Description

On one side, we have a kidnapped rabbit beast-kin girl whose village was razed to the ground so she could be captured and sold into slavery, her identity and background magically erased in the process. On the other, we have an unnamed victim of an isekai, by means unknown, who is not only dragged to the new world, but has his soul shoved into a dungeon core, his identity and background also magically erased. They meet in the slave-pens, which are astable, at a slave-operated mine. The two then have to work together to try and regain their agency, and their freedom.

With the human supremacist kingdom of Sydonia arrayed against them, can they succeed?

This story had grabbed me by the appearance of the second main character. It's been a while since I was so invested so quickly in a story.
As I said, the story has several structural flaws. Sometimes, it seems reduced to a dialogue script, with remarkably little prose detail. (I still don't know, for example, how many slaves they are travelling with.) But hey, the same could be said about Shakespeare. And there's a character, a child in an adult's body, who seems to consistently react to the world around her as an adult, not a 10-year-old. At times, the story seems to be intentionally moving to fast to give you a chance to think about what you just read.
But none of that will keep me from coming back and reading more of this story! In fact, I had in mind other problems with it, but by the time I sat down to write this review, I'd forgotten what they are! That's how little they mattered to my enjoyment of the story!
And that is three exclamation marks in a row, indicating that it is time for me to go sit down. Read the story.
