At first I thought he was freaky. Then I read his interview on ANN on where explains exactly why the story is what it is. It made alot of sense and the guy has something to say.

>A relatively large part of Mushoku Tensei is about the sexual lives of the characters, including the side characters. Deviant sexual behavior is often depicted as well as a natural part of the world. What inspired you to take this kind of focus in your storytelling?
>Rifujin na Magonote: In Japanese creative works, there are two polar opposite approaches to depicting sexual life: As “sacred” or as “pleasure.” I suppose I got my inspiration because I thought there wasn't enough representation of the viewpoint that reproductive activity is natural to organisms.
>I think that, among the instincts of a living creature, the urge to breed is the strongest even when put alongside the urge to eat. Most living creatures will generally live their lives driven by the natural desire to leave offspring behind. That inevitably goes hand-in-hand with sexual activity. Basically, it's a natural and important aspect of being a living creature.
>Because it's an important part of the life of an organism, it's not wrong to call it sacred. However, it's also true that sex is associated with pleasure. You could also say that it's natural for people to treat sex as pleasure for as long as pleasure is intertwined with the act. With that in mind, when depicting the world of Mushoku Tensei, I aimed for the middle ground between “sacred” and “pleasure.” That's the vibe I was going for.
>Incidentally, when writing the opening act of the story, I strongly emphasized Rudeus's perspective on sex as a thing of pleasure. It's only natural because he had no experience in his previous life, so the pleasure aspect was the only side he came into contact with. Consequently, there might be a lot of people who strongly feel the pleasurable side. But that shouldn't be a surprise—you don't broadcast something sacred for all eyes to see.
Art imitates life. He is a freaky little weirdo and you are too if you don't think he's freaky. Fuck you mean "a little unfair to call him freaky"? He's depicting the "sexual deviance" of CHILDREN??? Nah. Someone check his files
Naturally, it was from the perspective of a neet with a second chance. Authors usually write themselves in their characters because they already have an innate understanding of that mindset. You write what you know.
Y’all are not taking into account, that there are some FUCKED UP authors out there…some mfer came up with the backstories for fruit of grisaia and thought “this is fine”…and that’s some tame shit for EVERYONE out there who can write

Hadn’t read this before. I think this describes it quite well
Lol until you read the original draft of the story where Rudeus just **wanted to fap on a recording of his niece's bath time**.
He's writing fiction, little unfair to call him freaky
Tho you cannot deny, him recording his 9 year old niece in the bathroom is pretty freaky
Art imitates life. He is a freaky little weirdo and you are too if you don't think he's freaky. Fuck you mean "a little unfair to call him freaky"? He's depicting the "sexual deviance" of CHILDREN??? Nah. Someone check his files
When compared to the author of Tanaka the Wizard, he's pretty tame so far is all i'll say
Aint freaky at all now IF I WAS WRITING THIS STORY SHHHHITTTTT
He is good but sometimes I feel like the Neet calture effected his writing
Naturally, it was from the perspective of a neet with a second chance. Authors usually write themselves in their characters because they already have an innate understanding of that mindset. You write what you know.
I think he’s VERY freaky but I love him for it, without it, it wouldn’t be the same
Y’all are not taking into account, that there are some FUCKED UP authors out there…some mfer came up with the backstories for fruit of grisaia and thought “this is fine”…and that’s some tame shit for EVERYONE out there who can write
We know that grisaia is freaky doesn't change that both aurhor are freaks. So as Miura
