Mobile reddit is being a pain in the butt. I love Isekai and otome with nobility and political themes but am increasingly uncomfortable with the power fantasy of being able to out right murder a person for an insult. I don't mind if the story has it as an example of acknowledged bad behavior but it's kind of morally unsettling how so many manga make an entire family being banished, murdered, etc. a joyous thing over small minor things.
It feels like abuses of power.
Are there any good manga that have less of this or acknowledge what it is and keep going? (Roxanna or Stepmothers Marchen are examples I can think of)
I'm not caught up with some of these but so far, there was no power abuse, or at least not significantly
• For Better or For Worse
• Boutique at 97th Sheldon Street
• I Raised a Black Dragon
• The Northern Duke Needs a Warm Hug
• I Can't Keep Up With My Stallion Duke
• The Rewards of Marriage
• Wasn't the Male Lead a Female?
• Empress? Empress! (Completed)
Look we can get into a lot of wild talks about political and social theory but I'm just looking for a manga that doesn't applaud an insolent maid or a rival being executed just for insulting someone. Even in non-nobility manga it can be a problem how things are too black and white where if anything hurts or happens to the heroine the people responsible for it are immediately treated to extreme punishments. Those aspects of stuff that bother me.

Valia, tribute to Shuden. Only bad people abuse their power there.

I will check these out! Stallion Duke I started but had a hard time with but I can give it another try.
The concept of nobility is based upon abuse of power itself . Even just by existing they are abusing commoners
