i read a japanese light novel series where the world was like this called no game no life.
in it, violence is magically prohibited and all conflict is resolved through games (tic-tac-toe and stuff) instead.
it's a fun premise but it actually illustrates my point.
when physical harm is removed from the equation, moral choice becomes less about resisting evil and more about strategic advantage.

in such a world, people still lie, cheat, manipulate, and exploit others.
they just do it through non-violent means. so yes, you can imagine a world where physical harm is impossible, but that just reshapes evil rather than eliminating it.
and if free will is to include the capacity for morally significant choices, then removing consequences or constraints might actually undermine that freedom

would such a world preserve the moral weight of free will? that's the philosophical crux.
