It's not though, especially not the 50th time they do it. Comedy is generally about subverting expectations but the expectation is that there will be awkward silences so it's just, well, awkward, instead of funny. And it's always the same. Like even with the painful cringe of watamote, we see main girl in that end up in a bunch of fundamentally different awkward situations and embarrass herself in all new ways and if watamote had the hype behind that Komi did I'd have been confused there as well.

So if we are to maintain the angle that we need to be disturbed by this, whats the author's angle? That they are trying to appeal to an audience of 70 year old men who want to sleep with teen girls?

I think older person reincarnating and getting young girls doesn't necessarily target the exact age of the older person.

I do think it's a somewhat interesting topic. Like, if an adult is isekai'd, is he basically just never going to get romance? That's probably how it'd actually work out. Even by the time you are 20 or so, you've got two lifetimes of wisdom and maturity so some 20 year old is probably going to be hard to form any real romantic connection with, but the hormones in your body are going to make you fairly disgusted by 70 year old women. You'd be in this shitty middleground where your physical and mental attraction are completely at odds.

I also think assassin isekai could easily have done without the romance, in fact, the romance all around was boring. It's like 3 girls going "i know you only view me as a tool and emotionally manipulated me into feeling total devotion to you, but I don't care because I'm totally devoted to you". And then he's just like "yeah". And thats it.
