Don't worry, I understand where you're coming from and I agree with your breakdown of this mangaNow I'mma be frank; I think the MC in this story is too old for me. I gave this a shot because the manga I related it to was this(just cause of the age of the MC, though that MC is not exactly "old man"). That's because I like a little romance with my MCs in these kinds of stories, with "romance" being a locked-in couple or a harem. But this MC already got a grandchild that's old enough to have a kid =0v.
Even discounting my expectations, it might be okay, especially if MC was just acting "old man"ish on purpose for this 1st chapter. The art is plain(plain is better than bad), and having an OLD-old man starting out as an adventurer is an angle that I personally haven't seen yet. I'll give it time to cook.
Don't get it twisted though, I appreciate the hard work on translating this m(_ _m).
I think the next 5+ chapters are a lot better, goes closer in line to what we typically see, basically he's an old man but just gained access to new power so he's kinda just testing it out and working through the processNow I'mma be frank; I think the MC in this story is too old for me.

He is still an old man in the latest chapter, while what you said (probably) doesn't happen (I haven't read all of it yet...), he gains power and skills to the point he can move pretty decent, but still acts grandfatherly and an old manThe cover artstyle is amix between Isekai Ojisan and Keikenchi Chochiku.
This might sound ill intent but I hope there won't be any saint or magic that revert his age or return his vitality in his prime and stay on making him genuinely old. Let's not make this another Blind Isekai without the "Blind" part.
