This novel is undoubtedly overrated. The story is mediocre, and 3.0 star is the best grade I could possibly give it.The character development is shallow throughout the novel. The MC fails to mature over the 5000 years of living and has no goal in mind, ultimately creating a boring plot with few serious conflicts. The novel evokes humor at times, however, for the most part, it remains quite balnd to readers.It gets on my nerve how the MC keeps on reciting every spell with "Rise, A-rise, A-rise!" like he has eight grade syndrome, and it confuses me on why the MC continues to act like an idiot and fails to learn from his mistakes. The author should have fleshed out more emotional aspects and touch upon his lack of "humanity".The character relationships are also undeveloped, and there are times when too many time skips make the novel slightly confusing.TL;DR -->If you can stand someone reading about someone with an eighth-grade syndrome and don't mind wasting time on shallow character development, go for it. The humor definitely makes it funny.
