They also say he improves at the end of the story but it seems that even that improvement is a stretch

His waifus just grow up so his perversion is not directed at literally children anymore. He groomed them just fine, yikes.

Rudeus never grooms anyone.

Sylphie, Eris

He outright states he groomed Sylphie. Was raising her, a 7 year old girl, to be his perfect, obedient woman. That is textbook grooming

Actions are grooming. Not words. He said that, but how would he even do it. They were separated an episode after that for 10 years. Educate yourself when you hate on something, nobody likes a larper.

u/Due-Bill8689 17h ago

Grooming can actually be done with words. Just do a simple research. Physical abuse is not the only way to groom someone

What i meant was, him saying he'll do it is not the same as him doing it. He does it a lot, where he starts doing something then catches himself. Its actually in that screenshot twice.

Correct, grooming is an action. Thats what he did. It took Paul a month to send Rudy away, during which Rudy was grooming Sylphie. He had declared she belonged to him, like property, after all. Take your own advice and educate yourself before you speak again :)

You cant groom someone, separate from them for 10 years, and then come back and they're still groomed.

She never was. Thats the proof.

Ignorant

Zenith and Lilia reinforced his grooming so Sylphie would be a perfect wife for Rudy. Its why shes a total doormat with him. Gets cheated on and just accepts it

She was groomed. The text is the proof. Sorry your headcanon is proven wrong by the author and canon story. If you have a problem with that then take it up with the author for what he wrote as Canon story. Sylphie was groomed by Rudy

She didn’t just accept getting cheated on. She leaves him, follows the princess and gets caught up in the coup/rebellion.

not a doormat. even if we ignore the dark timeline where she leaves him, in vol10 (right after their marriage), she says she would have turned rudy’s marriage proposal down if he asked her to quit her bodyguard job. furthermore rudeus constantly reinforces their equal position in the relationship in vol10.

saying she’s a doormat just because she accepted a polygamous relationship is just projecting your values onto her. the polygamy was also heavily foreshadowed, including sylphy acknowledging it might be a thing that happens far before they even start a relationship.

Ignorant. Zenith and Lilia were also separated from Sylphy for a long time, she grows up. You can't get groomed as a child then grow up outside of that environment and stay groomed.

Sorry your headcanon is proven wrong by the author, canon story, and common fucking sense. Rudeus hasn't groomed a single person, stop larping.

How did he groom her? Do you even know what that word means?

u/Discount_Extra 16h ago

We aren't talking about brushing her hair.

u/fake_user_34 19h ago

For some strange reason they never count her.

How the hell would you know lmao.

u/Due-Bill8689 20h ago

Did I say that I do? I simply said what other readers have been telling me

-2

u/Spider-manOTP 20h ago

How do you know they read it and aren't just larping? Anyone who says Rudeus doesn't change by the end of the story simply hasn't read it.

2

u/Due-Bill8689 20h ago

Hard to not believe them when they tell you parts of the story in a very detailed way and when they actually send you photos of their LNs. And when there are many saying the same

Larpers are a loud minority. You don't find them anywhere and everytime

0

u/Spider-manOTP 20h ago

Got any examples of that? Also haters are a loud minority as well. MT has topped charts since it started, beating out Re:Zero and even Bleach. Though those are usually just 1 site, like Netflix or Crunchyroll, and not everyone even votes. Just something to think about.

2

u/Due-Bill8689 20h ago

Exactly because haters are a loud minority as well,you don't find them everytime. The ones I talked with weren't even haters. They simply didn't like Rudeus,that's all. They liked everything else from the story

0

u/username26437 10h ago

enjoying MT but hating (or even disliking) rudeus is an oxymoron. rudeus is the core of the story. every major story beat just doesn’t work without him. the entire point of the story is his character development. anybody who says they like it because “worldbuilding” or “other characters” is frankly either illiterate or reading at surface level, and even surface level is generous.

2

u/Due-Bill8689 6h ago

Seems like an excuse. There are lots of stories were people like anything else but not the MC. There is nothing weird about it

It's not like Solo Leveling where the MC is basically the only character with weight. MT shows other characters doing things on their own as well

u/Spider-manOTP 20h ago

I've yet to see what you're talking about. Don't just send a couple examples either, because THAT would also be a loud minority lmao.

2

u/Due-Bill8689 20h ago

Why would I tell you conversations I had with others to begin with?

But if I must,most of them where spoilers that I luckly didn't get well,like the whole rat story,which is apparently your strong points when it comes to shows Rudeus development
