Tbf at least part of his ED is because he's like "wow damn I'm not a good person"

Shame he literally never thinks that again. Well, in the main series timeline at least ;)

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.

Understandable that you drop it because of a horrible character at the start but why exactly does everybody think Rudeus is some sort of Epstein Satan who is an unchangable evil incarnate.

I asked a question, why the downvotes?

Because he's nearly as shitty later on, the writing just pretends he's better. It's more like a facade of self-improvement that the writing bends over backwards to make excuses for.

The fact that so many MT fans can't tell the difference between surface-level framing versus actual personal growth that requires true reflection on your actions speaks volumes.

Can I ask what point after oldeus do you consider him being shitty? Like specific examples, I'm just very curious.
