An Old Man from the Countryside Becomes a Swords Saint: I Was Just a Rural Sword Teacher, But My Successful Students Won’t Leave Me Alone! Chapter 123 Discussion

This started out alright and in line with the premises, yet several arcs in the MC hasn't made any progress or independent choices. If you want the same sort of thing over and over, it's pretty much as labeled.

It was initially interesting to see the combat and how the matchups reinforced the humility of the MC, but after so many victories, that sort of humility is just arrogance. If you think you're average but you win every battle, then that's insulting to your opponents. There were also multiple instances where he talks about holding back when there really should not be the leeway to do so.

I really enjoyed seeing the times where he loses his cool and goes all out, but then he's back to his bumbling persona without motivation or interest in much of anything.

As of right now I plan to keep reading with the hope that the trickle of changes eventually build up to him having any inkling of interest in living and trying to meet someone or that one of his admirers actually tries to romance him, but it has become very underwhelming with how little he tries.
