READ ITTT!! ITS WORTH IT!! ITS ABOUT SCHOOL BULLIES AND A CUTE PSYCHOPATH GIRL

Please elaborate.
Usually, that kind of message would be a yes, but because so much people were talking about the gore I wanna know how bad it is…

The gore isn't even that bad I wouldn't even call it gore just some Blood and that's all.

Thanks!!!!!!!

Its about a high-school girl that got bullied to the extreme and ultimately ended up taking her own life. Her father, enraged decides to seek out his own revenge on these bullies using his weapon, a psychopathic killer from NK, to bring them to their demise and to cause them cruel suffering to avenge his late daughter, who was his love and reason for living after losing his wife after she gave birth. Karma, the girl he adopted from NK is instructed to go after each girl separately in different missions and act out her step father's orders in order for their revenge to carry out successfully.

It gets really gory at times and can be traumatic because this showcases extreme bullying and abuse, and extreme violence. It is very entertaining at the same time because we get to see these bullies with no remose or empathy get their coming-onto and experience the grief they put their victim/s through, by the hands of Karma.

:)) thanks for the very detailed response! I think this is a pass

You're welcome! I wanted to really give you a look into whats in the manga so it's not like a big shocker lol. And I'm glad you were able to tell it was a pass for you before reading it and possibly getting triggered ♡

Similar tropes and creatures, but both very nice stories on their own.

Like the way it’s written is different?

There's slavery in that manga??

Yeah, the mc originally wanted to purchase some female slaves as maids remembering a manga he read in his first life, but there were none available so he purchased 2 families. The way slavery works in that book is whenever someone is in debt and they cannot pay it off the government makes them become a contractor to whoever wants work. They can still create their own terms on the contract but they’ll probably try to compromise because they wanna be free. Also this institution doesn’t exactly revolve around abuse but… (¬_¬ )

My glaring issue with it is that totally innocent children will get enslaved along with their parents. Like, the worst way I can see this is their parent could be a deadbeat gambler getting the family into insurmountable debt and the kids get enslaved because their crime was to be made from some dumbass parent. And this really isn’t a totally random hypothetical I thought up because there was a character who got put into slavery because they were a drunkard who didn’t want to pay their debts. Also usually the family is split up when they are sold so “the mc is kind enough to purchase the families as a whole!”…. (¬_¬ )

Anyway that manga was one of my favorites among my years but I felt like I had to drop it because he supported such an institution :/

Oh, I don't think we're talking about the same manga here? The one I'm thinking of is that one, campfire cooking in another world with my absurb skill, with that Fenrir, cute slime, and small dragon. I don't recall there being slavery there, unless it was specified in the novel in the later chapters (which I didn't read yet).

that’s crazy bro

oh i love this manga. cute one

Are you sure it's the same manga?

I don't remember him buying slaves though since all he had was furry animals....Are you sure that's the same manga?

??????

Yes everyone, it is the book with fenir, the cute slime, and the dragon. Although I will correct myself, this really happened in the light novel. It’s been more than a year since I’ve dropped that manga so I don’t know if they cut that part in the manga but it definitely happened in the light novel

Yeah I do not remember that happening in the manga so it was likely cut. So the manga has just been cute and wholesome.

I read the novel up to the latest edition and regarding for the slaves, yes it’s true but isn’t it more good to the slaves rather than letting them on the other hand of the nobles? He literally bought ALL of them because they don’t want to be separated and bought them everything they need to the point that they feel comfortable of talking back to the MC. It’s also stated that if they have enough money they can regain their freedom and with the amount of money the MC gave to them (more than enough the minimum wage) they can be free after a few years. He also gave them options to learn basic writing and reading, gave them expensive souvenirs because they are his extended family, provide them with better housing (compare to when they are still farmers) and just basically treating them as helpers rather than ‘slaves’. So I can say that slavery in the book (with the MC) isn’t actually that bad as you guys imagined it to be. Sorry if it’s too long, I’m a fan of this work both manga and the novels.

