So this came to mind because I read My Beloved Oppressor (not exactly an OI) and it blew my mind because it actually addressed the topic of interclass struggle with an empathetic approach. Usually I’d never see a critique of the nobility- and the suffering of the poor is never actually addressed in OI in general!

So I was curious- would anyone have recommendations of stories in a similar vein? Or at least, something that can firmly put its foot down and address how common OI themes like slavery or abuse is bad actually, and that the ML or FL shouldn’t get away with these things simply because they’re the main characters?

(I know there’s Isekai Maid Union, but I hear that one is more satire and I would like to read from a story that takes itself seriously.)

Thank youuu 🥺✨

caveats
DO NOT BUY IF YOU AREN’T WILLING TO TINKER WITH THIS MACHINE. this is the equivalent of a beater printer. you have to be willing to tinker with it to work, and the only way to get a consistent performance is to mod it.

- back left spring for bed adjustment is either loose or broken (unscrewing and rescrewing it all the way will usually fix it for 2-3 prints)
- stripped screw on hot end cover, repaired with PLA but susceptible to breaking again
- broken drawer handle, doesn’t affect functionality
- important: currently jammed hot end, possibly a bowden tube fit issue. it should be a <2 hr fix but I do not want to do it.

Looking for recs about class disparity or critiques of common OI tropes ✨
