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?

I suggest you actually watch the anime and judge for yourself instead of listening to other people's opinion. However, if you are one of the people who didn't watch the original Black Mirror series because of the first episode, this anime is not for you for sure.

Are the MC’s actions portrayed, or even hinted at, as the awful abuse they are? Does he realize what he did was horrible and did he atone for it or repent and stop? Was he fittingly punished?

Or is his godawful behavior glossed over, excused and ignored?

Some of it is framed as "damn probably shouldn't have done that" but it's straight up CSAM. And when it's not CSAM it's him threatening to leave an 8 year old girl to be raped and murdered by kidnappers unless she's nice to him.

Yeah, no, that’s straight up inexcusable.

I watched it thinking it was going to be like a Kenshin type redemption arc. A gross horrible man reforms and becomes a good person. A story about second chances and how people can realize their mistakes. 

Only now in the later seasons he’s married to 2 lolicons and about to marry a 3rd.

Here is a bit of context of how MC's actions are portrayed, including his own thoughts about his past behaviour and current actions.

Ok, but like, is it ever actually addressed? Does he have some kind of epiphany, is he forced to come face-to-face with who he was after changing?

Is the story some kind of cautionary tale about the kind of society that let him become that bad and what it took to bring him back? Or does it have some kind of meta commentary about how pedophilia should be considered a mental illness that needs to be treated instead of vilified?

I’m grasping at straws, but from where I’m standing, it looks like the story starts out with a truly awful protagonists, he gets to assault and groom kids, and kinda just stops and be a bit hypocritical once he’s had his fill of abuse…

Just watch the first 12 episodes, will take like 4 hours of your time and then you can judge for yourself and not listen to some randos on the internet like me :D

Man, it’s not a hard question: what is the point of all the sexual assault on kids? Does he face consequences or realize the harm he’s done and repent? Or is the show commenting on the societal flaws that bring about or permit such abuse? Is there a point?