Um, what??? I’m not imagining, children are enslaved in the novel because of their parents mistakes/stupidity even when they didn’t choose to be born from their parents. The kids have no choice, how is that fair to them? I will say the scenario of specifically drunkard parents or deadbeat gamblers creating a situation where their kids would also be enslaved did not specifically happen, that hypothetical was an attempt of giving people a better perspective on why I feel the way I do, but in the book kids do get enslaved on the behalf of their parents debts. In my point of view just hire normal workers, and if you cannot afford that I will look at you funny for supporting such an institution.
Adding more layers, and tell me if this is right, but in the novel isn’t it explained that buying a family is better because they won’t turn on each-other & possibly stay loyal after they are free? Making it so that he went into this with the intention of specifically buying kids regardless of the situation they were forced in due to their parents debts & decisions.
Although it is true that he treated them really well compared to how they would normally be treated (And I can understand how a person without at least a American high school education may have a harder time understanding what still may be wrong with supporting such a system/institution if they personally treat their slaves/workers well whether it is a Japanese character or Japanese author) it’s just that with my education & morals I have a hard time ignoring him supporting such a system/institution that will enslave children on the behalf of their parents mistakes & debts. I wouldn’t have a problem if the children were not paying/working on the behalf of their parents but they are so it is a pass for me.
I don’t know what your education is and especially how old you are, but this system/institution would raise a lot of questions about morality issues to the real world.
Finally, I don’t know if you caught this, but in my comment you responded to, specifically when I quoted about the family thing, I was less poking fun at the mc and more poking fun at the readers glorifying him as generous.

I did not type all of this in an effort to change your mind; I am explaining my point of view while reiterating the facts for you. Believe what you want to, but as an African American it is a pass for me.

Of course, I do see how your perspective is being hold towards the whole scenario but the way you worded it ‘as without slavery’ made it seem like you’re trying to portray the MC in a bad image whereas it is stated in the novel that he only wants helpers in the mansion and help him with his business in secret hence the reason why he decided to proceed is also due to the magical contract of both slaves and to the MC. Isn’t it also stated in the book that families chose to be slaves to not be separated and yes it is unfair the kids are being included in the whole situation but if you’re placing this situation in real situation isn’t this more ideal and safe compare to kids being separated to their parents with high chances that they might face more unfortunate circumstances compare to being with their parents that can protect them? I don’t want to make this as a light topic as you said you’re an african american which I have knowledge of being years of being in the same circumstance before but saying this ‘Making it so that he went into this with the intention of specifically buying kids regardless of the situation they were forced in due to their parents debts & decision’ is not it because the kids are the first one who stand up in front of him and literally begs him to not be separated to their parents? The MC’s intention are only to find helpers of his house and keep his skills a secret and to have cute woman maid (not in sexual way) thus he does not have any reason to also have the kids along with the adults? He even said that ‘but if the kids are begging so earnestly, who am I to complain?’ And you keep saying enslave the kids when the whole books of novel there’s no instance where the MC treated the kids as slaves but only for the kids to help their parents voluntarily aside from when he asked the little boy for computations of the sells of his business when he learned the kid is good at math.

The novel is much closer to an indentured servant system than slavery. Both families are in debt, once they work off their debt they're free to go and there are strict regulations in how they're treated like the magic contracts

And yes he is generous because have you seen like the same person in reality where they bought slaves, give them their own houses bigger than what they had before, provide them with much better living like food and shelter, paying them higher than the minimum wage in that world, pay them to just increase their education, treat them more like an employees, does not force them to anything out of their comfort, give them space where they feel safe and protected and then treat them with respect and kindness? Because if he’s not generous then I don’t know what he is then.

I don’t want to make it seem like I’m trying to justify the whole slavery in the novel but kindly don’t leave out details and info of the whole process in the novel.

I also feel uncomfortable when this situation happens but when you think if this is in reality, where if this MC didn’t decide to go with both families and go with normal workers, what will happen to the families then? They will be surely be separated as no one is richer than the MC that time but the nobles and its not entirely clear if they will be treated like the way MC treated them as the nobles in the novel are already depicted as less evil. If its the kids in that world with the slavery process where they strictly protected by law and magic then this much safer compare to left them behind if its only the parents will be in jail.

I recommend you continue! He keeps that weird line wolf vibe but by searching for emotions he tries to overcome that. The story is really interesting an by ch 25 there’s definitely some progress!

Thanks!!! And do the lone wolf vibes change into doing stuff alone now because he doesn’t wanna bother his loved ones?

So his goal is to learn emotions, cause he needs them to do magic. So he gets to know people who will help him reach his goal. But him being OP and fighting mostly solo doesn’t change atp

But the precipice of the story and the worldbuilding is great! The characters are not that superficial like in most of these tropes. The world is pretty unique and the concept of magic too

Tysm for being so thorough!!! Will read

Theyre comparing it to jinwoo’s story basically

Like how all second adaption are always treated, they are always bound to be compared to the first gee

I know that usually unplanned spin-offs receive some hate but what is confusing for me the opinions are really polarizing AND no one is fully explaining how they feel…

Hated cus they think his powers are too unoriginal and doesn't stand out. Which is a fair point. That is until recent chapters. Now the hate dies down cus we have a character development for suho, breaking out of his shell of being merely jinwoo's son

Thanks!!!!!

