Well reading the light novel Rudeus is mostly a heavy traumatized person that never got the needed therapy and due to that trauma is seeing everyone as enemies. The first like 12 books basically describe his struggles with his trauma and are pretty accurate to trauma healing in real life too. The other 16 are pretty great just for the magic world.
The anime has way to much fan service though and cut out a lot of necessary details - as always.

Yeah a lot of Rudeus’s character is explained by it being a coming-of-age story but instead of a child growing up it’s a manchild growing up.
