I recommend passing on this one unless you want to read yet another racist author’s work. It doesn’t happen in the first 40 chapters, but I’ve read the MTL and it happens later in the story when the MC goes to a higher realm and is talking to one of the officials in that realm of the likelihood of being able to marry even a maid in the realm. The official tries to explain it with a hypothetical — “If you had a daughter who wanted to marry a Black man, you wouldn’t like that, right?” And MC goes, “I’d break some legs if I had a daughter that dared to marry a Black man.” Ugh.
