"By the Grace of the Gods" fits squarely within the isekai subgenre of Sci-Fi & Fantasy, featuring classic elements such as reincarnation into a magical world, divine intervention, and the protagonist's journey of self-discovery and adventure. Typical tropes include the fresh start in a new realm, mastery of unique magic abilities, and companionship formed with mystical creatures—in this case, slimes, which are often considered low-level monsters but here are given special attention. What makes the series stand out is its gentle, heartwarming tone focusing on kindness, healing, and everyday joys rather than intense battles or political intrigue. The protagonist's use of slime taming as a central theme adds a charming and unconventional twist that distinguishes it from other titles in its genre.
Ran for 3 seasons.
