True, I think this author leans more into passage of time/what immortality means relative to others compared to say, Freiren. Although Freiren is the one getting all the awards and recognition...

True, Frieren mostly uses immortals who are so ancient its hard to understand how old they are, and only really used these sorts of short jumps (relatively speaking) as an inciting incident (as in Himmel and Heiter's deaths). In a way, it's like Frieren is supposed to feel alien and overwhelming to the reader. We view Frieren somewhat similarly to how to world would, while we view this world similarly to how Aesir does. Another big thing is that Aesir was reincarnated, so he was primed to view relationships like how a human does. Aesir wouldn't feel right acting the same as Frieren at Himmel's death, imo, and it's because I can't imagine Aesir not having made the effort.

I also feel like the focus of the immortality is different. With Aesir, it is very focused on a changing world, while Frieren is focusd on an unchanging her

"I found my way to a massive field of wheat..." Do you know what else is massive...?

I'm sorry, the brainrot is consuming me.

You wanna know what ELSE is massive?

The people that he cares about are going to pass much sooner than him anyway, so might as well spend as much time with them as possible before they die.

MC should just stop wasting so much time travelling. Are you telling me that with all his power and knowledge, the best means for travel that he can come up with are walking and riding a horse?

It goes in hand with how he cope with living longer than most people he established a relationship with. Enjoying the present moment and be grateful for the joy it bring rather than dwelling on what has past. He stayed with the girl who fall in love with him for the last stretch of her life and it shaken him a lot when she passed. This series give me existential angst every new chapter I swear. The vampire progenitor from isekai farm life got it right, erase most of your memory every few centuries to avoid the massive baggage.
