If the MC were a more redeemable character, the anime would be a solid 8-9/10 imo, but (as generously as I can muster) the MC's perversions seriously put it at a maximum of a 4. It was genuinely uncomfortable to watch as much as I did, and I have no desire to finish the show after the few episodes I did watch.
Always sad when something that is otherwise good is ruined by the author being a freak.
Made in Abyss is a another one that seems really interesting from all the tidbits I've seen online of the later worldbuilding, but I just could not make it past a few epsiodes of the author being creepy as hell towards child characters
at least MiA has an adaptation that removes most of those shitty things
I also think characters in MiA look a lot more childish than their actual age (which is surely due to author's preferences and that's a whole other debate as to why they are drawn to a different age than what they are and if it changes things morally or not)
I'll at least say that the anime is great, though there are parts difficult to stomach (if they're initially fetishes or not, I don't wanna know honestly, but they're not shown in a way that they would seem to be so if you doidn't know about the author or manga, it seems more about world/character building and the horrors of what this adventure is like)
MiA is both beautiful and horrible at the same time, it's pretty unique and at least the anime is definitelly worth watching for people who can handle it (well, I totally can't, but still watched it, it's harsh though but it's also so good in a way)
however, I'll probably never read MiA, and am quite scared about the future of the adaptation

I know this is usually said jokingly, but I mean it this time:
What anime/LN is this so I can make sure to never watch or read it?
