Yeah I don't like when slaves are slaves from birth, knowing what freedom is and knowing just how different their lives are now that it belongs to someone else is key to just completely making a slave my own. It does get along with my view of slavery being a deeply intense and personal experience between Master and slave, it is still a romantic relationship, sort of.

Im not sure I like the debt system described but I can't exactly detail why. I like the forsaken idea, but it being magic means that the need to serve deep inside of you just literally cannot be ignored, there's none of these choices made to give in to just how you never were a person anyways, which makes it so much more powerful as you cede more and more of your life away to someone who will use it better.

Any attempt to institutionalize this type of thing in fantasy world building will likely end up with similar problems since more than a few of these ideas step over each other, often times in way that should be mutually exclusive. Sure I want to deeply brainwash a formerly free former human but having a aisle at the slave market for discount reject cat girls also sounds fun. There's far too many of them, the runt will love you even more for taking pity on her in such a world. Even if she has 3 ears for some reason.
