@Reload 1. No, he could have simply chosen to try to win people over by hard work and showing his sincerity. Now he goes from wide eyed innocent protag to a slave owner in a few hours. My memory on the exact time in the LN is hazy but in the anime he gives up in maybe a day. Alternatively he could simply find a person who either doesn't believe or doesn't care about the accusation. It isn't realistic to say that there is not a single person like that in a capital-sized city.

2. Yes. It doesn't make the slavery any more excusable though.

By the way, I'm probably going to comment on these threads less now that the second episode has aired. I don't typically watch series I hate, so I'll be increasingly out of the loop.

The reason why the kingdom believes said rumors is because it's backed by the king. Hard work and sincerity doesn't help if he's being prejudged. Most would see such acts as fake or asking for attention. Truth is, hard work and sincerity is exactly what the MC does throughout the story. Also, he has found people who don't believe and don't care about the accusation. Wondering how you miss that. Hoping you weren't expecting all that to happen in 1 episode. The story isn't saying there wasn't a single person that fits your description. (Ex: Shop Owners, Slave Trader, Heroine Herself, Soldiers After 1st Wave) Question is, who would bet their life on it before seeing it for themselves. How far have you actually read? It would seem all that matters to you is the title the character has, and not what he does with it.

Slavery doesn't need to be excused in literature, nor does murder and all other immoral acts depicted in literature. The MC doesn't even take the fact he's a master seriously. One thing I think I should mention at this point is that all 4 heroes are slaves themselves; summoned against their will, and doing the kingdom's job for them. If anything, the MC only dragged a bystander into his predicament. Said bystander was at death's door to begin with, so this is the only justification I see on the MC's part. At most, the MC sees his actions as saving someone, as opposed to taking away someone's freedom, at the price of putting them in harms way.

I didn't plan to watch this myself for other reasons, but I felt misinterpretations of the story needed to be cleared up. In your case, I just believe you weren't the targeted audience. You don't need to justify why you hate the series to begin with. I don't believe slavery or misogyny are the reason you hate the series. If you enjoyed other series with slavery in it, it was either dulled down more than this series or acceptable because it was historically accurate. The argument you seem to be pushing is to "not bring non-fictional elements into fiction", period. I'd agree, we teach history to prevent horrific events from repeating themselves, but sometimes it backfires. However, I don't see this happening with anime, as I don't see it happening with video games. If you've ever watched a video game tournament, it's pretty darn civil. There's your fair share of salt, but nothing more. Of course, you can also find videos of rage to the point of destroying one's own property. (Getting off topic here) Anyhow, stumbling upon something you hate is only natural. Not like we can justify why we like or dislike certain foods. It's a product of what we've had.
Give me at least 5 minutes to modify my post before quoting me. (refreshing page advised)
