Reception

Early response to the Mushoku Tensei characters was primarily negative due to Rudeus' perverted nature to the point the original writer noted that such was the point of his characterization.[21][22] However, his relationship with his mentor and his father Paul were praised for bringing the narrative hidden depths.[23][24] 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.[25] Comic Book Resources said that Mushoku Tensei is enjoyable thanks to the large amount of characters.[26] TwinInfinite listed Roxy as one of the best teachers in anime.[27] 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.[28]

Roxy' figurine that Rudeus creates in the series was popular enough to get its own replica in real life.[29] One of the web novel short after-stories, titled The Moment Aisha Greyrat Stopped Being a Maid, sparked a lot of controversy among its Japanese readers. In response, the author had initially planned to make some revisions, but figured it would not be good enough, and after receiving a notice from Shōsetsuka ni Narō management that it violated their terms of service, on February 24, 2016, the author announced that he had decided to scrap the short story altogether and would write a remake in the future.[30]
