A lot of stories barely consider the attitudes of the world they take place in, so when it just has a lot of terrible poo poo like slavery it's just poo poo. Bookworm manages to create a world with a decent exploration of why things are the way they are and how it got to this condition in the first place. It's believable that Myne can't just spend social problems away because society just doesn't see these problems as things to be fixed at a systemic level. Plus, there's a lot of conservatives/traditionalists who wield the sort of power and influence that money can't touch. It's very much a world that's different enough from what we're used to that I can believe Myne cannot solve these problems as easily as the usual isekai protagonist could.

Her superpower is fainting for real in a manner nobody ever doubts.

Well the last few Mondays just went from feeling like having very minor stakes left because Ahrensbach and Ehrenfest had been settled, and this is "just" a fight to finish off some enemies to the enemies reaching their end goal and obtaining de jure and de facto control, and are moments away from putting that control to use.