Or is it just like this in the beginning? (Which is a hella good sign)

I dont think there is a Light novel (at least I didn't find it))

Oh ok :(

Well, I was trying to see if it was a naturally fast paced story which I would loveeee, ORRR if it was a rushed light novel sterilization which I would not like. I’m only asking this because I checked some of the reviews talking about this, and I wanted more context

no, as far as I know, he doesn't have any slave. He is the slave (parents) for his familiar tho (≧∀≦)

Yes he bought two families, 5 hunters (3 of which are siblings). The buying slave idea is actually very very systematic in the story. It was explained how one becomes a slave and how they can get back. There's also laws that protect said slave (magic contract and stuff) and they have to receive salary aside from the salary they need to pay their debt (it's the reason why they become slaves). Mukohda was very very generous with them, he made sure to use the families different skills (like the farmers, baking, cooking, house cleaning and helping with his business of shampoo, the hunters as guards and made sure they learn how to read and write and do basic math. He also made sure they use proper hygiene and bought them clothes and shoes.) It was to the point where these servants he bought was grateful that mukohda choose them. If I remember corrently one of the family went in debt because their youngest daughter was super sick that they have to buy holy water but that's expensive. When Mukohda bought them the first thing he did is feeding the kid Sui's potion + dragon heart elixir ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

In short it wasn't a stereotypical slaves that get hurts and stuff (although originally Mukohda want to buy female slaves like those stuff he saw on mangas like maids. But there was no available female slaves and also pretty and handsome slaves usually get to choose where they wanna work but I'm not 100% sure about this part since it's been a long time since I read that particular volume)

I’m starting to think now that the word slave in Japan doesn’t have as much power as it does in the US commonly like saying you’re a wage slave. I’ve seen this concept in some stories I have been able to accept. I don’t mean to bother, but can you be more specific about how you become enslaved and how protected are you by laws?

Well I don't remember the exact details so I could be wrong but there are many ways on how one becomes a slave in the story. For example the dwarf hunter Mukohda bought is a drunkard, he and his team got into a debt and the only way for him to pay is by selling his weapon, he refused so he got caught by the slave seller (I totally forgot what they call that but it's equivalent to government jail). So it's mostly just about getting into debt and not being able to pay for it. The way to protect the slaves and the person who bought the slaves is through magical contract, if one breaks the contract you can actually see it in their body. They will get a full sleeve black tattoo kinda in their arms that they won't be able to hide so it will show to everyone that this person broke the contract and they will get punish or smthg not sure. So basically they put everything the slaves and the buyer agreed to in the magical contract. And yes the slaves also have a say to it. Another is when one family gets into debt and become a slaves (like those Mukohda bought) they give this families 2 months or smthg and advertise them to be bought all together (to avoid getting the kids separated from their family) if after 2 months they haven't been bought, they will be sold one by one. So in Mukohda case he bought 2 families because according to his friend (I forgot the name but he's the merchant he saved who sell leathers stuff) it's better to buy family as they will less likely to betray and have a high chance to stay/be loyal and become an employee after paying their debt. There's also no sex slave there, slaves is just basically getting into debt so the government helps you find a job. This whole system is much simpler and not really scary compared to other slaves stuff probably cause of the theme itself. If you read the story there's a very few scene where it's a bit gruesome/sad but it's mostly glossover or not explained in a very detailed scene probably to avoid overshadowing the "chill vibe" of the novel.

You had me untill you started talking about the family piece (눈_눈)〣

Thanks for the lengthy explanation :))

I garner from your explanation that it's more like a system of unpaid labourers in jail for parole.

Well can be yes or no. They get paid, tho not mention how it is but I'm guessing it's like 40:60 where 40 goes to the master who bought them (because they technically bought their debt) then 60 goes to the "slave" or could be different but the gist is they are similar to "modern slaves" -workers who has insurance to pay hence they don't get their salary as whole (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Anyways I'm just gonna say the novel so good frfr

Nah I trust its good, just wanted to clarify.
Cool shit.
I hate the 'abused female slave(s) come to desperately love me because I saved them' bullshit
