If you want humanity to win - you anoint people who have proven themselves worthy with the title of a hero, a holy artifact and a boost of power. A common approach is to put a holy artifact at the end of a series of trials that will prove the would-be hero's worthiness.Why whatever higher beings in manga universe always give scumbags/idiots the hero class?
But if you want to test humanity - you dump the hero title and powers on the shoulders of an ordinary person. Will they prove capable of saving the world? Do they have the heart to assemble a good party? Do they love this world enough to keep fighting when the going gets tough? Are they even good enough of a person to actually fight evil?
And if you really hate humanity - you summon a hero from an alternate world. And hope their influence will change humanity for the better, for example, teach them to love beastmen instead of enslaving them. At the very least, they'll bring some new dishes for you to eat.
This is free will. But in the real world, there is no such thing as absolute freedom. There are always circumstances.On the one hand, typical fantasy with OP MC. On the other, at least he frees them from being slaves instead, but despite no "slave contract", we also need to consider (on the other other hand) they're in the middle of nowhere and he's their best bet to survive. So not as much "free will" as it'd like to pretend, when there's literally nothing else to do, since they're summoned, aka everyone was teleported and doesn't know how to get out.
If we see something to disprove that last thing, as much "Oh another OP guy kicked out of a party" this can get i'll put it above a lot of other fantasy stories. I want to applaud this for finally not being about getting another slave and "oh, but he treats us better", but we'll see if i comfortably do so without it being just a rewording but still no other options
But the slaves' condition improved greatly - they are now more like peasants, or maybe even like a noble's retainers.
