If elves existed the perception of time wouldn't be so bad, unless they lived in a secluded area where sunlight cannot reach, in reality elves only need the sunlight for their perception to match ours.
I wasn't the only one thinking this looked a bit like 'Mushoku Tensei' in the magic training department?It also took the "train your magic limits as a child" concept from Mushoku Tensei. Still, this is all set up and the plot is likely starting after the introduction arc. I'll reserve my judgment.
Same route but another tale
Thank you for translate
Ah, no wonder the initial premise felt familiar. Thanks for pointing it out.this is just "https://mangadex.org/title/8280b28c...-reincarnated-as-a-high-elf-and-now-i-m-bored" but more magic
Well there the elf doesn't have a purpose and everyone knows that elves exist. Here elves are more mythical and he has the goal of just getting magic. And we have yet to see any characters.this is just "https://mangadex.org/title/8280b28c...-reincarnated-as-a-high-elf-and-now-i-m-bored" but more magic
(also slightly worse, as things progressed so freaking fast what the hell? We didn't even get the chance to know bond/feel connected with any characters)
uh, sorry? We saw his parents, an elder elf, his apprentice (who is apparently the lord of the nearby land?) and then finally his apprentice's son.Well there the elf doesn't have a purpose and everyone knows that elves exist.

His parents and the elder elf are clearly throwaway characters, his apprentice was used to introduce the apprentice's son so also a throwaway character and we got a promise that our MC will see the apprentice's son so he might be introduced there.uh, sorry?

I'm not saying it needs to be dragged out with each character having one chapter to introduce them, but it would have been nicer to know how he got the apprentice and bond with him for a bit. Here, we saw one (1) panel of him and then next he is dead. I'm sure the point is to show that elves live long lives, but it's not impactful or meaningful in any way.
call me old-fashioned but creating 4 characters to introduce and then throwaway within 1 chapter is honestly poor storytelling.His parents and the elder elf are clearly throwaway characters, his apprentice was used to introduce the apprentice's son so also a throwaway character and we got a promise that our MC will see the apprentice's son so he might be introduced there.

They aren't even mobs or NPCs, they're literally his parents and a student of his! Those are literally the easiest characters to establish bonds/emotional connections with.
Anw, I stand by my decision that this isn't that good and just a rip off of that other elf series.
Or other Demi-Human races.Hmmm hope this is good. I want more stories with elves as MC
