"Tensei Slime is just Overlord on a Lawful Good playthrough." In both series, the main character is purposely made to be extremely overpowered, to the point of having little to nothing that poses an actual threat to them. As a result, the conflicts in both series have to come largely from something other than fight scenes, since we all know who will win the vast majority of the time; instead, both series focus on what one would do if they had that kind of power. Inevitably, that kind of combat power grants you political power, and both MC's become leaders of a group that follows them religiously (albeit in very different ways). While in Overlord, Ainz chooses to use this power to take over the world, Rimuru Tempest is an optimistic, compassionate guy who can't say no when he's asked for help. Tensei Slime has all of the politics, comedy and badass moments of Overlord, with none of the torture, sadism or purposely unlikable characters. It's an easy series to sit back and relax to, and enjoy an adorable little slime kick ass and lead a village to greatness.
