With his minecraft powers, can't he literally just punch his way through the stone and metal? He could probably even munch his ball and chain off.
With purely minecraft powers, it's still a pain in the ass. As long as he doesn't have access to wood, there is a significant limitation in what he can do.

But he doesn't need a lot of wood. 2-3 sticks and he can set up a small underground fort even if he doesn't figure out a way to replenish wood.

Why agree to help a suprematist regime?
You know that when they are done fighting the elves, they would turn and kill you too.
Seeing how he talked about his actual employer, he's an agent of some sort. So, this was nothing but one long infiltration mission for him. He pulled this off, so presumably he can take care of himself. I'd assume he's the kind of guy who only thinks of his own benefit. Chances are he either had betrayed Sylphy's kingdom a long time ago or he never was a part of it in the first place. In other words, he has no need to fear for his life, considering those humans.

The execution of this kidnapping arc is mindboggling stupid, even for this series. My opinion is probably colored because I read the arc in the WN, so I should probably reserve judgement for how the manga does it but seeing how mentally deficient everyone had to be for this arc to even happen for a second time(in manga form this time!) just reignited my ire, lol.

This whole arc is basically one plot contrivance after another meant to connect Kousuke with the Saintess who ultimately has to decide if she wants to side with him and reform the currently Human Supremacy version of the Church or become his enemy and keep the status quo. Even Qubi's role in this was essentially preordained by God so he isn't so much a traitor but a tool who served his purpose and disappeared into the sunset when his role in this farce was done. The only good part of this arc is the slime girls, honestly.

This is going to be interesting, notice MC was never scared, he was angry, confused but never afraid, I think he's going to show everyone some pro survival game skills now, never forget in these games you mostly start clean everytime, MC is just restarting.
Think about Minecraft prisons, like how complicated they have to be, just to stop the prisoner to "break a few blocks"

Perhaps, but isn't real life full of mind-bogglingly stupid sounding spy and wartime stories? I reckon your opinion is indeed coloured by knowing the source, assuming stupid things happen in the future, during this arc. But right now it hasn't been so bad in my eyes, knowing nothing of the novel source.
  • I, too, found it a stretch Kousuke emptied his whole inventory, but he did trust Qubi thoroughly, so I could see it barely happening. Cleaning the inventory is something players do in games. The only weird thing was that Kousuke wasn't back "home", but basically in the middle of nowhere, near the enemy.
  • If Qubi is a pro agent, it wouldn't be difficult for him to secure a falsified document. Sylphy's whole repossession army is extremely tightly knit around key individuals, who trust each other. That's both a strength and weakness. It means nobody had any reason to suspect their comrades, so Qubi could leave the town rather easily by having a convincing document.
  • Kousuke's power is so weird that not even Qubi possibly can quite understand its possibilities, so he would think just emptying Kousuke's inventory is enough. On the other hand, he might not even care! As long as he delivered Kousuke successfully, it's not his problem anymore. And he's right.

See but the kicker is Kousuke has NEVER emptied his inventory or even mentioned a limit to it up to this point, not once. Nor had he ever emptied it out completely(including the stuff he NEVER wanted to have see the light of day, the weapons in particular) and he does it with Qubi? Not even with Melty present who is in charge of inventory management and logistics, but Qubi a guy with a nebulous role in the rebellion to boot. I have no real issues with him being able to forge documents, he's had three years to ingratiate himself into the rebellion and the confidence of the inner circle, being able to forge documents and fool gate guards is what I'd expect him to be able to do at a minimum.

But the biggest issue I have is leaving Kousuke, the most important person in your organization BY FAR alone with anyone who isn't Sylphy or Aira without someone on overwatch when they had been doing so at every single stop up to that point so far with the Harpies and scouts.

He has a bucket, iron bands, a torch, at least three manacles, a chain, a metal ball, bars, stone blocks, a slave collar, and cloth clothing. He might have more at his disposal. Even just the stuff at hand is enough for him to get started. This shouldn't take long.

Well, he was guarded by Qubi, wasn't he? They trusted Qubi the same as they trust other core members of their army. Sylphy herself noted in this chapter that after three years of working with him, she never had any reason to suspect him.

Can't wait for some bullshit reason for him to lose his powers and not be able to escape
This happens all the time in real life. Like women fought against suffrage etc. They seem to think they will maintain a position between the controlling group and the discriminated group and just lean into that.
Did you just compare women suffrage with genocide and slavery?
