"She even goes on about how she can never see Paul and Lilia the same ever again, almost destroying their trust and relationship entirely because of her faith in her religion. It stays sexual throughout but dies down by ep 5 since rudeus left and Eris is too busy kicking the shit out of him.”
Looks like you didn’t even properly watch the show! I just finished it and I clearly remember Paul facing no real consequences after his actions. Like from the interaction that was shown when Rudeus thought back to how his family and Sylphie were doing, Zenith was literally calling Paul “anata” and expressing the same affection to him that she did beforehand. But that’s not even the most upsetting thing about Paul’s character, he openly admits to raping his former party members but the story sweeps it off by basically saying "hehe what a naughty womanizer! boys will be boys!". Also, the focus literally shifted from that to Rudeus(who we must remember is mentally in his 40s) molesting his 10 year old cousin. Sure maybe the main plot is meant to be different but we can’t watch the main plot without seeing Rudeus acting problematically every 10 seconds! Not to mention, so many of these scenes were completely unnecessary and add nothing to the plot. I’ve seen so many other ecchi that implement sexuality and perverseness so much better than this show, which is a shame, I liked the animation, design, and the world building of this show, so it sucks that these rapey elements existed for no other reason than some sort of strange fan service because it diluted the personalities of so many characters and often made the show less relatable.
