta, but I guess that's an improvement over there average retarded isekai MC

My first time watching this series was while I was working on the Brazilian dub of this show, and I thought he was a girl at first because they cast a female VA.

There's five different versions of Rimuru, every adaptation ended up having a distinct personality:

Anime: Loli slime Jesus, a cutesy inspirational figure.

Manga: A way more badass version of anime Rimuru (still cutesy though).

LN: Acts solely to strengthen his position, and has few moral qualms about what he does; much like Ainz Ooal Gown, but slightly more human.

Diaries (anime): A childish figure who really enjoys all the new opportunities and friends they have. (pic related)

Diaries (manga): Easily the most complex version of Rimuru, showing all of his contradictory aspects; he's old and a child, he's part Satoru and part Shizu, he's the ruler of a country with many friends and a lonely office worker.

My favourite is obvious in how I've written this: The Slime Diaries Manga.
As for the reason there's five distinct versions of the character, it's because Fuse is terrible at writing emotions and personalities, meaning that anyone making a visual adaptation has to figure out how to flesh out Rimuru's character so he's no longer a blank slate.
Unfortunately, a lot of people act like LN Rimuru (the worst, most shallow one) is the true Rimuru, because people are used to the idea that when a novel is adapted the novel is always a more complete story than the adaptation. That's not true for Slime, due to Fuse's failings as a writer; I'd say that the manga feels like a more complete story, as the story has been touched upon by writers who can fill in the gaps left by Fuse.

he is just the average isekai MC
OP as fuck, never in real danger, suffers no hardships, no personality, no growth, gets everything thrown in his lap, EVERYONE wants to fuck him

What about webnovel?

Well damn. I only read the novel and watched the anime I didn’t know he was written differently several times. That explains why he seems so different in the anime compared to the novels. I will have to check out slime diaries and the manga if that’s the case:
