And now, a word from our sponsors.

I got inspired and hyperfocused for several hours on this

I might not continue working on this

I don't think I want to make a war-themed game

Too real

I have friends in places that are at war right now

I wish everyone a very nice I know we live in shitty times, but remember better days always come, just make sure to treat yourself a little every day, no matter how small. It might just give you a little bit of joy to help you get through these times.

Be safe out there, you deserve happiness both big and small ❤️

I finished Mushoku Tensei season 1

I have things to say

As an addendum, turns out the first time I watched, I actually didn't finish it; it seems there were only 13 or so episodes at the time so I hadn't actually finished it before, I just thought that was that.

I'll just say everything people talk about it is true. The worldbuilding and story are fantastic and the animation is amazing. And the main character is a piece of shit and it's hard to feel empathy for someone so disgusting.

He's genuinely trying and I won't say I didn't feel bad for him sometimes, but I don't think he deserves my sympathy. He crosses a line beyond how much stereotypical perverted anime protagonist I can tolerate.

I guess what I mean is, I want to like him, but man, I just want to beat him up every time he harasses someone in the show. Does everything he does to help others and make them happy make up for the gross shit he also does sometimes?

I don't know, I'm having as much of a hard time hating him as I have liking him. Maybe the problem is me and I'm hyperfixating too much on this single character flaw. I get what the story is trying to say, but uuuurgh

I hate to feel conflicted about this because its otherwise a great anime. I just wish I could enjoy it without the caveat of having to tolerate a piece of shit protagonist. But I guess this is why I prefer trusting my own instincts instead of what other people say about anime. I wish I never had watched it in the first place.

8/10. I don't know if I will watch the second season. I need to bleach my mind for now.

Here's my trial of Rudeus: He never outright assaults anyone in the show and he stops whenever the girls get (rightfully) upset or angry. But he still attempts it, shows no remorse and no interest in changing it, and as far as this 23 episode saga there's no indication he'll ever change or get any real punishment for it.

Maybe my judgement is just clouded by the fact I want to enjoy this anime, and I'm just being gaslit by the story into thinking he's actually worth my sympathy

What am I thinking
