I agree that the series lacks stakes. From the beginning I felt any weight from the antagonists of the world were undercut by Rimuru always having a built in way out. Essentially the only draw for me to this series is out of respect for a friend that's hyper infatuated with this show. Otherwise I probably wouldn't keep up. I do enjoy many of the characters for their interactions between one another. I just can't get invested much when "conflict" occurs especially if the main protagonist steps in to magically resolve the battle unceremoniously.
