So since the new season is coming soon I've rewatched the anime and, well, seriously what the fuck is Paul's problem?

Let me start off with this, I have not read the WN or LN so perhaps he gets better later on, and due to spoilers I also know what happens to him. But I want to know from people who either read ahead or are anime only like me, isn't he like legitimate a shit dad and person?

First off, cheated on his wife who constantly kept up with his lust and on-screen tended to shower him with love.

Second off, he is established as having raped Lilia (granted that was before meeting Zenith) but uhhh it's still kinda bad due to...y'know, being rape? Bonus, she was the one he cheated with later on.

Third....wow, imagine being upset about the fact that your son is still alive and doing well after a really dangerous event. NOW TO BE FAIR, he had no idea of the details and what exactly happened, meaning he couldn't see all the shit that happened during Rudy', Eris's and Superd's journey but...this fucking dude...after being depressed for so long and worried that his whole family might be dead...has the fucking audacity to get mad that his son is still alive and happy?

None of the characters are perfect (which is a good thing) but oh my god I hate Paul's flaws so much, when does he become interesting or at least not such a piece of shit?

Haven’t read ahead, just an anime fan, but yeah Paul straight up sucks. The kinda character you love to hate, but that’s also the point of the character. You can make an argument against any character in this series, except probably Sylphie.

well, let's not forget that it's lilia who was responsible for the cheating event. she was the one who baited paul by bathing with open doors. she clearly admitted that. but he still took her as a second wife, and zenith aknowledged that.

and in paul's defense for being a lusty monster. he was that way before meeting zenith. he would just fuck about anybody. he even fucked his party members (elinalise, ghislaine, lilia and zenith before marring her) also, he never raped anyone, he has some morals at least. zenith married him knowing full well about his lust for women.


and the main dish, is his expectations of rudeus. Paul has suffered despair for (iirc) a whole year trying to find his lost family. he couldn't find any clue about none of them. rudy was keeping himself undercover in the demon continent, lilia and aisha were imprisoned by that fatso prince, and zenith... you'll know soon enough.

but even still, he did everything he could to find. he even started a search party for every lost person just for the sake of information. he lowered his head to his wife's family that loathed him. but without any use. but a big part of him believed that rudeus would also be searching. because for paul, redus is not just a child, he practically an adult, he views him as one. that's why he believed that his son wouldn't be hanging around all butterflies and shit. so when rudy told him about the happy time he had in the demon continent, paul lost his composure and believed only in what rudy told him forgetting obvious facts.
he snapped at him.

Paul was shit person, yes. but he still holds his family dear to him. he would go through hell and beyond for them. and you'll soon see that.

No in the LN Lilia claims that when they were friends at school when they were younger “she didn’t dislike him” but he had “forced himself on her”

I don’t hate Paul but I’m glad Rudy gave him the one-two at their reunion. Totally ridiculous to get upset at Rudy for wanting to share his accomplishments with his Dad.

(anime only watcher) everything else your right on except with him and rudeus, he wasn't mad about the fact that he was alive and doing good, it's was the fact that to him rudeus is a mature enough that he thought that rudeus would know to try and find everyone else but when rudeus was only talking about him having a good time at the demon capital and making friends, he saw it as rudeus not doing anything/not caring about everyone else because he didn't have all the info (Paul still isn't a good guy but didn't want you to think he was just mad that his son was doing better than him)

I've read the LN. The thing that made me think the book is much superior to the anime (I recommend everyone read it) is that it develops a whole new sight about the opinion and thinking of the side characters (such as Paul and Lilia in the 1st book). Not forgoving him for the rape or cheating, but it brings to the reader all the context of what he was thinking, for exemple, when he meeted with Rudeus after the incident (All the emocional charge, etc...). Also, after reading the rest of the novels, not just him, but all the other characters became much more human and likeable, which is why it became my favorite series of books.

I would've had a bigger issue with him if he was still around. after what happened right after, he's a dead character as far as I'm concerned. he didn't help in the operation to save his daughter and just seems to complain more than anything else. it looks like by the time he actually does something in the story he'll be made irrelevant by Rudy

You are not supposed to relate to him if that's what you are wondering. You should also absolutely not put him the same standards as real life people, because as an fictional character, hexid just a vessel used to tell a story.
He is a flawed individual with his own problems end insecurities, which is a good thing.

I completely agree with the fact that Paul is a horrible person. It's been awhile since I have seen the anime but I recently read the first 2 volumes of the LN and it rekindled my hatred for Paul. I hate him so much, he is a horrible human being, but even though he is a bad father, I realize that he is at least trying his best at being a good dad. Paul is in no way a good father but after reading volume 1 I realized that he is trying his best, and it's not easy to learn how to be a good dad when your child is a reincarnated 34 year old man who can pretty much take care of himself and has the common sense of a fully grown adult.

