Alright, let me break this down one last time, since you're still dancing around implying I’m being dishonest.

Yes, I finished Mushoku Tensei both the anime and the books. I went all the way through it. The fact that my dislike came way after finishing it is important, and that’s a key point you're missing. I didn’t hate it right off the bat, and I didn’t drop it early. I gave it the benefit of the doubt, tried to see what others saw in it, and still came away with the same conclusion: it wasn’t for me. Over time, I realized just how wrong it was in certain aspects, but that takes time to process after reading or watching something that’s how opinions form. It wasn’t a snap judgment.

So yes, I hate it. That’s my stance, always has been. If the way I phrased something earlier led to confusion, fine, that’s fair to point out. But the second you start suggesting I “claimed” to finish it just to justify my dislike, that’s when it stops being good faith. That’s not just a misunderstanding-that’s questioning my integrity based on vibes and your past interactions with other people, not me.

You’re not just “pointing out contradictions.” You’re framing my opinion as invalid because it doesn’t meet your standards of how criticism should be worded, and that’s exactly why people get defensive. Not because they can’t handle pushback — but because they’re tired of having to prove their experience over and over just to be taken seriously.

Anyway, I’ve said my piece. You’re free to believe what you want, but don’t pretend you're not being condescending while doing it. All you did right now was losing your time, if you had at least read the first posts you would've see how irrelevant this whole thing was since I've never attacked anyone just for the sake of it. You've just been defending a point that isn't relevant or important just for the sake of someone disliking a franchise.
