I find it interesting that comments here talk about the early arcs being boring and bad
(the magical apocalypse that scattered his family all over the world and the journey of survival to return)
, yet praising what feels like a long and pointless filler arc where
the MC abandons his mother to a likely Goblin Slayer episode 1 fate because getting his junior big and wet from school girl juices is far more important.
Because his missing family told him to play around......when they ask him for help he doesn't hesiatate. His father also purposely left out details of his wife's situation to not worry him. It's honestly phrased in a way that makes it sound like he had it under control (paul is technically stronger than rudeus).
