It’s an enjoyable story, but has some very questionable logic “He had been to many worlds where slavery was rampant, so he didn't think of the Slave Traders as bad guys. In fact, one of his Hosts was also a Slave Trader, who sold slaves to people, whom he believed would take good care of them. There were always two sides of a coin. Depending on how one looked at it, there were many stories where slaves actually had a happy ending, and found joy despite the circumstances they were in.” As it turns out, when I beat someone half to death, and poisoned them for a year, that person was quite thankful when I decided to let them sit at the dinner table instead of the prison filled with glass shards…perhaps the system has never heard of the terms Stockholm syndrome and suspension bridge effect. This has been thirteen’s largest character defect in my opinion

LIKEYeah, like sure, being a “good” slaver is better than a slaver that assaults and tortures their slaves but how is that any better than an arsonist that avoids kids but targets old people?
pretty awful, yeah, i think Elion has been poisoned with too many generic isekai with slavery plots
also now that i think about it, this thought process doesnt fit at all with a character that hates to be controlled and desired freedom and to free and save others at all costs, he's more of a revolutionary and someone that fights back, so him thikning slavery is "not so bad, actually" is really dumb and completely breaks the character Elion has built until now
