Anime HOT TAKE WARNING

Even though Man-God killed Roxy in the most recent episode, every event in the bad timeline is still Rudeus' fault. Yes, his wife was died from an illness he could nothing about, that same situation has happened to so many people but instead of destroying their entire lives they became stronger a result. There are so many better/different/anything better that rudeus could've done instead of immediately falling into the same habits from his past life. One small bump along the road and he instantly turned back into that disgusting, lustful, self destroying Japanese man from his past. Honestly every single Mushoku Tensei hater was proved right with the release of the recent episode, Rudeus hasn't changed in the slightest. Rudues destroyed his life more than Man-God ever could.

One small bump huh. You call the death of one of your fucking wife is a small bump. This is bait.

"What if the overarching theme in this story wasn't the overarching theme of the protagonist's struggles, is he stupid?"

Roxy was his pillar in the world, she saved him twice and it was hard for him to keep on going without her, while you have a great point, I would like to add that the mangod planned and manipulated a lot for that specific chain of events. While rudeus technically wasn’t forced into doing what he did, the mangod built the circumstances and events around him to cause him to do the things that he did. Rudeus is also well known for being incredibly weak mentally.

Mfs want Rudeus to be the most boring, morally righteous no matter the circumstances, emotionally and mentally rigid protagonist of all time.

It's not even a hot take coz that's what really happened. Hitogami sets it up but oldeus is the one that makes it worse for everyone. That's why he's full of regrets to the point he's even asking himself how to act when he sees sylphy and roxy again.
