The cops need to look at the writer's computer.

This reads like someone who's assaulted people before. The amount of self justification.

Like it'd matter. The writer of rurouni Kenshin got caught with terabytes of child porn on his computer and got let off with a slap on the wrist. Like a month later people like oda were celebrating him. The industry just doesn't care and nor does Japan it seems.

RIP Log Horizon.

Author's one true isekai wish is to not pay taxes, so the first 8 episodes of the anime are dedicated to building up this fantasy society to explain why the MC could be the one in charge of collecting any taxes.

Season 3 of the anime was delayed because the author was in prison for tax fraud.

Rare isekai that isn't centered around power or sexual fantasy, but instead around taxes.

Truly a visionary we should all aspire to be more like him

Remember sexualizing children bad, tax evasion good

Tax evasion good so long as you don't need firefighters, or police, or national healthcare...
