I hate snipers.

Waffle? Next you're going to tell me the rest of his party is Goody, DoLo, Hitch, JJ Frankie JJ, and Fish and his family are Free, Big Mo, and Carrie.

You right at one of them

The main character isn't a self insert caricature, he's still human which ironically makes him far easier to relate than the usual isekai MCs: stoic or idiotic emotionally stunted losers who happen to stumble upon incredible powers.

The side characters aren't there to be one note glazers of the MC, they actually seem like they have their own goals and motivations.

The plot is different from the usual "I was a worthless dude who became god and had sex with all these baddies who are weirdly attracted to me though I have the personality of a cardboard box."

The dialogue actually serves a purpose in building the world and fleshing out the characters.

The world building is also different, 100 worlds that all seem to have different races and customs that actually serve to influence the plot.
Bonus points: No slavery. I fucking hate when the MC has all these god tier powers, sees slaves, and just hand waves it away like nothing despite being on the GOOD side.

No single hero can't fix the superiority complex of a race. The most efficient hero can do to eliminate slavery without rely on the people perception is do what Eren did in Attack on Titan.

Considering most mangas with slavery as a recognized institution have absolutely terrible world building as well as a main character with the power to essentially nuke a city I don't see why this would be an issue for them.

A bigger problem I have is that instead of viewing slavery as inherently wrong, they tend to buy slaves themselves. It just speaks to the lack of education that the author has. They tend to handwave it away by saying "Hey look there's a slave market" and then the main character buys the hottest one.

I’m not sure what kind of education you consider ideal for your opinion. In reality, even in our world today, atrocities like genocide occur, and powerful nations often fail to intervene effectively. If entire countries with military power can’t stop such injustices, what can one hero realistically do?

As for the issue of buying slaves, people often act in their own self-interest. When given a choice, most individuals would opt for the ‘best’ option, even in morally complex situations. I mean, let's be realistic here, if you buy a product, do you choose something that not satisfy your taste? This doesn’t necessarily justify the actions, but it reflects a pragmatic, if flawed, human tendency.

So yeah, I think the author show the takes to be realistic in their writing.

The kind of education that illustrates that the act of owning another person is wrong is what I mean and the author tends to just ignore that in favor of some sloppy world building. Entire countries with military power HAVE tended to stop it when they have been able to which is why modern day slave trading isn't as out in the open as it used to be, it tends to be in the forms of passports being confiscated and being forced to work or in third world countries with scant regards for human rights.

That's another issue, the main character is generally intended to be the moral standard and the "good guy". The main character is also as I mentioned earlier extremely powerful. They have EVERY ability to eradicate it as an institution but they just don't. And somehow, the author wants us to sympathize with them and the kingdom they're with instead of the monstrous demon king when in reality both sides are absolutely horrendous from a moral standpoint. It also isn't generally INTENDED to be good writing. If the author depicted the main character struggling to join hands with a lesser evil to triumph over a greater evil then I would understand the necessity of it from a character and world building stand point.

There is no "moral" dilemma here they just buy the hottest slave and have them fall in love with them. That's just LAZY writing because it allows the usually bland, boring, featureless main character feasible access to get an extremely hot woman that somehow falls in love with him because the author can't think of any other way to do it.

I don't think that's "realistic" writing, as a 21st century person in a first world country the idea of slavery alone should abhor someone. I would understand not being able to do anything if isekais had the main character reincarnated as an ordinary joe who tends to his farmland and works the field. But that's not the case, they're given "cheat" like powers from god and they just DON'T do anything about it.

Most of those stories aren’t set in the 21st century, are they? The settings usually take place in a medieval or pre-modern era, where slavery was a common and accepted part of society. If you study history, you’ll see that slavery existed in many cultures during that time. While it’s true that, as a 21st-century reader, the idea of slavery is abhorrent, it’s important to know that the moral standards of the past were very different from ours today.

I understand your frustration with the protagonist’s lack of action, especially when they’re given extraordinary powers. It does feel like a missed opportunity for deeper storytelling or moral exploration. However, not all stories aim to tackle complex ethical dilemmas. Some are simply meant to entertain, even if the writing comes across as lazy or unrealistic and that just not for you to digest.
