About this ebook

Sansui Shirokuro is a young guy with an old man's name, which ends up landing him in tragic circumstances when God snuffs out his life candle after mistaking him for a geezer whose time has passed. Now reincarnated into a fantasy world, Sansui is one of the Immortals, capable of immense power... as long as he's willing to put centuries of work into achieving it. One day, after five hundred years of swinging his sword, his monotonous existence is upended entirely by the appearance of a little baby. His master sends him out into the world to raise the child, and it's there that he meets a haughty young noblewoman and her tomboyish bodyguard. His fighting style may be bland and unpretentious, but the fast-paced mortal world is about to find out just how good even the most hopeless swordsman can get with half a millennium of practice behind him!

Ratings and reviews

Read the sample... Seriously! I wouldn't say that the plot is non-existent but it's got enough holes that it doesn't amount to much. It's really dumb to think someone could just do nothing for 500 years without having any kind of a life, and even if they could... well it doesn't make for much of a story. The characters are completely 2 dimensional and not only are they not believable, I frankly really didn't like them. Particularly the MC who's basically a doormat. no drive at all!

I read the first two volumes on jnovel club. As the title suggests, the MC is very boring and unfortunately the supporting characters are too. I gave up before getting through the third one.

First light novel that I could not finish the first book. The writing is dull and drawn out to the point that at over halfway through the first book nothing of real significance has happened. The concept is vary interesting and unique but the writing needs some work.
