I hate Rudeus but I can't stop watching

But I think the show is just focusing on wrong things for way too long now. What I want to see is dragon god and human god beef, others from top 7 strongest people, laplace and the demon war, the reincarnated demon king in little girl and her backstory. But what I see is 15 episodes of Rudeus looking for his family after mana calamity and railing girls on the way. That too when we know nothing about the cause of mana calamity.

You gotta wait for answers. They aren't gonna answer everything in just one season. Things are building up and they'll slowly reveal stuff and u'll be able to piece things together with more information. Mushoku tensei's world building is one of the best and the story/plot is amazing. For now let's just say everything u mentioned will happen. You just have to wait for it.

Rudeus is a kid, speaking realistically adults aren't going to take him super seriously or introduce him to big lore drops. He's also immature, even his past consciousness is immature, and he seems to not really care about the background of the world thus far. As a novel reader there is a tonal shift coming at some point that increases the amount of lore on offer and might make you happy, although it's not in Season 2 omegalul.

Rudeus doesn't have a good character writing because he's actually good as a character. He has a good character writing because he has a really good character development, from bullied, desperate man, into young cheerful child, to down depressed teen. He's just a character you really can relate to at one point of your life. He won't be like Askelaad or Eren, he's just an ordinary pervert who tries to move on and start over from his miserable life before

I don't like how depraved and morally wrong his actions are. Everyone says this is a fantasy setting and whatnot but I will say this: I can be realistic according to the age of setting of the show, but it being realistic doesn't make it likeable, atleast for me.

Still I can't stop watching it because apart from rudeus, everything else is nice enough to keep me engaged.

I would have appreciated if we had more of that and less of what we are having now but I think that's just me and everyone is just enjoying everything considering how high it is rated.

Feel free to point out any bad points / fallacies in what I had to say. I would appreciate if everyone could attack my argument if you didn't like it rather than attacking me personally.

This show is not a Battle shounen, if this is what your expecting from the story I'll tell you right now you will be bitterly disappointed, it's mostly a SoL but with adventure and action here and there.

BassMax said:

So ultimately, if that's what I look for, I should just drop the anime?

dabdabgoose said:
Pretty much, it's definitely something different entirely as a whole, it has action and has adventure don't get me wrong, but it's not the majority of it, especially this season, last season and next season on the other hand are majority Adventure.

I like the drama but I don't really like any of the characters. So no matter what happens I don't care as long as I'm entertained.

Rudeus himself is probably my least favorite. I don't like him at all. But I think that's because he's not the type of character who should be relatable. At least not completely. If you think you unironically relate to him, you should seek help.

Rudeus was never meant to be good person in the first place. He literally masterbated during his parents' funeral watching loli porn.

It's a story about a bad person turning good and that haven't happened yet.

It's really not. It's about a tragic character getting a second chance at life, and you're not supposed to take the loli shit literally, it's just fanservice. 

Eifue said:
It's funny how some viewers who are this far into the series are still hyperfixated on one detail that doesn't really relate to the rest of the series. Like wtf the train for that conversation is long gone in season 2 now.

BassMax said:

Can't argue with that. The guy is just getting kicked down just when he stands back up.

LostSpectre said:
Well, there's this common misconception that Rudy is an objectively bad person that you're supposed to hate, and him doing "pedo stuff" is apparently supposed to have narrative significance by way of reinforcing this. Except, that's pretty much nonsense. There's lolicon content because the author wanted to include elements from eroge games, and all of those scenes are basically comedic or fanservice related, they're not meant to be taken seriously, so using them as evidence that he's human scum, is just stupid. It's also idiotic how many people view him as a "50 year old man" as if he doesn't currently possess a child's brain, and like he wasn't highly emotionally stunted to begin with. The story is not about his redemption at all, it's about his salvation, but life isn't easy, he'll have to face the sort of hardships that he hid himself away from in his past life.
