Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World Chapter 143 Discussion

Finally gave up on this. Initially seems like a pretty decent power fantasy flick, however, some major issues really prevent one from enjoying this:

1. No progress

the main character jumps around from setting to setting trying to achieve magic, but there is no progress, or rather any reward in any of his adventures except maybe the first one, that sees his status changed. He just comes, fixes an issue that requires cutting a big bad baddie, finds out it's a dead end in regards to obtaining magic, leaves again. There is some hint of an overaching story line but it is so faint you forget about it.

2. What is magic?

MC wants magic, but only has sword techniques. Problem is, these sword techniques can do just about anything and is thus kind of indistinguishable from magic that leads you to question just what the MC wants to be able to do before we can quantify that as magic

3. So many things make no sense

Multiple times over the story, I have questioned the motivations of the characters, the world logic, the attitude of certain people in certain situations with a big fat "Why?" because they simply lack sense.
