Kekkaishi e no Tensei - Vol. 1 Ch. 3

[plsnobully]

@KuroInfinity check the last chapter's comments or the raws, short answer seems to be

Spoiler

yes

 

[macarroiz]

@mismarca No, never been a slave is a good thing. Employment, a place to sleep and food anyone can get anywhere. This mc is a willing-slave that because the authors wants FOR SOME REASON he's fine to be a slave and don't get the slightly revolte about that. Not even in his thought we see him thinking something like SLAVERY IS BAD AND I DON'T WANT TO BE A SLAVE ANYMORE. He's just "I'm a slave, ok fine, my master is kind so it's ok" like WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU??
Now he can understand what she said like "you will be forced to work for us for a few decades before you are set free when you are already a middle-aged man that lost half of your life working for us".

What they are showing for the MC seems like kindness but it's feels more likely as pity, or just "he has a great ability and is skilled on it, let's make him more willing to do what we say".
@Doomer I know how you feel bro, almost dropping it. I hope the people saying it gets better in the future are saying the truth

 

[Vontrein]

After reading the novel it..... truly sad

 

[Pocky8]

So, if there are no birds, a dragon will do, then? 😂

 

[GerryCerryBery]

So many happy moments.

@macarroiz You are wrong about that. In ancient times, elite slaves (personal bodyguards, teacher, butler, ...) had quite a good status. So if you were a slave coming from the slums or from a war (village), being trained into becoming an elite slave was a salvation, because you would never have a status as high if you were free. But it's true that it was extremely rare, most elite slaves had a higher status when they were free (nobility, soldiers, ...).
In this story, we can suppose he was from the slums, so him being trained as an elite slave is in fact a good thing.
But I agree that slavery was never a good thing globally, that it was something that needs to be abolished. If all slaves were of the elite category (who were an investment), it could be a good thing; but it always was low-level slaves in majority (not treated better than a beast, cheap man power, just a merchandise). It's even worst now since nearly all slaves are of the low-level category.

Btw, they were 3 different categories: low-level, elite and gladiator (only for the roman system)

Better to drop this manga if you dont want to break your heart.

Sorry my english suck..

 

[Sep10trion]

This is just as bad as the isekai where the MC gets date raped by the girl

Spoiler

The royal family kills the entire family because MC doesn’t want to join them. The girl gets fed to prince’s dragon. MC goes to royal family and insta-kills them. Then he goes to another kingdom. Which is odd; who can stop him from setting up shop in this land?

 

[Meridis]

@pokefairy
@mismarca

that's the problem though, he isn't a servant, he's a slave. There's a seal on him that can make him obey their orders against his will. They may not use it but he doesn't really have free will.

Spoiler

This gets them all killed when someone who has control over him betrays them.

@Sep10trion

A bit of a correction on the spoiler

Spoiler

it was the general or marshal starting a coup. It was his dragon and he killed the royal family and the dukes family with the help of one of the butler that has control of his slave seal. Ultimately, you could say that everything bad that's about to happen was because they didn't release him now and put it off till later.

 

[Ovnidemon]

@Sep10trion What's the name?

 

[Meridis]

@Ovnidemon

29-sai Dokushin wa Isekai de Jiyuu ni Ikita……katta
mangas only just getting to that part right now though.

 

[CelticMutt]

I'm just going to point out something I feel needs to be pointed out in every chapter of an isekai manga: Any spoilers people read outside of RAW chapters likely come from the web novel source. Web novels are rough drafts that will be altered when turned into a light novel, and manga adaptations will always come from the light novels, not the web novels.

I cannot tell you how many times I've seen people who read the web novel for something get confused when new events occur or events get altered when they read the manga. So just remember that any spoilers for this series are not guaranteed to be accurate anymore.

That said ... it's probably a safe bet that any spoilers you have seen are about 80% likely (random safe number) to be accurate.

 

[lazerus56]

Is that Bird AHEAGO?

 

[Ovnidemon]

@CelticMutt At the very least, they seems to have removed the video game elements, so the OP boost will be very difficult to explain.

For those not knowing, without spoiling too much: soon the story went from daily life as a butler to generic OP isekai (even extremely generic. All the staples food are there:

Spoiler

pleasing gods with food, befriending monsters, finding hidden cheat people, having his own territory, japanese cooking, harem with slaves, hiding his skills,...

)

If it turns like the WN, I'll surely drop

 

[LysandersTreason]

Just looked at the WN a bit, Eril is way older than she even appears here. When he was 9, she was 24, so 15 years older than him.

Also looked further at the WN (chapter 34 so far)... basically these three chapters are the most interesting it gets, everything sort of goes downhill from here. And not because of tragedy, but because the author is a maniac.

 

[rafavic]

Just read the spoilers. Damn, that's a shame, but peace I'm out.

 

[Gauvain]

@macarroiz
Replace the word "SLAVE" by "job" there is not much difference in freedoms, it is even you have to accomodate housing, transport and food yourself which adds stress.
Worse we are made to believe that we are free when in the end we are forced to do things

all that to say that there is not only one deffinition of slavery
and that we should not all define with one word and one interpretation of this word
because nothing is simple in life

you should try to put yourself in the shoes of others, it will change the way you look at the world
besides, it should also help you better understand your situation

 

[karanga]

poor slave, he'll prob be screwed over by his new owner

 

[NaniTheFuck]

look at this Dude clothes he can change it like magic.. what an amazing work from drawer

 

[Namelessmoreless]

Arghh shit. This damn spoiler and maniac author.....at least let the lady safe (not like wn fed to prince dragon(?) ) i think i will drop this ._.
