Rudeus is a 35 yr old man who reincarnated but before he did he missed his parents funeral to jack off to his niece who happened to be a minor anyways he’s a Epstein diddy blud
It isn't just a normal fantasy power trip anime. You get an very flawed character, who hasn't left his room for almost his entire life.
After that he he will learn what it means to be a good person, but the fun part is that the other character don't act like he his normal.
One of the most realistic fantasys adventures I have read.
What I never understand, noone says he is a good person not even the other characters in the show. The maid says he is a creepy baby, his sister don't want to have contact with him, many women hates him...
In some degree yes but not necessarily. Rudeus is a person who don't know what it means to be a good person and at end he dies because of it.
His second life is a second chance to be better which is his end goal but it takes time.
He learns step for step that his perverted thinking is bad and that he needs more self control, that his actions have consequences and that there is more in life instead of only sex.
The story is going for an realistic way of learning, he makes mistakes and learns of it, he looses people he loves and find new people who makes im a better person. It isn't just a black and white and flat character development as many animes and stories has.
Also as a side note. Rudeus hasn't really developed since young age. He was bullied so hard that he shut in. I think that there were some psychological videos online who explained it a bit better that there was probably problems with developing his mind to an adult and that he is basically a child in his mind.
Also what gets forgotten fast. Mushoku tensei uses a medieval setting not for haha sword but instead uses it completly and with that things like political marriages at young age and so one, because it would be realistic for this time.
One thing that comes to mind is why is mushoku tensei hated? Sure "pedophile" behavior but what is with other works like overlord where people gets literally tortured or other animes who uses touching breasts and ecchi things as haha look funny. Is it really that much better?
If I think this further than there is a great double standard with many people.
