At first I dropped Mushoku Tensei in season 1 because I can't bear with the lewd anymore and I was very judgy with the behaviours of Rudeus. But then... I decided to give it another go because I heard the plot is good later on and there are decent character development. Hey, that was a wrong decision. The lewd continues consistently (2-3 times every episode) and the plot development sometimes also revolves around lewd (wth??). For example, Rudeus was captured in the dungeon and then the second prince come to save him because he appreciates the 'masterpiece' lewd sculpture of the magic sensei which Rudeus created. That's some horrible plot development which a primary school boy would think of on the pot. Aside from this, the plot in Mushoku Tensei is nothing but boring and dull. The travelling around villages and beating up trafficker part could have been more thrilling, however, it was created in a very boring way and the plot development was very much within audience's expectation (e.g. the part where he got captured and saved the village). The only interesting plot which I can at least sympathise with was the part which he met his father again. It is interesting that a small detail, the fact that Rudeus speaks about his experience after the disaster as if its a 'fun school trip' triggered the father demonstrates how fragile the family can be, as well as the strength of family bond when they resolved their grunt through simply understanding and hugging each other. That was a small part that was good (even though I still got bored from time to time due to the slow story pacing). As a summary, it's not the lewd that made me drop the anime, it is the boring plot and meaningless plot development which ruined it. I do hope Mushoku tensei have better story later on and if it does, I would consider picking it up again
