Eeeh....I think I can get my reincarnated villain fix elsewhere. This one is...weird.
Firstly, there's the obligatory but not surprising slavery issue. Like...the MC has shown absolutely no qualm with the idea of slavery. Not really a good start when it comes to replacing a narrative villain.
In fact, I suspect that this isn't going to be a subversion from villainy at all so much as a "what if the villain just won because he was smarter about it?" setup. They're making a moderate effort to show he'll have a better relationship with his slaves, but it's just been unapologetic sexual harassment so far and absolutely no remorse or efforts to make amends for past actions.
Third, maybe it just got lost in adaptation, but what the heck is up with him getting domination magic? Like, bro just opened a book and picked up an ancient magic that was forgotten because it was hard to use? That was such a leap that I felt like I skipped 3 pages of explanations.
