People talk about the perversion of this show like it actually matters, dude its a fantasy get over it, you wanna know what I care about? The story, the character development, the pacing, the growth, which all are non existent, if the writers spent half as much time invested in actually making Rudy grow and learn as they did with world development and other characters maybe this show would actually be as good as people make it out to be, Mushoku Tensei is super overrated and it is likely because of how ecchi it is and because so many people relate to how much of ... a perverted pessimist Rudy is.

Everything about this anime would be so much better if it wasn't an isekai, Rudy's character makes more sense as a spoiled noble child, the deeper I dive into the anime the less sense his character makes. Why did Rudy bother sacrificing himself to save people in his past life if the author wasn't gonna have that carry over into his next life and influence him to some degree? Nothing Rudy does even helping people in his next life revolved around his actual desire to help people, Rudy is a complete psycho that only cares about personal gains and selfish ambitions(aka girls and sexy time). ... Rudy is very calculating and cold and it just doesn't fit with him being willing to die for complete strangers in his past life, his character contradicts himself. I get that Rudy does in fact help people along his life journey but in all honesty 99% of that is out of selfish gain, it just doesn't make sense how often Rudy is willing to look the other way yet in his previous life was completely compelled to move into action in order to save people, then we get to his next life and all traces of that are just... gone. As if it never even happened, his character is like a walking contradiction. He is selfish, self centered, VERY EGOTISTICAL, he is fake, shallow, his whole character feels pre programmed and just completely unadaptable as if he is just functioning on autopilot with no development whatsoever. He arguably got worse from his previous life because back then he had more excuses to be moping around living life on pity party lane since there was pretty much no going back for him at that point but here, I mean come on, new life, new footing, this guy died in his past life saving people but that just... completely whizzes over the stories head as if it wasn't even a big deal. Rudy obviously cares about people but then just goes about his next life as if that were never even a thing, stuff in this anime doesn't add up or seem realistic at all, I know its a fantasy but there still has to be some elements of realism as it pertains to human psychology and stuff.
