Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World

I guess I would call this manga a slow burner. It's about Kaga Michio building a harem of slaves, but the rate at which fe buys slaves is very slow. Though I don't want to make it seem like this is a bad thing. On the contrary, by being slower--less rushed--it allows us to get used to each member of feir harem and build emotional attachments to them. Roxanne is feir first slave. Fe is a beast warrior of the demi-wolf race. Feir mannerisms are very cute and I'm falling in love with fem. I should probably mention that it is a bit morally awkward how this manga portrays slavery and coercing women to have sex with you (by socially taking away all routes of escape) as being acceptable as long as the master is gentle and not overtly abusive. However, I don't glean my moral opinions from manga, so I'm not really offended by it. And at the end of the day, it turns me on...though I'm not sure what that says about me psychologically... The sex scenes (so far) are in chapters 12, 16, and 23. The majority of the manga consists of Michio using feir "Character Reset" cheat ability to change feir class settings and abilities. We see feir internal monologues as fe experiments with feir abilities and plans out the best course of action. I find the dungeon crawling to be just as engaging as the sex scenes. They'll sometimes use chibi artwork in the dungeon, which is reminiscent of the isometric graphics of Final Fantasy and other RPGs, and is adorable. [Reviewed at chapter 26]

To be clear, this manga is heavily focused on harem building, and in that regard, it does a great job. However, if you’re like me and looking for other aspects of the story, than this story is rather lacking. There is no other goal, aspiration or greater issue that needs to be solved. All the MC wants is to make a simple living while getting more slaves for his harem. He does have some encounters with bandits and regularly goes hunting in dungeons. However, this mostly just feels like a side hassle to achieve his goals, and not exactly some epic fights against strong opponents or something that directly leads to an interesting growth in the main character (I think there is some growth but its not exactly a big focuspoint for the story). These conflicts make it difficult to label it as a slow life story, however it also falls way short of being some epic action story. as such i would really call it just a slow life harem building story. - this was written at chapter 58 (this review has been rewritten)

An okay isekai. I dropped it because the slave/master relationship got extremely tedious. I loved the fighting and the action bits but really the explicit sex between the slave/master wasn't what I wanted. I guess if you're looking for something adult that has a wee-bit of adventure thrown in this would work for you but it's not for me.
