>You must keep her alive, fed and housed
This was rarely the case. Hammurabi's code, for example, sets a price to be paid for someone else killing someone's slave. Slaves were human property primarily treated as property. You don't have to take care of things you own, though it's generally more sensible and economical to do so.
>The MC even pays them salaries
If they can leave and find work elsewhere they're not a slave. If they get money despite being enslaved it's more of a stipend than a salary since it's not in exchange for work performed
>That shit is identical to our H1B program
It's really not. Leverage isn't the same thing as bondage.
>You can actually do real slavery here in the US via the H1B and illegal immigrant programs Dems run
No, you can't. Also illegal immigration as a source of cheap labor was a hallmark of the Reagan administration, and Obama both ran on being harsh on illegal immigration and deported more illegal immigrants than Trump
>Shit's historically accurate
If it was historically accurate 99% of isekai protagonists would use them as sex slaves and whore them out when they were bored of them for profit
>Scold's bridle, etc.
The Scottish who primarily used them were infamously savage, violent people by the standards of their time, and not everywhere needs to be based on medieval Britain.
>magically tortured or some shit equivalent
Torture is literal nonsense and was comparatively rare until state power became more centralized in the late medieval-early Renaissance era. If you have mind-reading magic it's literally obsolete regardless. If you have high birth and mortality rates execution is more practical.
