I might come back to this a few chapters later. I'll need to forget what happened here. Maybe it was different before, but this had a bad porn vibe. The formula: MC does something absurd involving his sword. Everyone responds like, "oh, it's so big!" It wasn't subtle. Throughout, MC had a resting Chucky look on his face. After reading, I saw a commenter wrote, in effect, "I hope author kills off brave, smart, former slave girl. She's not curvy or submissive enough for my elementary school harem." I gotta cleanse my palette.
