Can you share where you read the novel?
wait so the slime won't come back??
Booktoki, I made a text mtl file of it. I do this quite a bit, since chrome translated it line by line and you can copy paste the translated material into notepad. Ends up a couple megabytes. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
The slime ends up being the ML who devolves into that shape and basic intelligence while fighting something done to his real body. It wakes up, with full slime memories of their time together, just whole as the OG ML too. He changes back to slime in the tower he built FL, so hides there when it forces him to become slime again. The effect goes away once he stabilizes, with FL later in their marriage.
so basically actually FL and the slime become end game right?
Yep, HEA ending though last two chapters were convoluted with how they closed it out. Lol. He only ever looked at her.
Read the entire novel, love the FL and ML both. It was consistent for Character Growth, had few time skips unexpectedly and was ridiculously satisfying to read until the end.
They start out as kids, her brother and her as basically experiments of their insane father. Her brother, as a battle weapon was trained to be a Machine on the battlefield. Nothing else, as they both were undergoing magical brainwashing. She had gone through transmigration and was dealing with it in place of the doomed extra. Her brother in OG story eventually tried killing her, but she was already terminally ill from the experiments she was being used for in OG storyline. She attempted to change this, seeing as her brother is just rough around edges atm. So, when he gives her slime as a prezzie, she grows attached to both of them through various events.
Unfortunately her father finds out about it, after a few mishaps and hunts the slime down after she attempts to save it by getting it out just in time. It takes months of worry, but they torture the slime once found and her brother finds out the end of it. She builds a tiny tomb, empty gravesite though she goes to pray there as years pass. Meanwhile, a guy who is supposed to be part monster and an Insane ML wakes up randomly remembering the slime's life. Also, that the FL told him all about the OG story and being from another world Destined to marry the ML then die. When confession of her dark tastes came out while teasing her slime. Lol.
He was in a coma, from some Betrayal and spent months in a stasis state of unconsciousness. He starts making serious changes, remembering everything our FL told him about her tastes. The carries monster blood, a water demon in his lineage. So, it explains him randomly changing to slime after this incident happened and he woke up. That eventually stops when he's together with FL trying to be Husband and wife. He married her all those years later like she claimed her character would be forced too in the story, built a tower to confine her to her dark confinement ending taste she confessed to and starts obsessing terribly until she finds out he used to be her slime near End of story.
They live happy ever after, though end was lame for rewinding time to make her soul split to finish off her scary dad and his minions. Her ML on speed run status redid whole story with a fake half her for like two chapters before unlocking her soul from a crack in time for no reason. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
