There's a common misconception people usually have while watching this show:
"The main character is pedophile, a child groomer."
No shit Sherlocks, he is a human sack of shit. The majority of the people watching this show should know this by now, he's literally human trash within society however just because we like the show does not equate to agreeing with what he does, learn the difference.
Just because you like the character or anime doesn't mean you support their actions, Just because you like GTA or some villain doesn't mean you support murder and violence.
Another line of misconceptions: "The author is trying to normalize his pedophile behaviors"
No, he is not, the author has made it clear to the viewers. The story repeatedly demonstrates that he's genuinely human trash, the overreaction by the public however is rightful due to society's perception of pedophiles but it's frustrating how it's being put down simply because of the MC's characteristics.
Perhaps this is a hot take but the fact that he's human trash made the story all more interesting while watching with friends. I genuinely dislike the incest relationship between Rudy and Eris which led to my overwhelming support for Sylphy. Overall, the anime was executed amazingly, although some of the details were cut off from the manga and anime overall, the series was well delivered.
I know that pedophile is definitely an uncomfortable topic and if you're honestly very bothered about it, you don't need to force yourself but for the few that are trying to watch an anime with an "mc with correct morals" or "envision myself as the mc," you should genuinely never touch this anime.
