I'm not saying this to deny the fact slavery was an everyday thing in the past, but even back then people didn't strive to be slaves if they had a choice, and seemingly decent modern people suddenly isekaied to a world with slavery should have some reservations. But reading the manga based on LNs (or the LNs themselves) makes me think the Koreans aren't exaggerating their suffering under the Japanese rule before and during the WW2.

    Trying to defend the bitch in Shield Hero is insane, though. The MC also has his reasons and is a reasonable person, all in all. But even for him slavery as a concept isn't seemingly distasteful. Perhaps it all boils down to the difference in valuing individuality and personal freedom in the East and West.
