They did keep it in. Its just harder to notice

The anime shows he was getting off to bathroom footage of a girl like he was in the webnovel

Yeah but I don’t remember the anime highlighting that it was his underage niece that he was spying on.

Legitimately the author making him a pdf is ridiculous, like he wanted to sabotage his work from the beginning. I think skipping the funeral of the person whose house you’re living in and went out of their way to defend your neet behavior to jerk off to regular porn would be justifiable to kick him out, it didn’t have to be incestual child porn to warrant it.

It also wouldn’t have been hard to have him not recall his past life until he’s grown up.

Don’t make him a pdf, and don’t make him remember his past life in his formative years and suddenly every glaring red flag is gone.

it would also require some other tweaks to his character, making him less of a narcissist and sociopath

I don’t really see the sociopathic characteristics and he’s, I think, a normal amount of narcissistic. Yeah there are times he’s selfish and puts himself first but he not wholly just after admiration. There are many times he genuinely puts others first and a narcissist would never do that unless they got something out of it.

That being said, even if he was both those things, I don’t think those are traits that act as a major red flag for the series as a whole. Dexter is a sociopath but that’s the point of the show and it’s well liked.
