I'm just going to dump my thoughts here. It's your problem now.
Who... Who is the intended audience for this?
They keep layering shit atop one another, and I'm stuck here thinking, "Why go through all these hoops?" and "What the hell is happening?"
Am I resistant to psychological thrillers to the point I feel fuck-all from this, or is this just shit?
A mummified corpse's worth of romance.
Maybe I just hate psychological dramas?

What is it with talented artists getting horrible injuries?
At this point, I'm starting to think artists have anti-plot armor.

"She felt dizzy and felt the ground thumping." Was her caught up in her emotions, attributing the thumping to her heart instead of a giant metal golem.

There is no Geneva Convention here.
It is "open season" in the war criminal sense.

Thought about it, but it's too granular. The powder recovered is, well, a powder as seen when he holds it and when he is beating the crap out of the wizard.
Ectoplasm is almost always depicted as a goo.

Maybe sand golems, as they are basically a pile of materials?
The reason I equated it most to grey goo is because it replaced every person in the kingdom's body without them knowing.

Closer to nanomachines, as they are inorganic.
There's a point where physics and math become biology.
Since her false biology is magic pixie dust, I would say it's closer to "grey goo" or something similar.

The Greatest Estate Developer is a parody of human greed/capitalism and is funny.
The whole thing was a challenge to make the worst person personality-wise while also getting the audience to not hate them.
Also has great art.

I checked if I said anything like "slavery is good/natural," but I just referenced that fact that it's old as shit and would fit a story that is set in times long since past. We don't have a historical record of when slavery started; as in, the practice might predate the written word or agriculture.

The Mesoamericans did it for their daily sacrifices; the Egyptians did it. I mean, motherfucker, it was in the fucking BIBLE. Regardless of whether you see that book as holy scripture or a collection of folktales doesn't make it less old.

Anyways, I amend my statement: "Slavery only died out in our timeline because of technological advancement." It also died thanks to better education. Thank you for working me into an annoyed research fervor and bringing up memories of random shit I learned.

Anyways, about keeping slaves "suppressed"—uhh, considering that ~30% of Rome's population were slaves they dragged in from somewhere, we didn't need magic to keep slaves in check. It just helps to be able to activate what is essentially a magical shock collar if they start trying some thoughtcrimes.

Oh, and America is getting worse, measurably actually. But it isn't the best example of capitalism's extreme. The best example is the United Fruit Company (and similar ones). Which basically run the country they are in and pay its people practically nothing. In modern times it's gotten better, but not by much.

From a numbers perspective, slavery is the most efficient form of work possible. Don't know where you got that slavery is inefficient; it isn't, it's just fuckin' cruel. Why do you think business owners are persistently trying to get more work out of their workers for less?

Consider the following.
Slavery only died out in our timeline because of technological advancement that made slavery more expensive than humans.
Slavery, if undisturbed (steam engine and machines never created), might have stuck around forever.
Greece had slaves; Rome had slaves. In fact, it was so commonplace that it would be weird not to have a slave-backed economy in those times.

Now, let's go to a world that is deadlocked technologically due to the fact that people can get extremely strong and the presence of a convenient "fix-all" power that some people have and it paints a very depressing picture for POWs and people in a lot of debt.

Loyd's threats to turn someone into a ghoul after they die to finish paying off their 200 years of indentured servitude would not just be threats in a fantasy world. (God, I love TGED.)

It explained it on panel 12.
I'm not privy to the feelings, but I understand the thought process.

As someone from the outside looking in and trying to understand a more scarce variety of these people, it very much became clear to me this is under the wider domination/summation dynamic some people like. It's putting your absolute trust in another person. It's weirdly romantic. Romantic in the same way some... other... kinks are.

Anyways, I know you didn't ask(or even want to know) the "scarce variety" I was referring to was cannibalism or true vore.
This variety is "Whole Vore" where your partner is whole/unharmed during the process.
True vore is practically sexualized cannibalism which ranges from cooking to consumption. (i'll let your brain fill in the gaps)
Anyways, the appeal to true vore almost religious, a continuatioon of life at the expense of another, reminiscent of some hunter gatherer tribes of past eras, only this time it's has some afterlife moteifs in as the depared live on within the comsumer.

Anyways, after reading this, listen to "BUTCHER VANITY" Consider it weird homework.

So basically fills the same niche as rats and flies... great.

If... If they are mimicking a well endowed woman, it can only mean one of three things.
1 it's trying to get you to let your guard down.
2 it's testing what it can do with it's body, and copying the shapes of things it saw. You got lucky and saw when it shifted into a human it saw.
3 they "like" you, and are prepping for "something".

Now, before you start, be careful about sticking your dick in places you don't know, especially if that place(or it's owner) is trying to kill you.

Well, it's kinda hard to connect the dots between a angry barbarian and a well-oiled liar.

I don't really pay attention to that area, but they are roughly the same size relative to her waist and hips.

for one, that section you reference in "I can't hold back" was Yujin fighting with himself over weather or not he should act like a child around Ain.

as seen here, it gives context to what he was holding back, his misplaced love.
and there is a precedent for masters having supreme command over their disiples's lives as seen here, in the scene where Linus give's his master the ok to butcher him.

The chick next to him barely flinches, but looks uncomfortable.

There's also his verbal statement here, saying that he would die if Magnus wanted him to.

in regards to stopping his regeneration, it appears he has a way around it. as seen in ch 12 which gives context for how little danger Yujin was while bound by his master.

I don't know the grand mage's name, but Magnus, Skyrim's god of magic felt applicable to the guy who invented magic.(In truth, i read "from Grand Magus" from you and it tickled enough neurons to think it said the name Magnus(i'm dyslexic))

I didn't want to make an entire paragraph, but you did that for me.
To Yujin, magnus is allowed to do these things to him and he is supposed to keep it a secret.
Magnus saved him, and, importantly, educated him. Magnus, despite everything, is still idolized by Yujin and considers his master's needs above his own.
This is a fairly common sign of abuse.

TLDR: Yujin believes his life is below Magnus's and that magnus holds the right over Yujin's life.

That's the sad part, in his mind there was never a need to forgive because he never saw it as wrong or being wronged.
