More Wiki fun: While Naofumi considers the Slave Merchant to be a useful person due to his role in providing him with various slaves for his growing army, he does not indicate any real trust for the man. The merchant has noted that Naofumi has good business sense, and is not an easy man to deceive, and refers to Naofumi as his favorite customer. Naofumi on the other hand creeps out on the slave merchant. He never mistreated or exploited any of the slaves under him and has disciplined them only when they refuse to do as ordered. This same treatment extends to literally all of the slaves he comes to own, with them even coming to treat him like a parent figure in return. He also spoils and rewards them when they give it their all and perform well like giving a ball to Raphtalia and cooking for all his slaves even in the middle of the night. --------------------------- I mean I don't know how to make it much more clear than this. Shield Hero is a scumbag. There might have been a point where he had to rely on a slave. But that has long since past. After he had entire villages believing and rooting for him.

I mean, one of the central fantasies of this sort of story is for a previously powerless person to be given a whole world that they can reshape as they see fit. Slavery fetishism is an unpleasant but very logical extension of that.

Captain Invictus posted:slavery is almost the bottom of the barrel of quality of life for a person, so it's a super brainless way to give a protagonist good guy points for opposing it, and a really easy way to recruit companions for an adventure since it's easy to write someone who'd rather go on an adventure than be a slave, with the added aspect of them probably feeling indebted to the protagonist for saving them One of the worst things about many of these web novels is that, in addition to being power fantasies, they're also usually "everyone loves/adores you" fantasies. There are almost always various contrived reasons for other people to love and adore the protagonist, who is usually in a position to easily help/uplift people (usually due to the "power" part of the fantasy, or being able to provide people with modern technology, etc). So you end up with countless instances of people praising protagonist-sama and thanking them for helping/saving them. It's honestly nauseating and one of the biggest reasons I can't deal with stuff like the slime isekai.

The long descriptive title exists on purpose so that people reading the stories online or only able to see a spine can grab the gist of a story and decide to read, both marketplaces are very crowded. Japanese is also a more dense language than english to begin with. In english the long descriptive titles were also popular premodern era for the same reason, but were normally subtitles or alternate titles, or chapter titles that explain the entire content of that chapter in the case of works that were published as serials in papers and recollected later.

quote:Twitter users have speculated that the trigger for Ginkyoku's initial angry tweets was a tweet Monety made on February 9, saying, "I think it's around time for me to draw a rape manga. After drawing so many illustrations that don't push the envelope, I've been getting backed up." Monety also wrote in a reply: "I get bored of just drawing 'safe' ero illustrations." It is thought that Ginkyoku interpreted these tweets to mean that Monety had a low opinion of the light novel itself. ...Amazing.

Daniel Defoe was definitely channelling that light novel spirit before light novels came to be. Consider Moll Flanders, or, to give it its full title, 'The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders, Etc. Who Was Born In Newgate, and During a Life of Continu'd Variety For Threescore Years, Besides Her Childhood, Was Twelve Year a Whore, Five Times a Wife [Whereof Once To Her Own Brother], Twelve Year a Thief, Eight Year a Transported Felon In Virginia, At Last Grew Rich, Liv'd Honest, and Died a Penitent. Written from her own Memorandums.' The reason for all this was that novels of the time lacked blurbs, so the title was where you explained exactly what the book was about for any curious readers.

Gulliver's Travels is officially Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships. Defoe has other great titles like Memoirs of a Cavalier; or A Military Journal of the Wars in Germany, and the Wars in England. From the Years 1632 to 1648. Written threescore years ago, by an English gentleman, who served first in the army of Gustavus Adolphus, the Glorious King of Sweden, till his death, and after that in the Royal Army of King Charles the First, from the beginning of the Rebellion to the end of the War. But some works buck the trend with short titles, like Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded and The Vicar of Wakefield – A Tale, Supposed to be written by Himself.

It was disppointing to see that it was cancelled not because it's about twelve year old sex slaves, but because the author got huffy when the artist called it a "rape manga".

Those titles and these subject matters are fine and dandy for livejournal like stories posted on what amounts to a fan-fiction website (albeit at least all the stories are in their own universes), but you'd think for novelization or anime adaption, they'd soften the material or at least change major offensive points for mass consumption. Then again, judging by comments on other boards, apparently stuff like Shield Hero is "acceptable" to the point where they don't get why it is problematic, but they just love that it pisses off SJWs. It's like, loving hell guys.

Elfgames posted:i mean the first title still leaves out "and then i found some girl in a dungeon and made her my sex slave for some reason." Yes but the title alone combined with the cover art should really tell you all you need to know about the contents of a story like that. Like look at what you're holding, are you really surprised there's even more smut hidden among those pages?  Now compare that to this. You could pick this up based on the cover and title alone thinking. This'll be a fun adventure with grumpy shield guy and raccoon girl. And then we'll... get Shield Hero.
