I Became a S*ave to The Mastermind Chapter 19 Discussion

I'd like to say I enjoy reading this novel. If you like the other author's novels, such as Pet Lady and My Little Grand Duchess, I'd say it isn't as bad with the weird torture dynamics as Duchess. This one is also already completed on Novelpia. Though, the novel is only on chapter 19, there's already

straight up torture to force the protagonist into a s*ave contract with the mastermind. Hera's choice to become a s*ave is for the plot, but it's also reasonable. Since Athena is a master magician, she keeps Hera's heart from bursting due to shoving her magic power into Hera until she agrees to the contract. A normal person who just commented on a novel got transported to a world where she was the strongest, even for a moment. Then, the Hero shoves her fingers down your throat and you feel pain that makes you want to die. You have no choice but to accept. This is also the event that shatters Hera's belief in the original novel since it literally didn't say anything about this.

Personally, this is better than Grand Duchess, even if it is the earlier work.. for now. If you enjoy this author's works, I'd say you'd be desensitized to the amazing amounts of second-hand embarrassment, humiliation, and deprivation of human rights or straight up dropped it from the start. I'd rank the cruelty levels:

1. 1. Mastermind

1. 1. Grand Duchess

1. 1. Pet Lady

Setting:

Spoiler

Hera: Protagonist, is a reincarnator with a unique ability, super strength. "Black Bear that Tears People Apart."

Dania: One of the love interests. Older sister of Lily. She embodies the older sister archetype with a lot of darkness.

Lily: One of the love interests. Little sister of Dania and the yandere in the novel. Not an adult yet. Trained to be an asassin.

Athena: Love interest. The Hero of the Empire. Also the mastermind of the novel. Mysterious attraction to Hera. No unique ability, only magic shown to be used.

.... all three are probably pe*verts.

Special abilities: rare, only a handful of people have it and are conscripted. Known: Saintess, Crown Prince, Hera

If you read the titles of the raws, it's pretty clear that there's f-preg and marrying... and polygamy..r-19. A lot of things you'd expect from a yuri Korean novel of the genre. If you're pissed it's going to turn out like this, oh well. I'm going to drop this if it gets way too extreme like Grand Duchess.

All in all, please don't read this if you hate any of this.
