This show doesn't care about side characters, people may call it "sigma MC", but I say that it's bad writing.

Well, first ig I should make clear that Kenichi is an as*hole, I mean maybe he is too old but he really doesn't care about women or any relationship for that matter. I have met people like him irl and tbh they are not great human beings, I mean people like him vanish in the time of need, Kenichi helping and killing the bandits was very weird according to his overall character, and that's why I said that the writing is bad.

Also, the way he left everyone without saying a word was weird too, he left all the girls without saying a word or a measly letter, even didn't tell the granny that he is taking the kid away, but just bailed out. The anime also doesn't talk about them or show them, they are literally treated like NPCs in the story and are just there to make our MC shine.

I don't mind him ditching Primula, but the way he did that was way bad, she has romantic feelings for him, but for him atleast she was a friend, all I am saying is that he could write a letter to her, but no, she was treated like roadside trash, and this leads to my main point, if he thinks of Primula like that, it's super weird he went to help her from the bandits, the show made him do that because he is the "MC", not because he is "Kenichi".

Rest idk, he wants to live a slow life, but at the end his whole power is shopping of new age items, meaning that he will attract attention anyways and it's inevitable for him to hide for life, and this is not Spice and Wolf. I can see why the ratings are low, I mean if the story acknowledged that our MC is scum (like Mushoku or Konosuba), I would have liked the story more, but the writing devoid any type of feeling from the whole story.

He only agreed to help get rid of the bandits only because Primula life was in danger. Otherwise, I don't think he would have gotten involved. He knew what he was getting into ahead of time and still chose to do it. So I don't think that was a change of character.

Not saying goodbye was probably a better choice. Who knows what other factions were by then. I would assume the Anti Monarch faction were not the only ones that are investigating him by then. Anyone he said goodbye to could have brought in and tortured for information and even used as hostages if they thought they were close to him. I feel it was best he left without saying anything.

He claims he wants to live a slow life. He used power tools in the middle of a forest to clear out the land and build a cabin. The noise alone should have been alarming. Plus, being the only one living in the middle of monster infested forest should warrant a lot of attention. I'm surprised he wasn't found out earlier and captured. He was even lucky to find an honest trading company early on to sell his more extravagant goods. If he tried peddling them in a small booth, he would get him found out early also.
