There's a very navier centred morality operating here. Anything she and cronies do is considered okay. I like the story but honestly there's an underlying eliticism about the story as well. I just don't think too deeply about it. I'm thinking of not engaging with the updates anymore because it's all gotten so boring since rashta died
Literally I remember hating rashta when I first read this in like middle school. Now looking back while she still isn’t a good person Navier is lowk trash too wdym you’re supposed to be the good guy with the moral high ground but you are chill with slavery and buddy buddy with literal abusers. It would be fine if this was written as Navier having character depth but it’s clearly not meant to be that way.
I just want to point out, since everyone including the author has forgotten, that slavery is still 100% legal and we've just never brought it up again. Lebetti's family kept slaves in horrific conditions, which is how this whole story began, and she's just hanging out with Navier and everyone else like it's no big deal. That's an insane thing to include in your story if not a single character is ever going to acknowledge slavery as a bad thing.
