I expected a mature romance with a suave protagonist, and instead I got this perverted romcom

Are you kidding me? This show was actually an ecchi romcom with a slapstick, goofy pervert protagonist? And the women aren't realistic either? They're all cutesy and feminine, as if written by some incel who has never touched a woman in his life. Where are my realisitc depictions of women?
And seriously, what the hell is up with Kazuya? He's such a virgin. Where is the mature, confident protagonist who woos and fucks women on the first date?

This show really misleads you. It's no wonder it has such a low rating. Japan can't help but make immature bullshit, can they? We all expected realistic and mature dating show that caters to our superior, refined western tastes. Not this baby garbage. But this is the best we can get.

Expectations, folks, they are everything. Do yourself a favor and don't expect anything from watching shows, playing video games, reading books or manga, or anything similar.
This way, if you come upon a masterpiece, you'll be pleasantly surprised, and if you come across a flop, you won't be depressed, it's a win-win situation.
To reply to your dismay, I understand if you're unfulfilled, but where did your expectations come from before seeing Rent a Girlfriend? This is the first time I've seen someone expect this to be a mature romantic anime, unfortunately, you're culpable for this, anyone who follows anime is aware this is far from mature romantic comedy.
Next time, keep your expectations in check and watch the right shows to steer clear of being disappointed.
Remember what Master Oogway told us:

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

This post is a few too many layers deep in sarcasm for me to truly grasp it

In the meantime I gotta say I'm also team Nezuko
Nino is the objectively superior one, don't @ me

I expected a romcom with a pervert of a protagonist with tons of sexual innuendos, but instead got a show that can sometimes dive into serious and depressing matters. I guess things never live up to expectations. Seriously though, I thought this would’ve been a lighthearted non-realistic take on prostitution, I was mistaken.

Call my thread low quality bait -- to be frank I do regret just how little effort I put into my OP -- but what I wrote might as well be the criticism that people give. Like, wtf did people expect from this show? The show is a romcom and people act like it's trash because... why? Because... because, uhh Kazuya is a loser and uhhh... how dare he lie to his grandma... oh man it's just too immoral and degenerate!

I stopped bothering to keep up with anime in 2019-ish, but I'd like to get back into anime. I don't care for seasonal hype trains though. I watched Rent a Girlfriend now because I wanted a romcom, and it delivered. As far as I can tell, people jumped on a hate train and Rent a GF happened to be the anime selected for the "Two Minutes Hate".

Meanwhile, on another note, I watched My Dress Up Darling not long ago and, holy shit, that anime was boring af and Gojou is a lame, bland protagonist. Yet, that anime is beloved, and this anime is hated. Both are romcoms, but My Dress Up Darling is unoffensive and boring as shit, while Rent a Girlfriend (Season 1) is entertaining, has decent comedy, and a cliffhanger nearly every episode. What makes Rent a Girlfriend shit, but My Dress Up an 8.3/10, I wonder?

I will add the disclaimer that I haven't seen season 2 yet. It's on my to-do list. But season 1 is a decent romcom.
