A Retired Old Sage Takes His Disciple on a Journey

Why is it that entries of the "Popular New Titles" are absolute dogsh!t 9 times out of 10? Always some generic-ass isekai or some stupid pixiv 2-pager, with the fitting sub-7 rating most of the time. This feels like AI slop without the AI part.

Okay, this one was starting to be pretty good, but goddamn does the MC need to grow a fucking spine. I’m getting sick of the whole “you’re just a measly old man” schtick from literally every villain. It’s gotten boring and we’re not even that far into the story yet ugh. All he has to do is stand up for himself a bit and maybe actually punish some of the people who try to hurt him, but nah, he doesn’t. It is also complete bull he doesn’t actually introduce himself as the sage. Would cancel half their initial problems.

Thanks for the translations!

I am on board with the initial premise and I don't mind as much the idea that MC doesn't look reliable so people who don't recognize him as The Sage force him to prove himself, but it really gets old fast to have this UST every single chapter. Why do so many authors have to indulge the 'blushing hormonal teenagers who can't put their thoughts into words' trope, applying it to people of all ages and backgrounds.

At the point he realized her feelings were the real deal, I was hoping he would stop with the 'well she probably would be happier with [insert random younger dude]'. I'm not saying he even has to be on board with dating his foster daughter but just ignoring the situation knowing it isn't going anywhere is annoying to revisit constantly.

I should probably put some of this on the FL as well because I think it's pretty clear to her what's going through his head. It's probably more understandable that she doubts her feelings herself and doesn't want to actually admit to having a father complex. But I think my bigger issue is that what I WANT to see more of is how the 'only actual competent person was fired and everything is going to shit' sideplot is going.

So, all that said I do want to see where this is going, I just hope they do something to get the sexual tension out of the way of the plot.
