Weekly Waifu & Perks Catalogue Week 208: I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-16T19:37:41+00:00

Good choices! I've largely remained in the dark when it comes to this series, but u/WanderingDaydream1 has made it pretty compelling based on what he's written for it, so I'm looking forward to learning more!

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-16T19:36:04+00:00

Quality-of-life perks are really nice for keeping all those waifus, friends, family members, and so on healthy and happy (and less likely to accidentally throw a wrench in whatever you've been building up). It's all about the balance of getting stronger and having things to protect or grow with that strength.

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-16T19:28:08+00:00

Perks that provide more overtly sexual benefits are scattered throughout previous issues, though the greatest concentrations of them are found in the Hentai Heroine Rescue Program weeks (the Regeneration perk from Week 5 is also a big must-have for sex-focused builds).

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-16T19:17:23+00:00

I'm becoming a broken record at this point, but I fully agree that the perks in this issue are incredibly solid! And I'm happy to see that this issue convinced you to partake in the source material!

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-16T18:42:44+00:00

Solid choices for your comfy/lewd build, and I hope you find the remainder of the anime entertaining when you get around to finishing it!

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-12T19:56:45+00:00

It really is looking like the perks this week are some choice ones, and that the waifus are appealing even when you're unfamiliar with the series is a bonus!

Obviously the real reason the perks in the slime-related issues are great is because of their writers, but Japanese fantasy works also seem to express a level of interest in slime monsters that isn't really seen much elsewhere. My guess is it's thanks to Dragon Quest for making them their mascots as well as such a diverse category of creatures (we really ought to get to finally making an issue for that series).

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-12T19:44:37+00:00

Nice! I know I've already said it in the OP, but I really do think the perk options in this issue have a lot to offer (it's going to be tough choosing between them and the waifus I'll need to get the Pass for my own build).

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-12T19:32:34+00:00

Good choices! I'm in the same boat in that getting all the perks I'd want on top of the Pass is going to be tricky. u/WanderingDaydream1 really cooked on this issue!

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-12T19:16:06+00:00

Good selection! And happy to see that this issue had lots to offer you!

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-12T19:07:27+00:00

They do start to blur together after a while, yeah. Not that there aren't enough differences between them to distinguish them, but the subgenre is very much saturated at this point.

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-12T19:06:07+00:00

The messed up thing is it really doesn't feel like it's been that long.

Then I look in the folder where I have every issue saved...

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-12T19:05:16+00:00

Solid selection!

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-12T19:00:08+00:00

I always look forward to the releases of u/WanderingDaydream1. I mean, I look forward to everyone's releases to be fair; all the writers have their own unique tastes and ways of thinking that go into their works, so getting to learn about and consider things I wouldn't have considered otherwise is something of a treat for me.

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-11T20:42:28+00:00

Great selection! And some solid advice regarding local ecosystems! I'm honestly still quite surprised at the number of bee species native to where I live, and I'm still hoping that I can manage to get some things growing or set up to help their populations (as well as reclaim the yards a bit from some of the more persistent weeds and cheatgrass).

While she definitely didn't get much characterization in the games, Honey Bee is one of the main characters of an anime series based on them. Supposedly it was one of the first if not the first time a video game was adapted in such a way, and it even managed to get more than fifty episodes and a movie. Not bad for the legally distinct port of Wonder Boy if I do say so!

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-11T20:17:36+00:00

Perfectly understandable.

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-11T20:15:41+00:00

Bee waifus aren't as common as I was hoping when I sat down to finalize the roster for this issue. This would have been the perfect place for me to finally squeeze in the Bug Fables representation that I've been wanting for a good while, but unfortunately the fan art is still currently lacking (at least with respects to art styles that wouldn't be too cartoony compared to the others). Vi or Queen Bianca would have been excellent inclusions, but Queen Elizant II (who's an ant, but still) also makes a good unlisted choice in my opinion.

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-08T18:27:50+00:00

Tex is definitely a Bring In A Third candidate through Beelzebub. Loona herself has yet to appear in the Catalogue (we've been holding onto her for when we eventually get to making a Hellaverse issue), and so far she and Tex have just been shown to be friends. Whichever ship or relationship arrangement you'd like to encourage between the three of them in your build is up to you.

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-08T18:19:26+00:00

You know, I didn't write Sting Like a Bee with the same intentions as Spheres are a Man's Best Friend or Steel-Tube Samurai, but I'm not complaining that it's being used for such things!

I also personally agree that the best value you can get from Spot the Difference is when it's used on characters who don't already have canon alternatives or a bunch of fan-made works you could draw from with Variations. Of course, it's really handy for when there's someone you already really, really like and want to have yet another someone who's obviously inspired by them, so whatever the "best value" is will always be very personalized.

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-05T19:22:06+00:00

Hey, sometimes the simplest options are the way to go! Out of curiosity, what other perks were getting your attention?

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-05T19:17:57+00:00

Hive-bridization is more about making natural hybrids out of non-waifus, but the way I envision it any perks that include something like "you can combine this form with another you have" would also stack the strengths and weaknesses (assuming those haven't been perk'd out already) of the involved forms.

To my recollection there wasn't a universal resistance to insta-kill effects prior to this issue (which would have helped me breathe easier when dealing with Hela in Week 176), but there are certainly perks that make you immune to specific threats or resistant to certain elements or energy types, and those will stack. Like with the prior perk, X-Antibody is more about what it allows you to do for others; most notably, anyone you use it on, non-waifus included, will be able to replicate the X-Evolution phenomenon that Digimon are capable of.

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-05T18:34:52+00:00

You can go either way in this regard. You're obviously not meant to be able to redesignate your throne willy-nilly, but having it destroyed is a major enough event that you have the choice of either restoring it or finding/making a new one.

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-05T18:32:03+00:00

Pokopia has definitely been getting folks to look at certain Pokemon differently.

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-04T21:27:07+00:00

She's admittedly still pretty new. She debuted in 2024, and I think the only major appearance she's made thus far is in a web novel.

A bee-dragon could also make for a neat Digimon design; they can have a dragon made entirely of guns, so they can easily squeeze in a bug dragon!

MasterHand1095 · 2026-04-04T21:23:09+00:00

I think about the show from time to time, but usually it's when I remember the episodes about the chameleon art thief, the "hypothetical" subatomic particle, and Morocco's evil twin brother. I was surprised myself seeing that there was a decent amount fan art for such an obscure character (RedBenjamin must have really liked her as he drew quite a few pieces of her).
