Hoping that having an editor would make some of the awkwardly heavy-handed personality of some characters in the pre-serialized version be at least less heavy-handed... although considering how they handled their other series...

That elf girl reminds me of that one poro hentai, where there was a pink haired girl who went missing, and after some years the MC found her in an abandoned basement with both her arms and legs amputated, and one eye gone :/

Isn't that slaver actually a pretty decent guy? I mean, he taught the girls how to survive, and even instilled hope in them (in his own way). He also seems to treat his slaves well, as Nora is in perfect health, and doesn't seem to hate the slaver either.
Whaaat, a slave trader who isn't a complete piece of human garbage??? 🤯

there is a lore reason for that

there are groups who mark isekai people and the slave trader is one of them his cheat ability is the slave contract he makes I guess he wasthe one who standardized this type of contracts in the country as he stated he does things differently

Then he must've been reincarnated, because he said "that elf girl's been here since I was a kid", this implies a family business. Or he's just lying I guess. [/SPOILER]

Oooh, looks like someone finally translated the serialized version. You made quite a lot of different translation choices from me. I also saw a couple of mistakes, and even a line you didn't seem to fully translate too on page 12. Not gonna fully nitpick you though. I just hope you put in as much care into the story as I'm doing, I'll keep updating the web comic meanwhile.
Lmao you scared 'em off.

This author has a talent of making interesting worlds with insufferable characters.
Just reading this leaves bad taste in your mouth, of how good things could have been.

This mc is hopeless. It was obvious how he didn't choose any fighting skills.

Wow. That was bad. I don't think I've ever wanted to like something I hated so much ever before. But like, what? Some of this is interesting like the MC's cheat power and how it works and the bit about magic in the world and the goal of healing the elf. But then like the execution is so... wtf? So like you have the MC who is overly kind and kinda an idiot and... what else? Nothing else? Any redeemable or interesting qualities? No. Well the manga wants to act like him getting turned off for paying for sex is one... again wtf? I actually kinda liked the slave magic at first. The idea that slaves are paid when their master genuinely think they've done a good job and that feeling can't be masked is interesting; even more so since it gives every slave a pretty straightforward path to buying their freedom. But then why was everything around it so weird? I mean the MC fethisizing it. The girl herself acting like the MC made her heart flutter by being an idiot who "feels good when he gives her money". Even the slave trader who the story seemed to act like he was doing the girl a favor by turning her away from reading and teaching her the skills a good escort could use. Honestly my immediate thought was that (especially with her looking underaged) this manga was just a roundabout excuse to condone all the escort services in Japan. Which maybe my heads in the gutter, but the progression of the chapter really makes it feel like. I mean that flashback from her wanting to learn how to read to now where she suggests just wanting to get the MC to keep giving her money from feeling good through sexual acts is just painful.

I'll probably try the web comic now and see if it gets better. If it's good I'll hope this version gets updated. If not I'll still hope it gets an update for anyone who wants to read it; I just won't want to myself.
