Editor's note

We cover Mushoku Tensei III weekly, the morning after each episode airs in Japan. The reactions have a rhythm by now: the more wholesome the episode, the more nervous Japanese fans get — “it's been too wholesome lately, and that scares me.” And when the “Rudeus is too creepy” backlash made the rounds on Japanese social media, the fandom's answer was characteristically blunt: then just don't watch it.
