Should I watch Mushoku Tensei?

I've heard many mixed things about the show that id like to ask about, sorry if this is long. First off id like to know if Rudeus is actually a pedophile, and if he is does he improve as the story progresses?

I come from the rezero fandom (hopefully I won't be chased from here with pitchforks, I know how the state is on Twitter and such) but due to recent news I thought now would be the best time to watch the show

if you could cover those two points I made up there I'd really appreciate it :D
