The web novel is apparently the grossest version of it as Naofumi is practically very much pro-slavery in that version. Original Naofumi is basically a pragmatic sociopath. The LNs definitely try to paint Naofumi as more conflicted over the whole thing (with the initial purchase of Raphtalia being a moment of character weakness) but the author is simply not a great writer so it's extremely poorly done. But then there's the really gross bit later on where Naofumi actually does get over a lot of his issues and be a noble hero, only for his literal slaves to lament and want their rear end in a top hat back. That part really seems to paint Naofumi's worst parts as supposedly being a good thing. It makes it hard to take a lot of the issues with the franchise being just poor writing.

It wouldn't surprise me if Shield Hero is one of them. There's that and a lot of them are adapted from web novels that the authors often wrote when they were teenagers so they've matured a bit since. The big example being SAO where the author's other works show a lot more skill.
