Slavery is not illegal in some cases, the US 13th amendment explicitly states, "slavery is illegal unless it's as punishment for a crime"

Not only does that not make sense, its also contradicted by the fact by the end of the same conversation its said the mc is literally hearing the conversation

I'm sorry but this is a very shallow understanding of what storytelling is about (in my opinion), if u think the concatenation of victories and plans are what make a story you are missing the point a little. Stories are about human connection, about feelings, about hardship, about the nature of being alive and in community with other people, despite the clear differences between one another we carry. People are not just their list of achievements and losses, they are their feelings, their history, their responses. I'm not trying to devalue what you feel or what you get out of media consumption, but there is so much more to like about stories, just because someone spoiled me something about the future i am not going to stop watching, and this is not a nobody, this is the author itself, he might be using this as a way of directing the narration of the books's plot. And besides, he is the main character, he was gonna survive anyways, this isn't to say he will survive unscathed or that people close to him won't suffer sometimes but you already knew he would survive the minor challenges of the story anyways, its not like he was going to die in the first combat

I don't think it's necessary since you are a very good writer, but it is a good practice. I can do it if you want and hopefully give some constructive commentary

would it be racism or xenophobia? hmm, I guess both fit tbh

Althought I do have to point out that this traumatic response to their line of work is a little of an over reaction, don't misunderstand me, it's natural, but some people understand this different. After all, we have people whose whole career is taking care of people with different stages of cancer, as someone whose grandma had stage 3 cancer, her doctors were some of the most lovely and caring people I knew, and got her to live for 3 more years than expected. I'm not saying a traumatic response is bad or wrong, some doctors do have problems making connections with patients that have terminal illnesses, but it's at least not as spread in doctors (just an example) as with advisors in danmachi, advisors in this case seem to resemble more to war veterans than doctors, and maybe it's a cultural thing? we do think of their experience as fundamentally different even when some war veterans are doctors too

I mean, there are ways to talk about this kind of things without ignoring the other person's trauma, it can be hard depending on how bad the trauma is but it's not like they lost all sense of human connections and reason. It might be out of place to talk with the beast woman about it because they are not really that close but it's definitely doable I think

nephew is shorter, but I guess son of the brother is technically the truth

30 minutes in and this might already be too much internet for me
