So, I had this idea for a book…

The title of this magnum opus is: The Greatest Sage, Who is Also a Genius Alchemist and Master Assassin, is Reincarnated as a Slime Who is Also the 19th Son of the Demon King.

Then the back cover blurb reads: The contents of this novel have no passing resemblance to the title.

There’s only one problem: I have no idea what the contents should be!

Actually, I have had a few ideas, but nothing’s really worked so far. Maybe one day…

    Hi Naill just read freedom and loyalty by D L Harrison . It reminded strongly of Death’s Hand maiden including his blurp. Penname ?

    • Nope. I’ll go look though. I’m always looking for something to read.

    • D.L. Harrison also writes under the name D.R. Rosier. Similar books but more adult content.

    • I’m about 70% through and damn it’s very very similar to Death’s Handmaiden. Honestly makes me a little angry how similar it is. Unless there is some source material that inspired DH I’d say it’s basically an inferior copy. I’ll need to reread DH afterwards to cleanse my mental pallet.

      • DH was inspired by ‘The Irregular at Magic High School.’ Well, that and a few other things like ‘A Certain Scientific Railgun.’ So, it could be that we both saw the same shows and came up with similar ideas from the same inspiration. It’s possible. I’m going to read one (when I start reading books again) and see what I think.

        Whatever, I’m glad you think it’s an inferior copy rather than a better one. 🙂

  3. I would read that no matter WHAT is in it, lol!

  4. This is obviously the title of a Light-novel about an average guy who is visited by the characters from his favorite games. Games where he was the hero and all of those statement are true. Now all of his visitors are besieging him with request to help them with their personal quest.

    But once they show up, they all realize he’s just an average guy, can’t really help any of them and are now stuck in the real world with no way back. Without a place to stay all of them have to ‘harem-style’ move in with him into his apartment.

    Light romantic Hyjinx ensue

    While our MC is indeed just some average guy, his father actually is ‘The Demon King’ from one of his games who later one came to our world. Does our MC have special powers after all…. Who knows!

    Wow, I wasn’t aware that a book like that already existed. Let alone had been made into an anime. Here I thought I just made-up some overly inplausable story. Guess there really are way to many Light-novels to keep track of.

    Set it in Washington D.C. and the MC could be a congressman trying to get reelected

    The other 18 sons could also be reincarnated also. Make them all from the same class that got summoned to be heroes and died. Then pitch them against another freshly summoned class. The gods and readers need entertainment.

  8. The book could be about an average person who is mistaken for all those things. Maybe he has companions who actually do the work and he just gets credit for it.

    Could be an amusing story with a lot of misunderstandings.
