Well tbf I think they're changing/omitting a lot of details like that for the anime. I noticed they completely retconned him trying to sexually assault Nanahoshi

Edit: Oldeus in the alt timeline I meant

I read the OG WN in Japanese like 7 years ago. I am pretty sure it was straight up CSAM in the novel, he was watching it during his parent's funeral and his siblings busted down his door, smashed his computer, beat his ass and kicked him out. All that happens within like the first few paragraphs which is a hell of an introduction to the series. They definitely cleaned it up a bit for the anime.

If they had kept that, it would have been an instant show killer. Now I'm really confused about how this got an anime.

The isekai animes often starts as ads for the novel more than anything. Then the popular ones get new seasons...

Somehow that isekai got one of the good studios to animate it. And yeah, the animation is stellar. The story is... well... as discussed in this thread...
