One of the better representations of a "slave market", not like I have experience, but at least the author didn't try to paint it lighter than it should.
Maria seems like an interesting character.

Yeah. Nor was it some grand scheme to save someone or make a moral standpoint. Just a sense of wrongness if he didn't do something, that was particularly strong with her. And it's not as if her stats were great either.

Usually it's a particularly useful and/or attractive (both for sales and appearance) slave MC wants to buy, and the counter-bidder is always the sleaziest person in the room who absolutely will abuse her even more than she's already been. It's also usually portrayed as a "good" act, despite only feeding into the slave industry.

Despite portraying the whole slavery at a better perspective, the story/author is still promptly forgetting about the whole thing right afterward and won't do anything interesting about/with it. So, just a typical annoying "slavery bad but some characters will get more sympathy out of it so we'll shove the thing in and that's about it" trope that nobody likes.
