''I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level'' is a Japanese LightNovel by Kisetsu Morita (森田季節), with illustrations by Yuusuke Shiba (シバユウスケ). It tells the story of Azusa Aizawa, a regular Japanese salarywoman who finds herself dying from overwork at age 27. A merciful goddess takes pity on her, and offers her a new life in another world, where she's free to live the simple, carefree, and easy life Azusa has always wanted. She takes the offer, and finds herself an immortal witch in a medieval fantasy world.
Azusa proceeds to enjoy her new life for the next 300 years, laying around and relaxing, becoming an herbalist and medicine woman for the nearby village of Flatta, and making some money on the side by killing the slimes and selling their cores at the guild. Trouble starts when she takes a power assessment on a whim, and she and the receptionist Natalie discover that Azusa has become max level, with the highest stats possible, and access to a number of incredibly powerful spells and abilities beside. In spite of Azusa's efforts to keep it secret, word spreads of the all-powerful "Witch of the Plateu" and all manner of adventurers, dragons, and vengeful spirits come knocking on her door...

* GenerationXerox: Natalie, the receptionist for the adventurer's guild in Flatta, looks exactly the same as her 300-or-so-years-old ancestor of the same name and appearance.
* LevelGrinding: Taken UpToEleven. Azusa spent ''300 years'' accidentally grinding slimes, every single day, getting to max level thanks to an experience compounding phenomenon when enough of a certain type of monster is killed.
* {{Mana}}: A key element of the story, and how much you can store and use at any given time is a measure of your power as a witch, a demon, or a dragon. Azusa actually tries to pass herself off as much, ''much'' weaker than she really is, but a trained mage can easily see the overwhelming aura of power she radiates at all times.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Azusa, who is at least 300 years old but still looks 17, along with most every other non-human character such as the dragons, the demons, and the slime spirits, who all look like young adults or little children for several hundred years.
* RPGMechanicsVerse: While not being based on a videogame, so far as has been revealed, the powers of an individual are determined by numerical figures like "levels" and "stats." Human adventurers use special magical tools found at any adventurer's guild branch.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: As most threats to Azusa can't actually ''harm'' her, overpowered as she is, most of her worrying is about not delivering ''too'' dramatic of a CurbStompBattle, and having yet ''more'' powerful threats literally knocking on her front door.

* OneShotCharacter: The angel that gives Azusa her new life in the new world only appears in the first chapter, and is never heard of nor brought up ever again.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Save for territorial disputes, they are not that different from humans, having an established government with taxes, infrastructure and government services with offices and secretaries to run them, and nutritional needs similar to other creatures--no feasting on souls here. They all tend to just have magic, be particularly long-lived and youthful, and have animal like features like goat horns.
* PolarOppositeTwins: The slime spirit twins have diametrically opposed personalities, Falfa being hyper and warm, Shalsha being reserved and cold.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Azusa, who is at least 300 years old but still looks 17, along with most every other non-human character such as the dragons, the demons, and the slime spirits, who all look like young adults or little children for several hundred years.
* RPGMechanicsVerse: While not being based on a videogame, so far as has been revealed, the powers of an individual are determined by numerical figures like "levels" and "stats." Human adventurers use special magical tools found at any adventurer's guild branch.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: As most threats to Azusa can't actually ''harm'' her, overpowered as she is, most of her worrying is about not delivering ''too'' dramatic of a CurbStompBattle, and having yet ''more'' powerful threats literally knocking on her front door.
