Early response to Rudeus was primarily negative due to his perverted nature to the point the original writer noted that such was the point of his characterization. [25] [26] However, his relationship with his mentor and his father Paul were praised for bringing the narrative hidden depths. [27] [28] Roxy became a break out character in her own series which was praised by Otaku USA for being accessible but hoped to further develop her in future volumes. [29] Comic Book Resources said that Mushoku Tensei is enjoyable thanks to the large amount of characters. [30] TwinInfinite listed Roxy as one of the best teachers in anime. [31] In a manga review from the early arcs, Akiba Station noted that while Rudeus gets into less fights, he is contrasted by the parallel adventures of Roxy. [32] Roxy' figurine that Rudeus creates in the series was popular enough to get its own replica in real life. [33]

Isekai is a genre of Asian stories. It includes novels, light novels, films, manga, anime, and video games that revolve around a displaced person or people who are transported to and have to survive in another world such as a fantasy world, game world, or parallel universe with or without the possibility of returning to their original world. Isekai is one of the most popular genres of anime, and isekai stories share many common tropes – for example, a powerful protagonist who is able to beat most people in the other world by fighting. This plot device typically allows the audience to learn about the new world at the same pace as the protagonist over the course of their quest or lifetime. If the main characters are transported to a game-like world, the genre can overlap with LitRPG.