TLDR: Paul is a shit person and I hate him, but he is trying his best at being a dad

Rape? Thats from the LN. Might as well be showing your whole hand with that card drop. Also, you've completely missed the mark on your 3rd point. Reads like you skipped episode 17.

You also seem to be projecting pretty hard. Almost like you're offended or fatherless or something.

honestly every character being flawed is one of the big reasons the show is good, rudeus is pretty flawed too, I'm still pissed at him for switching up on sulphur like that but it's cool now cause they'll reunite soon probably(don't get me wrong I rly like eris too and do feel for her)

Well, you having a conniption over being called out for shit take of literally being upset over fictional character's actions tells me everything I need to know. Just like expecting anyone to care.
Seems like the good old "don't like it, don't watch it" advice is applicable here, because you clearly are not mature enought to see a fictional character displaying those kind of realistic flaws and do not understand how character development works.

I'm not "anti lolicon", just putting you to your own standards, hypocrite.
You seem to be upset over a character displaying flaws and making mistakes, but then acknowledging them and deciding to be better, but apparently if a character displays reprehensible behavior, doesn't decide to improve themselves, is rewarded for it and everything is played for laughs, then everything is cool and dandy?

So, you are either a hypocrite or just can't comprehend the writing more complex than Peppa Pig?

First off, cheated on his wife who constantly kept up with his lust and on-screen tended to shower him with love.

Second off, he is established as having raped Lilia (granted that was before meeting Zenith) but uhhh it's still kinda bad due to...y'know, being rape? Bonus, she was the one he cheated with later on.

Third....wow, imagine being upset about the fact that your son is still alive and doing well after a really dangerous event. NOW TO BE FAIR, he had no idea of the details and what exactly happened, meaning he couldn't see all the shit that happened during Rudy', Eris's and Superd's journey but...this fucking dude...after being depressed for so long and worried that his whole family might be dead...has the fucking audacity to get mad that his son is still alive and happy?

None of the characters are perfect (which is a good thing) but oh my god I hate Paul's flaws so much, when does he become interesting or at least not such a piece of shit?

well about cheating his wife it's more or less the Greyrat trait and every male member seems to have it (dunno about Luke) and secondly as a LN reader I am telling you if anime doesn't skip contents than people will know about his actions. And the reunion incident let's conclude that he was too drunk and depressed about losing his wife and daughters, he basically never particularly thought Rudi only as his son but more or less as a partner in crime so in short he unconsciously thought that he would return home and moreover Rudeus was with Gyslaine, further he didn't actually saw Rudeus teleporting rather he saw his other family members being disappearing so I think it's normal to be more concerned about them.

But the rest is true he was failure as a father

This coming from the guy that has Endevour in his favorites. Just thought I'd mention that.
Anyway, he forced himself on Lilia when they were 12 and in that day and age he probably was taught to do that since men (especially in his family) were all pretty much rapists in medieval times and I feel like he has learned that that wasn't a proper thing to do since he never did again and chose to abandon his family. Him feeling disappointed for seeing Rudeus happy was adressed in the show and is part of his character development. He admits he was in the wrong, apologizes and grows as a person. He also fixed his lust problem since he abstained from sex until he found his wife, showing the self control and respect for his wife he was able to achieve. Did it take a lot of borderline unforgivable mistakes to get there, yes. But if u can apriciate Endevour's character after what he's done, you should be able to apreciate Paul as a really well written and engaging character as well.

Anyway, he forced himself on Lilia when they were 12 and in that day and age he probably was taught to do that since men (especially in his family) were all pretty much rapists in medieval times and I feel like he has learned that that wasn't a proper thing to do since he never did again and chose to abandon his family. Him feeling disappointed for seeing Rudeus happy was adressed in the show and is part of his character development. He admits he was in the wrong, apologizes and grows as a person. He also fixed his lust problem since he abstained from sex until he found his wife, showing the self control and respect for his wife he was able to achieve. Did it take a lot of borderline unforgivable mistakes to get there, yes. But if u can apriciate Endevour's character after what he's done, you should be able to apreciate Paul as a really well written and engaging character as well.

Actually, it was even mentioned in the anime, that he did not really raped her, but "forced himself on her", which means he was hitting on her until she consented. Even then she was glad it happened, because the alternative would be to inevitably lose virginity to one of the Ugly Bastards from nobility. She also doesn't seem to mind the presence of her supposed "abuser" and even seduced him later on.
This is all covered in the anime, so complaining about it is ludicrous.

you clearly are not mature enought to see a fictional character displaying those kind of realistic flaws and do not understand how character development works

Imagine that this even needs to be said nowadays:
You sound really mocking. If you didn't, you probably wouldn't be met with hostility. Not that the other person is any less toxic.

I didn't threw the first rock. Just showing as much respect as I receive.

I thought Paul raping Lillia was a mistranslation?

No in the LN Lilia claims that when they were friends at school when they were younger “she didn’t dislike him” but he had “forced himself on her”

That could mean something totally different. So kinda vague there and I don’t remember that even being implied in the show but that’s just me.
