I'm so fucking tired of isekai stories insisting on having slavery. The story would have been completely fine without it, he has plenty of guards that AREN'T slaves so why not just hire another. And the slavery is always "not that bad in this world so it's fine" even though the ox-man was fully gonna accept becoming a human experiment which mean that IS something that you can LEGALLY do to slaves. Having a world with slavery means having a system that allows people to have their rights and bodly autonomy stripped away. It doesn't matter if they treat the slave well a slave is still property in the eyes of the law; and havingyourmain character buy a slave means they support that system.
There is NO ethical way to own a person, and I'm sick of stories pretending there is.
Okay, so I'm at chapter 15 rn, and the system of slavery they have in this world isn't really slavery it's actually indentured servitude. The main difference here is that indentured servants have contracts, are paid salaries, and are usually only servants for a few years or as stated in their contracts. Slaves have none of this and are legally considered property with no human rights; so calling this slavery gives a wrong impression of slavery.
Indentured servitude is still an awful system though since it's basically having more rights than a slave but less rights than a servant. Honestly, I think it was a completely unnecessary addition and I don't get why every isekai protagonist has to have someone in a much worse position of power serve them. It doesn't make them look good
Not good at names but from what I remember the anime didn't introduce the slime researchers until well after he got the blood slime, the fox girls mom just doesn't show up at all (even when they eat dinner at her house) and I didn't even know that the shopkeeper had a daughter till just now. (Although you do see his grandkid so I just assumed he had a child)
And those are the ones I remember, seems like they cut out any background character that isn't relevant to the plot
Maybe it's because I haven't read this in a while but the earth slime seems new to me. Can anyone tell me what chapter he got it?
Why tf did he do that? And not only did he forgive him he has maintained a close enough relationship with him to the point that this creep is one of the first ones to find out about his pregnancy. AND HE LET HIM IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE
