He's a pedophile. In the anime, it's a blink and you miss it moment, but the second episode shows him getting caught jerking off to kid porn while he misses his parents funeral, and that directly corresponds to him being thrown out of the house so violently and why he was suicidal.
In the novel it was originally that he was watching hidden video porn he made of his niece, but the author thought that was too far, and it was later edited to generic kiddie porn.
That said, the entire story is that he goes from the lowest of the low with zero redeeming features, to eventually become a much better person.
Did some digging and best I can find is that was true in the webnovel but not the light novel which is what the anime is based on so he was not a pedophile in the modern incarnation, it was changed to just regular porn. The scene in anime shows a leg of someone in a bathroom.
This happens a lot with Webnovels being more raw and eye-catching but then being more refined when a light novel is made. Look at Overlord and the difference in Webnovel and Light Novel in Arche
