The past 2 seasons forgot about the fantasy and magic bits of the series to revolve around the sexual life of our main character.
Don't get me wrong, his hardships about his trauma (Too much with importance and gags of the ED, but its ok), past life, his family and sisters are amazing and feels deep, but that's it.
Sylphie suddenly became like a "perfect housewife", she does ALL the fcking chores just because Rudy is "busy". But let's remember that she has a LITERAL JOB outside the classes, while he's just researching something along some colleages, so actually he doesn't do much. The perfect life if you forget about your wife's life and emotions, and thats how Sylphie evolved to, to a lifeless, emotionless girl who just smile and cares for his husband while he away doing other shits instead of helping (everyone wants a lovely wife without involving too much of your life on it huh?)
And that's just Syphie. Every single other women on this season becomes like an object. Useless, helpless girls that needs a man to give a meaning to their lives.
__Now, Major Spoilers:

The little sisters: Ok I love them. The dynamic they have with the MC is amazing, and the "hikikomori" part again feels deep and hard. I loved how it went, that's why I feel more frustrated with how everything goes, because after all of that battle, suddenly everything goes perfectly for Rudy. His sisters are still a mess, because they are just children, but for whatever reason they are able to forget and forgive Rudy easily. But the two have a toxic relationship between sisters, and for whatever reason it doesn't matter (I still hope we see something about it later on). So, those two pre-teens are acting somewhat like adults in some forms, or like background characters. C'mon, it isn't normal for a child to work the house, and most when the husband doesn't even help! School isn't just about learning the books! It gives experiences and let's us develop as grown adults. But I guess that's something a grown adult realizes.
Anyway, at this point Sylphie and her life with the siblings doesn't matter and became part of the background, the housewife that provides support, maintains the house, care for the siblings... and doesn't show any emotion outside happines... No sadness, no angriness...nothing, like the other women in Rudeus life tbh.
But it doesn't matter, because she already fulfilled her role by doing so as she was used for Rudy development, same with the sisters. So now it's turn for the God to appear (I love him, best part of the series).
Going short on this part: Everything goes fine (apart from Rudy literally abandoning his pregnant wife for a couple of months but yeah, it makes sense and he can be forgiven) till Roxy appears. What the heck happened here. Roxy was an adult that were struggling with adult's life, but suddenly she acts as she looks: like a literal child and it doesn't make anysense...
Roxy, the master of Rudeus, his teacher, the adult woman that helped raise and teach him the way of life, helped him overcome his agoraphobia and educated him on the ways of magic, suddenly acts like a pre-teen in love with someone older than her...? What? Why? I'll tell you why.
It's because of Male Power Fantasy. And that's it.
You've seen that in other anime like, "suddenly owning female sexy slaves is morally good (keep in mind the word "Owning", not "Freeing")" and things like that. This time, the sexual fantasy is both common in japan: I like my teacher and I like that child.
So yeah, it's just preparing the terrain so Roxy just straight out fucks our Main Character. It was kinda ok with Sylphie... don't get me wrong, it feels weird because our MC have +34 years old as age isn't only about body and looks, but about personal experiences and state of life. Rudeus was never a child, because he already was older, that's why his mind was like that of a genius.
So now, after our adult MC married a child-looking teenager, we have a pre-teen looking and acting child in love with him.
Everything is wrong with that. We literally see a child acting unholy with the MC in a bed, the kiss, everything, but is wrong for both of them! Pedo x Pedo relationship! I'm kinda fine with Elinalise because an Elf has a long lifetime so blah blah blah, but is still an adult with a teen.
So yeah... At this point, every single relationship we see is pedo nourishment. Even Badigadi is going out with a 4 yo looking girl. At least that's not sexual... but c'mon... This is wild...
Anyway, this season looked good, like the first half of the second act about to finish, but suddenly is about sex, and bad written romance, and infidelity... idk but i felt like the main issue about saving Rudeus mother isn't as important.
And what was that about "your mom was ok with infidelity at the end, so your wife will be ok too"? Guys, that's not how relationships works, ok? Every human being has different oppinions and feelings on the same issue. Zenith were ok with Lillia because both girls were close already, but not this time!
This hurts me the most, because I was in love with this series. From the first episode of the first season, I read the manga, and were expecting more...but yeah, magic isn't as important as before, the world seems empty, every character suddenly went stupid and useless, except the guys of course, who suddenly went full throttle to be cool.
I don't know much about the author, but someone should check their hard drive and internet browser.
