As for Ryouma himself, there wasn’t much hope for his personality. Being your average isekai protagonist means he can’t manage anything beyond generically “nice” or passive, lest the audience loses the ability to self-insert themselves into him for even a second. There’s some stuff about how he’s dealing with the traumatic experience of his previous life, but it’s only ever briefly mentioned and never gets explored as much as I wanted. Every so often it’d cut back to scenes of Ryouma’s previous life to show how it sucked compared his new one, and I’d actually get a bit more invested. I’d have liked if the show jumped back and forth between his two lives more often, but instead we had to watch him scrub a sewer or walk around some mines or something. It reminded me of Youjo Senki – where I was all on board for the theological pissing match between a cynical salaryman and “God”, but the show kept interrupting that with the forgettable magic WW1. 5 stuff.
I feel like my biggest frustration with the plot was how procedural everything felt. There’s like three episodes spent on Ryouma setting up a laundry business with his slimes, and it all just happens without any narrative twist or anything.

<ahem> “So, where are the goblins?” — Goblin Slayer
The genius of Goblin Slayer comes from its uninhibited objective to underscore the savagery of the goblins; thereby, forcing the audience to immediately empathize with the lowly adventurers who’s virginities will be forever lost to those disgusting green chodes. The first episode may have been a bit overwhelming, but it was necessary to highlight the evil nature of the goblins. And boy, were they ever evil. But when all hope seemed lost, the vigilante known as Goblin . Slayer entered the proverbial arena, to lay-the-smack-down on all their candy asses. And layeth-the-smack-down he did. Essentially, if you think about, he’s the Japanese equivalent of Batman — mother f—king BATMAN, people — set in a medieval world.
