Will we ever see an author who bothers to depict how these things and their magic system affect the isekai society?
Absolute magical contracts that can self-enforce on its own

No, because isekai authors don't have a brain developped enough for that kind of advanced reflexions.
The horizon of their reflexion is "my status window says I can increase my cheat skills even more and I'll free a slave beastfolk and make her part of my harem (also she'll want to be my own slave)"
Nathaniel Lewis
Log Horizon does this.
Ian Powell
Didn't read enough isekai. Read more isekai.
Sebastian Clark
Yes, but it won't make much sense in the long run anyway.
They always start out with something that could be really interesting if taken to the next logical steps, but it slowly turns into over time as more and more cliches are added to feed the audience.

Whenever magic is portrayed it's either hidden or only used by the elite. Think about it this way, computers have had a huge impact on society the likes of which has never been seen before, but that's not because of the computer itself, it's because so many people have access to a computer society changes accordingly. If we had stuck with huge mainframes then the computer wouldn't really have had much impact on society, unfortunately that's not how capitalism works.

Would you buy a slave if you got isekaid?

It depends on the setting. I would buy Cecyl in that setting though.
James James
I've read so many isekai I've even read genderbent selfcest isekai.
Chase Sullivan
sauce?
Michael Brown
You've read an isekai that's being TLed on a TL hub site with several genderbender isekai TL projects ongoing? That's the example you chose for being "well read in isekai"? Sasuga, poster-kun. Try again.

Circumstantial. If she was a captured enemy soldier or crime slave, then maybe if I needed her and could afford her. I definitely don't want to support debt slavery or whatever you call it where they just kidnap innocent people to sell. In that case, if I had OP powers I'd try to break the slave out instead.

The Zero no Tsukaima LN has the pope open a portal to Earth letting Saito receive WiFi
Jayden Sullivan
Correct, unless those authors want their MC to completely break their magic system as an anti-magic power fantasy, but it requires braincells to do that and to balance the other magic wielding characters, so most authors would just use the Dragon Quest template

>They don't really care about religion one way or the other nowadays because it hasn't been a major influence in their country for almost 400 years now. Oda Nobunaga took care of the Buddhists, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi took care of the Christians. By the time Ieyasu took the reins and established his shogunate dynasty all he had to do was stay the course to prevent either group from being a problem again. By the time Japan modernized, religious influence had waned to nil in the country.
You forgot when the japanese government decided to militarize shinto to pump up nationalism since it was indigenous and unorganized, so it wasn't a threat. That got stamped out by the Gaijin Shogun, and since then syncretism without any serious opinions has been the rule. Which, japan had always been syncretist country to its bones, they just added christianity into the mix. This is a big reason why their views on christian doctrine are... muddled

In Harry Potter maybe, but not in any isekai where magic is the norm.

>Magical command seal
This is fucking stupid. If it is so cheap and effective, why doesn't the ruling monarch apply it on all citizens?

What?

That sounds like a good way to end up as a crime slave if they got caught.

Chadari was too based for her own good.

By whom? Historically, slavers were always in cahoots with the local lords.
Alexander Myers
There is a reason they don't delve too deep into it. They want to preserve a "Medieval" aesthetic, and fully incorporating magic doesn't work for that. There is a D&D setting made a while ago called the Tippyverse that is an example of a world where magic is taken to its logical conclusion.

To sum up, vast cities linked by Teleport Circles, with virtually untamed wilderness between these city states. Other potential implications are discussed in the thread I linked to, but the basis is vast cities with the majority of the non monstrous population inhabiting them, wilderness between with most of the things you find in the Monster Manuals living there.
Nicholas Cook
That implies teleportation wouldn’t be some high level magic that isn’t difficult to use.
