@Rin2k @burdrann I get that it makes sense thematically, most of the time, but we're talking about a world with magic and demons, why do they choose slavery to be the "realistic" part. I mean in 90% of the isekai they end up at hot springs and eating curry, no matter where it's supposedly located or era it's supposed to be in. So choosing to use slavery in your writing, without good reason, is troubling. Especially when they are glorifying it like in "How Not to Summon a Demon Lord" or using the argument, "But, I am a good slave owner" like in this or in "The Rising of the Shield Hero". Unless the rest of this story involves overturning the slavery system somehow I will continue to be troubled by this one.
Without compelling reasons, using slavery is just lazy writing. Especially since, in a lot of cases, the "slavery" aspect becomes COMPLETELY irrelevant as the story moves forward (again I don't know how this particular story plays out so I guess I can't comment on that).
this went on longer than expected for something almost no one will read 🙄, so I will stop here.
