* AssassinationAttempt: Dardarill poisons the lord of his city by having their butler poison them. The other characters speculate that it is to have his adoptive father become the lord, so Dardarill himself could vicariously enjoy the increase in prestige and power. Dardarill is dealt with on unrelated wrongdoings before the poison could run its course, and Itsuki is able to cure the lord of the affliction.

After Renge's capture, Yachis makes clear that Renge is now a criminal and that Sorte is also guilty by virtue of inciting her with a letter full of lies.

* CultureClash: Itsuki has normal modern-day Japanese values and is very much a live-and-let-live type, which causes a lot of problems in the RPGMechanicsVerse: the culture in his new world demands that slights and harm be addressed through weregild in some way, even if that means someone ends up enslaved for life. Itsuki dislikes this and only works with this system reluctantly, and tries to at least mitigate the harm done to its victims--meaning buying slaves himself to keep them out of the hands of less benevolent masters, and freeing them when legally possible.

''Slow Life in Another World (I Wish!)'' (''異世界でスローライフを（願望）Isekai de Slow Life wo (Ganbou)'') is an {{isekai}} {{fantasy}} LightNovel series written by Shige and illustrated by Ouka.
Chronically overworked Japanese salaryman Itsuki Shinomiya dreams of [[SlowLifeFantasy an easier life in another world]]. After suddenly dying waiting for the evening train, he's greeted by a goddess who offers him just that. Much to the goddess's bafflement, he sticks to his guns and picks out the skills "Pocket Change", "Alchemy", and "Farming": rather than go adventuring against the local Demon King or what-have-you, he plans to open up a small business and take it easy.
After Itsuki joins the local Alchemy Guild and learns the basics, an altercation results in his first run of product being destroyed. His guildmaster demands recompense, and--to Itsuki's horror--the beautiful knight Aina Vermut volunteers to enslave herself to him to cover the lost business, with her fighting partner Solte coming along to keep an eye on her.
The novels were originally published in Japan beginning 25 March 2018. A manga adaptation drawn by Nagayori entered serialization in ''Comic Gardo'' on 12 July 2019, and was released in English by Creator/SevenSeasEntertainment beginning 17 August 2021.

* AppealToForce: [[spoiler:Dardarill attempts this after Itsuki wins the bet over Wendy, sending his goons to take her by force. Fortunately, Itsuki brought backup in the form of Aina, Solte, and Shiro.]]
* BarbieDollAnatomy: There's more than one shot of full-frontal female nudity in the manga, none of which have any of the relevant attributes shown.
* TheBet: Yaschis, the local slave trader, arranges a competition between Itsuki and local fop Dardarill to decide whom he'll sell Wendy to, after the two nearly come to blows in the street when Yaschis loans her to Itsuki for the day. Whichever of them first comes up with the price of 120 million nohl (80 million for Itsuki since Dardarill has a head start) gets to buy her. [[spoiler:Itsuki crafts 40 million nohl worth of jewelry and sells them to Reinrich, and comes up with the other half by inventing a bullet vibrator and selling the sales rights to Yaschis.]]
* InterruptedIntimacy: Itsuki and Wendy have other characters barge in on them nearly having sex a couple of times: first in the bath when Aina and Solte come in just as their FuroScene [[AlmostKiss moves towards kissing]], then a few days later when she joins him in his bedroom and they're interrupted by a sleepy Shiro going to the wrong door looking for the bathroom.

* MadeASlave: There's three kinds of slavery in the setting. Economic slaves sold themselves mainly to cover debts (c.f. Aina and Solte), convict slaves were sentenced to hard labor. Then there's "special status" slaves like Wendy, who come from the aristocracy and therefore have more rights, such as not being able to be sold without their consent.
* SlowLifeFantasy: After slaving away in corporate Japan, Itsuki's highest ambition is to be his own boss and make enough money to live on comfortably.
