At least she wasn't a sex slave, not like all those slaves in male MC isekais.

 

[Nep]

Spoilers please. Why is she a slave and why is she released again?

 

[Hollow7F]

@Nep i mean if an eleven years old just appeared somewhere, its basically free real estate for whomever that finds her, like a slave dealer, who is gonna say she isnt a slave? she doesnt have a family or noone, and its basically a 11 in the middle of the street

so the slave dealer probably just found her and went: Neat! a free slave!

 

[kirakira03]

thank you!
storyline is interesting!

This feels like the author said “hey that’s a cool title! I wanna make that the premise”, but then wrote the story and thought “hmm, yeah on second thought it’d make more sense to just make this about her coming to the world, being a slave, getting free, and making a life for herself... but I already made the title...”, and then they just mashed two storylines and premises together all at once without giving either the proper focus.

This could be a good story if it started from her coming to this world, how she became a slave (because that wasn’t mentioned), and her harsh conditions. Then it could go into detail about how the mistake was made, she freed (and ran), and then have the witch looming over her fir a cliffhanger. Then future chapters have her learning magic and to live from the witch. Well, that would work for one chapter if the chapter was long (at least 50 pages), this also felt super rushed. Or this could be good (option two), if it started with her meeting the slave and choosing to purchase him and then overtime have hints and flashbacks and dialogue to explain her personal past and why she bought him. It’d be extra interesting if it was fro, the perspective of the slave that will be bought and we got suggestions that the witch that purchased him is an other worlder. This weird mashing butchers any potential plot or storyline.

@Hollow7F That doesn’t explain why or how she was transported to another world (we haven’t even seen what she was doing before or if a god talked to her or if she just poofed there). That also doesn’t explain why this world has slavery or how slavery works in the world (bit of a nitpicking, but I hate all these stories just randomly throwing in slavery. Slavery isn’t a sustainable or economical system except for REALLY primitive and poor societies (which arguably any place with magic shouldn’t be); slavery for life wasn’t even that common in those societies; I mean, I’m just saying I don’t see why a magic civilization that can make slavery shock collars would waste resources and time and money on such an unsustainable system (YOU CAN MAKE SHOCK COLLARS?! HOW IS YOUR ECONOMY NOT MORE ADVANCED?!)). That also doesn’t answer why someone was near her (and why their first idea was to take in this frail looking girl, feed her, and provide at least the bare minimum for her when probably no one is going to be buy her (most slave traders have high standards because keeping slaves alive when you can’t sell them for a lot is just expensive)). I mean, realistically speaking most people (in any world or time period) would just ignore a random 11 standing in the middle of nowhere. She wasn’t even doing any work for the guy. He’d either have to be really really stupid to pick her up.... or really really really stupid.

@TNT261 The title makes more sense later on in the story. I mtl-ed the web novel the manga is adapted on. The title didn't really make much sense until 20ish chapters in.

About the webnovel:

Spoiler

The webnovel is actually rated r18. The slave is from the demon race which have a high libido all year round due to really low fertility... So he's got enough energy to spare. Lol

On the witch:

Spoiler

Her development/training isn't really focused on. It's only 2-3 chapters out of +150. The witch is her master/potions teacher and gives her a generous sum of money when she dies. The MC ends up buying the slave with that money when she realizes that she doesn't really know how this world works.

I'm not saying the story is a masterpiece or anything, but it's definitely not the worst thing I've ever read. It's more of a guilty pleasure let-me-turn-my-brain-off kind of read. I wouldn't really recommend it if you want some hardcore world building/reasoning. I haven't read that far into it, but so far they talk to the events leading up to her disappearance but not really the how or why she's there.

Spoiler

It's actually stated that, in that world, summon people/heroes are considered to be myths (at least to the general public).

THAT TITLE

 

[Ushika]

I swear if she doesnt just buy the guy to save him...otherwise I don’t get the concept of “I suffered under slavery so now that I’m free I’m gonna buy a slave”

 

[coldb7]

WTF Japan!!, also how the fuck is standing up over night gonna strengthen your leg and hips, how about eating more and doing squats.

 

[PervySageSenpai]
