Mushoku Tensei is in the crosshairs of many because a lot of people attack the main character for being total garbage.
I don't know how you have a story about a terrible person becoming better without having a terrible person at the beginning...
I read the LN, and in like the first chapter the MC says something like "What's wrong with skipping your parents funeral to fap to poli lorn?" and at that point it's like "ok, this guy isn't a good guy", and the story is in part a redemption arc, this terrible ugly bastard of a hentai protaganist learning to stop being a terrible person.
The sort of people who are attacking this are responsible for every TV show in the west looking like a Christian film. The good people are insanely good at all times, the evil people are always insanely evil at all times, and there's no character movement, just preaching at the audience. And it's totally insufferable.
What's really neat about the series is that characters change and grow for real. Many of the people who appear to be one thing over time and experiences become much different people. You can't really predict who the characters become over time since their stories are stories and not archetypes.
