FINALLY, a single comic that treats slavery as a bad thing. It's incredibly depressing how infrequent this is

@regionala most of the world settings these are set in its not illegal jus like this one but here there is an illegal aspect to it and they found it and stopped it...in most others it has illegal aspects and they do stop it but they always/mostly run into legal aspects of it...and while im not a fan of it at all there's nothing to really complain about when they create a world setting in an era where something is legal and the character grows up knowing it's legal or comes in and finds out it legal because it's a story and thts the setting they chose 😖

"It's impossible to completely uproot all evil!"
Well.........Perhaps consider this: if you guys have a society in which slavery is legal in some aspects, maybe it creates an economy in which "Cheap / free human-resources is a requirement",
Which can easily lead to a dystopian state of affairs. It may be a naive thought, but as long as you minimize every single external factor that can and will encourage people to act like animals, you're creating a situation in which you do not have to waltz around and uproot "bad fruits". Which is another reason why, for an instance, "the war on drugs" was so fucking stupid.

@krispy legality is not the same thing as morality, and slavery is beyond immoral. In the context of fiction, the author is making a deliberate decision to make slavery acceptable, which is absolutely morally disgusting.

@regionala most of these world setting have it where legal slavery's slaves are ppl that owe money or are criminals or something like that (not to defend it but to explain how they do it). The literal only thing u can do if u don't like the slavery world setting to the levels that u can't stand it is not to read them cause the era these are based on (that's the world setting minus fantasy ) were actually filled with slavery that was worse that the stories inpliment.

@regionala can you elaborate more on the 'acceptable' part? I saw no rhetoric nor argument about the morality of slavery in the story until now, nor in this chapter. All there is is the fact that these characters who grew up in the fictional murim saw slavery as a normal occurrence and the deliberate kidnapping and selling of people as inhumane.

I know that people think that it's justified that the MC did what he did..but this is technically illegal stuff. Just because someone did something illegal it doesn't make it okay to do illegal things too. First he kidnapped poor people then he raided and jacked a merchants goods an property. Its frigging hilarious.

For a guy that work in the black market, I was expect him to keep a straighter face. Was half expecting the path down was a trap/labyrinth create in case he got caught by guys he can't beat.
