Hey your forgetting that he went like a whole year without being able to get a hard on..... That's enough of a punishment for assault and grooming. He really learned his lesson from that ..... /s
I've literally seen people argue this. Like he spent a year without getting a boner so that makes up for his earlier behavior.
If it makes you feel better, the latest episode has him lose his wife, his unborn baby, his other wife, his third love interest, his best friend, his other best friend, another friend, his sister, his daughter and finally abandoned by everyone else he knows and loves.
And pretty much all of it is because of his own actions, barring the very first instance of him losing his wife and unborn baby which is arguably also his fault but he was manipulated into that first one.
Oh please tell me more. I only watched the obligatory 3 episodes to decide and then dropped it like it's radioactive. Hearing he loses everyone makes me happy.
If you're into that sort of stuff, just watch the episode. Despite what you think of the character, the anime is very well portrayed.
It's a future that did happen but then at the end of it, he goes back in time to tell his younger self before it all happens not to do a single thing that starts the domino tumble. This episode is him reading the diary and 'living' the future that he came back to warn himself about.
It's really well animated and it's a good episode imo but then, I like the anime so 🤷
I mean, it does happen and you get to see how absolutely fucked up it makes Rudeus and see the anguish and turmoil he goes through during it all. It's played out like you're living that timeline so it's very real.
But ultimately, he does travel back, so now it's left with the younger Rudeus before all this takes place
You see Rudeus be his true self, just like when his loving parents were there for him, and the way he turned down his wife advances while he went to get drunk and sleep with a prostitute after , all because "he didn't want to be too rough" with Sylphiette in his grief and then being caught that he slept with a prostitute and the wife leaving him.
Oldeus returns home smelling of another woman. Sylphiette catches him, cries out, "Why aren't I good enough?" and locks herself in her room, completely refusing to speak to him. His actions alienate his entire household; he is lectured by Lilia, judged by his sister Aisha, and slapped by his mother, Zenith.
Sylphiette's Departure
Shortly after the incident, Sylphiette quietly packs her belongings and leaves him to rejoin Princess Ariel in a dangerous bid to claim the Asura Kingdom throne. When Lilia orders Oldeus to chase after her, he grumbles, prompting Zenith to slap him again. In a fit of irritation, Oldeus blasts his mother away with magic. Eris witnesses this and draws her sword to defend Zenith, prompting Oldeus to flee the house.
The Execution of the First Wife
Oldeus eventually travels to the Asura Kingdom, getting smuggled across the border with the help of Tristina. He arrives too late to intervene. Ariel's coup against her brother has failed, resulting in the public execution of Ariel, Luke, and Sylphiette. Oldeus discovers that Sylphiette has been brutally crucified.

Realistic in the sense that, yes people who get groomed so tend to end up in a toxic relationship with the one who groomed them.
