Re: OP
Rin is written with a lot of realistic reactions to childhood trauma, including escalating sexual abuse. She has the trust issues, the anger, the feelings of worthlessness and responsibility, periods of numbness/dissociation, and the difficulty with healthy interpersonal boundaries. And the hypersexuality -- which is taken OTT and awkward for the sake of loli fanservice, but in the beginning it's also clearly telegraphed as being part of Rin's issues.
She needs to be in control of every situation, even if she has to behave wildly inappropriately to do it. With Daisuke she's found that being sexual around him will keep him discombobulated and off-balance, so she takes the idea and runs with it. (With her previous teacher, she used intimidation and threats.) The adults in her life are portrayed as heroic when they're modeling proper boundaries, while still supporting her and not judging her for this mindset she's been warped into. Daisuke's "Yes, that was a bad thing you did -- but you're a good girl!" speech to her is still probably one of my favorite expressions-of-parental-love scenes in media.
If you wanted to write a deconstruction of lolicon, it would have a lot in common with KnJ. "Oh, you want a third-grade girl who propositions her teacher? Because realistically, this would be a kid who's super fucked up, not just about sex but in general."
...although according to this thread they do apparently hook up by the end, which is, like, Bunny Drop levels of narrative betrayal. Ick.
I'll just stay over here with my headcanons about Daisuke continuing to guide Rin into healthy, supportive, age-appropriate relationships, and then fifteen years later crying at her wedding when she toasts him for being the best father a girl could ask for.

As with the gratuitous-loli parts, if you can mentally write out the scenes suggesting non-fatherly love, you can still enjoy it (and the story holds up fine). But I completely understand just straight-up nope'ing out at that point.
