ANIME SPOILER... MAYBE: just a small theory i thought of regarding the greyrat family.
So on thing i noticed while watching was that the men of the greyrat family tend to be on the same wavelenght. As in, they are all closeted perverts. While they may not be the only men of their kind, they are basically the only characters the anime has shown up to episode 8 that share this trait (im not counting the little shit Roxy is tutoring because he is shown to not even be hiding it).
While it is a stretch, I find it interesting to think that maybe, just maybe, Rudeus isn't the only character that has been isekai'd into this world, and that they other Greyrat men are reincarnations themselves.
Id also like to point out that Paul, Philip, and Sauros are all men of status, and it seems that Rudeus might just follow in their footsteps. It would make sense that retaining the memories of their past life has helped them in this, given that so far, it has helped Rudeus. I mean, Rudeus started learning magic on his own as a freaking toddler, which is something that would not have happened had he been just a normal human. Imagine if Paul had picked up a swordmanship manuel as a toddler? Or maybe if Philip knew how to play politics before being born, and just needed a few history books to make it happen?
Idk, this would be an interesting plotline. If any of the manga/light novel readers are reading this, do say if this theory has any... credibility later on.

Its just asura kingdom nobles being Degenerates
Not only Asura, but rather all the world although some are more discrete than others.
