To be honest, I'm about 80% sure this series is a direct parody of Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo. I have absolutely no way of proving this theory to be true, but the dates do line up (Isekai Meikyuu light novel started Dec. 21st, 2012. The Isekai Meikyuu manga started April 26th, 2017. Isekai Elf no Dorei-chan's manga started Oct. 11th, 2017). The two series have damn near identical worlds and setups. The major difference is that the story in Isekai Elf no Dorei-chan is told from the perspective of the slaves, rather than the character who was isekai'd with OP powers.

If you are a fan of Isekai Meikyuu, this series is actually hilarious. Because it shows you a glimpse of what is probably going on behind the scenes in Isekai Meikyuu outside of the main character's perspective. In Isekai Meikyuu, you see the slaves praise the MC constantly like "As expected of Master!" or "Master is amazing!"
But in Isekai Elf no Dorei-chan, you see the reality behind their praise. Unbeknownst to the "main character" (who isn't really the main character, Elf-chan is) all his two slave's praise is, in reality, is lip service in order to flatter him. It's basically their job to stroke his ego, even if their master is complete cringe. They basically force themselves to throw a ticker-tape parade for him anytime he kills a slime - The weakest monster. Not only that, but it becomes a competition between the two slaves who can kiss the most ass.

Look, I love Isekai Meikyuu, but even I can see the humor in Isekai Elf no Dorei-chan. This is what I like to call a "fun series." Don't go into reading this expecting something deep. It's not trying to be something like that. It's meant to be funny, entertaining, with a hefty dose of lewdness added in. If you're prudish when it comes to the eechi or harem genre, then this is not the series for you.

Frankly I wouldn't mind a sequel series, I actually really enjoyed it. I doubt it'll ever get one, but there is legitimate room to continue it. They could totally make a side-series about the Magician's daily life with her slave, and see whether or not the "Main Character" and her actually get together. The potential is totally there.

I should note that as of August 30th, 2023, only 116 of the 135.5 chapters have been translated in English. Fortunately these chapters are really short, so it was simple enough to translate the last bit of chapters (which was only 55 pages total I think? Anyway you can just run them through Google translate, and get a rough idea of what they're saying.)

All in all, I'm glad I read this series. Telling the story from the perspective of the slaves, rather than the one who's normally the main character, is a unique and hilarious spin on the isekai harem genre.
