@Lord-Raine, I only disagree with the Mary Sue bit because I have to give some credit to those who say it gets tossed around quite a bit for almost anything anytime a female character overshadows a male character or whatever. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Mary Sue defender, but to be...

@twinklecake, ok, I'm beginning to think you're just being stubborn. The other two I had a disagreement with understood my point about the slavery thing. We've moved on. I'm moving on from you. It's so funny since I actually agreed with your point and just added my own general thoughts about the...

I could've sworn I read in the beginning it was six guys and two girls, now it's three girls and five guys? Or is that a translation error? Edited: Nevermind, I misread everything.

@Xoldin, fair enough.

@Karuaiku, No problem, understood. @Xoldin, you're free to criticize just like I'm free to criticize your criticism. I understand you being annoyed about it. I just think at this point in the life of the genre it's become a moot argument. Again, for example, I dislike lolis and shotas, so I try...

@bvdaf, I agree, too many chapters wasted on him dancing around the obvious.

@sorarinnie, LOL😀😁😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ok, so mark me down as thinking that MC would somewhere get himself together, train, and I don't know, Batman this whole thing like a self-made vigilante, not that a sword would fall from heaven.

I'm going to keep reading and again, I get the cultural context that backs all of this, but it still seems a bit forced for what I suspect is the impending revenge fantasy. I get people set themselves on fire to protest, it just seems a bit much for this scenario. I agree with Synically, I'm...

This went from 0 to 100 real quick. I mean, the parents didn't think their son would need them when he woke up? Getting justice was more important than helping the boy live? I get the translator's note at the end and the cultural emphasis, but really? Now the kid is left to his aunt or to...

@Kuraiaku, Every time slavery comes up in these comments, it turns into "Why did author do this because its bad in our world" type conversations with people imposing their view of slavery on an alien world. So, yes, I brought it up in the conversation because it never gets brought up that it...

@duderus, I would've preferred what the web novel did rather than what the manga did. @TanithG, I know right, great point. @Rayster, I don't recall that being the reasoning in this story, but it's a viable excuse. @Kuraiaku, I know you didn't say that, I was just bringing it up because it's...

Can someone tell me where in the light novel, web novel, whatever this chapter is so maybe I can do some skim reading in my free time?

@twinklecake, i agreed with you, so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@twinklecake, I know right, but it doesn't make sense to impose modern morality about slavery into a story and world setting that is not our own. Not to mention, again, seems most people forget, slavery still exists in our own world. @kaminomikan, sure.

@kaminomikan, not if we're speaking in generalizations, it doesn't. Even outside of that, the poor are usually the have not's, the have not's are usually the ones in which the image of criminal activity are imprinted on them by society for a variety of reasons. The point I was making to you is...

One of the two things that always will bother me with Japanese written isekai are: 1. People only notice their eye and hair color if they're directly transported into the world from Japan, never their other facial features, eyes, nose, shape of the face, skin color, etc. (It's not like Western...

@Xoldin, @Kuraiaku, you two both know slavery still exists, right? It's just changed to "human trafficking" in most "civilized" places. But yes, isekais like to drop it in medieval settings or you could say ancient settings where slavery was a thing for a variety of reasons, not necessarily the...

Wheewww, wipes brow. Glad to see many in the comments get it. Her argument was ridiculous. Even if she felt that way, it would've made far more sense to, at the very least, use the noble handing you things and offering you a job to pick yourself up rather than choose to stay on the streets. But...

Ok. Just want to say that harem stories aren't bad by default, but badly written ones are. Your mileage may vary.
