I was anticipating that when the Beast race tradition was explained, but I didn’t see any reaction from anyone implying that that outcome was one that held any water. I mean, the dog & cat girls would be the ones most likely to point that out or behave differently, you’d think. Maybe the female teacher with glasses who heavily disapproved of the whole thing might. But, I’m expecting that to be pointed out or addressed at some point.
Also I have been spoiled by comments in the manga releases
Yeah, one of the pages after a chapter warned on that and I realized that’s a bonus of using Tachiyomi over a website.
Rudy fucks around a LOT more than his dad did.
I’d have to see just how much his dad messed around before Rudy was born to have a baseline. But, it seems like it might have been a lot. Or he was just a flirt and only indulged fully in a handful of women (still weird that it sounds like he basically raped Lilia (the maid) early on…still curious what her angle really was in seducing him again.
Roxy is one of his wives.
Yaaayy~. I usually like harem series to end in an actual harem, but have found that to be exceedingly rare (maybe that’s changed with Isekai series?). This one is one I would have been fine if he didn’t, since that help him grow more as the person he wasn’t in his past life, as opposed to just being elaborate wish fulfillment with some caveats and extra steps (and actual effort).
At least, in this series, there are actual love rivals and other males that are just as worthy of attraction as the MC and many (most?) of the other attractive female characters go for them. It’s really refreshing.
Actually, Rudy seems to be getting waifus that have great ability, but are otherwise personally disadvantaged and neglected. Roxy and Sylphy are both flat chested and are quite lonely, despite being very cute and having some guys interested in them, and Eris is potentially chesty and beautiful and comes from nobility, but is really difficult to approach and has trouble actually being a decent person to others (without Rudy or someone else already close to her around). Basically, he’s not getting the girls that “literally everyone else in the world” wants and would kill and die to be with; he’s getting the gems that are left. They’re like the highly valuable pity picks. Lol

I might check that out, sometime. But, that seems like a fair assessment of this manga. It is always interesting to see the differences between versions or adaptations. I tried watching Classroom of the Elite and then switched to reading the manga when the season was finished. The main character is totally different. In the anime, he is pretty flat at the start, but later reveals how sociopathic and scary he is, to the point you can easily consider him to be a true villain (and maybe the worst of them all). In the manga, he seems like a normal “teenage” protagonist that just has some hidden ambition and some tricks up his sleeve, but is otherwise having to figure stuff out as he goes along, but then starts developing these darker traits in a “somehow” kind of manner. The anime is way more consistent and, I think, executes some of its arcs better, while the manga feels like it isn’t sure what it wants things to be, but is insisting its known all along (allegedly). This is weird, because both come from a LN, as well…
Damn, this turned into an effort post. Or an email.
