Takamine-san is just femdom fetish material, its not a romcom, almost no humor in it whatsoever, just a humiliation ritual for the MC while the girl that "likes" him wrecks him emotionally, mentally, physically, etc.
The art is pretty sick though and I honestly would have fallen for the same shit for someone that looked like her as a high school age male so I don't really blame the kid in the context of the story.
Never read Redo, don't really watch anime and just tend to read, may give it a shot some time now that so many chapters are out.
edit - Read the first 10 or so chapters of Redo, its pretty garbage just in terms of isekai stories(which is already a pretty mediocre genre), art is okay but even the fanservice/eyecandy girls are not anything too special, if you want revenge stories there are just so many better ones, but if you hate women you might enjoy it a bit more
Mato Seihei No Slave / Chained Soldier hit the same fanservice notes. And made it funny. And framed the whole thing in a way where it wasn't abusive. Takamine-san just sucks.
I would call Mato Seihei no Slave much closer to a romcom - I've laughed at several chapters at least - as well as having similarly good art to Takamine-san, definitely handled it better overall.
I'd rate it like a 4-4.5/10 so that tracks imo, but it is just because of how completely braindead every single character including the MC is. I just figure if you dislike women it gets bonus points because you get to see strawman women villains and see them properly punished for their crimes.
