As most the reviewers had said before, the strong point is the magic system. Unique enough to be core of the story, but the MC himself takes much away from the story. His inner dialogue is constant complaints on the strangeness of the new world, though to his credit the author tries to establish why as well. It’s always why would they do this or that and he makes his own rationale for it after complaining. It consistently comes up which makes it annoying while simultaneously making it feel like he hasn’t adjusted in this world yet despite living in it for so long. It makes sense because he was sheltered but it isn’t presented well. While I understand the occasional nostalgia for modern food but his insistent gripe on basic food palate of the fantasy world is tedious, his master would’ve prepared him with spices considering he was fine wit her cooking for so long, if not he should’ve asked for it as an adult in a teenager’s body. It’s one of the troupes for reincarnations that often comes up, reborn as a new person with adult memories, but for some reason reverted into an actual child’s mindset with no explanation.Overall it is a good novel, but the lack of any important events and the only mystery of magic to keep you interested, it is a slice of life, adventure of a new magic user in a unfamiliar world situation. It might be your cup of tea but I find it hard to like/dislike it as 60 chapters in it feels stagnant.
