The series was met with a large amount of controversy and backlash due to the revenge elements, particularly its sexual elements which have been called "revenge rape." My Anime List^[2] critics panned the show, focusing on technical elements beyond its controversial themes, with critics bemoaning the unoriginal story and poor animation.

On January 6th, 2019, prior to the anime's release, YouTuber TheAnimeMan described a graphic torture and rape scene from the manga in a video harshly criticizing the story (shown below, left). After the first episode aired, Chibi Reviewers asked how that could have happened, implying it was a Hentai series disguised as a normal anime. He claimed it was more extreme than Interspecies Reviewers, another anime that was controversial for its sexual themes.
