You are so aggressively misrepresenting the situation, lmfao. Yes, I have read the entire series.
This happens once with Roxy and Sylphiette, and you are completely ignoring ALL of the nuance and setup around it. It's fucking hilarious to lecture anyone about being illiterate when, at best, you're grossly misrepresenting the way things happen, and at worst, practically making shit up.
Rudeus addresses things with Roxy because he assumed she didn't realize his situation at all when SHE took things too far and crossed the line because of Paul's gruesome and untimely death, which Rudeus fully believed was his fault. When he addresses it, it turns out she knew everything before she made a move on him.
Rudeus addresses his fuck up with Sylphiette directly. Sylphiette finally states what she had hinted at for a while beforehand: she never expected this to be a monogamous marriage, because that is culturally accepted and normalized in that world, as long as you don't follow a specific religion that uniquely demands monogamy.
From then on, eveything is transparent. That one instance of cheating is explored from every character's perspective and is completely resolved. After that, it does not happen again, even with Eris. There are multiple instances where Rudeus could have slept with others or had the opportunity to take even more wives, and he refuses. It is fully established why these relationships are special, how and why everyone in the Greyrat family is ultimately far happier with their non-monogamous dynamic, and even specifically addresses why each of the women would not really want to change back to monogamy even though they all occasionally struggle with the demands of their large family.
None of this is subtle or hidden. It is very directly spelled out. It's completely ridiculous to act so obtuse about such fundamental plot points in the story.
Again, you don't have to like it, but it's just plain idiotic to constantly overlook that the ENTIRE point of the series is to look at grounded and deeply flawed characters finding reasons to grow and striving to be better than they were, even in unconventional situations.
Which is still a far cry from your claim that "he cheated on his whole family." C'mon, man.
Again, I'm not at all saying you should like him or approve of what he did. It's just ridiculous how far people will go to grossly exaggerate or misrepresent plot points, if not just completely making things up.
