    This is a promising fantasy reincarnation story. There are some minor typographical and grammatical issues but generally chapters are clean and enjoyable to read. The main character is a complete Gary Stu at this point in the story. However, I think that is partially by the author's own design. Thus, I'm interested to see how the author will introduce conflict and adversity for the main character to overcome. Many stories in this genre face the narrative obstacle of a Gary Sue. How the author handles the tradtional issues that brings will ultimately make or break this story.
    Nonetheless, I have really enjoyed the story so far. The simple, yet wholesome world building is of particular appeal for me. I look forward to what this story brings in the future.

    This story has a fantastic and vibrant world just waiting to be explored.  Unfortunately, the author isn't quite able to flesh it out fully.  It's completely readable with few spelling errors, but a telling instead of showing style, a MC who acts contrary to his inner monologue, painful to read info dumps, and oddly repetitive wording has caused me to drop it.
    The character is a reincarnated old man.  Unfortunately, the author has chosen to show maturity as stoicism and lack of emotion.  This makes the MC wooden and stiff.  He also will complain about not wanting the attention of the gods, yet will go out of his way to do things that bring their attention.  And not accidentally either.  It's one thing to help out a wandering priest and it's another thing entirely to design a revolutionary new way to combat the undead forces that seek to destroy all life.  Pro tip:  If you don't want the attention of the gods, don't hang out with their religious clergy.
    The world this place is in is just fantastic.  Lots of small background world building and potentially interesting peoples and locations.  However, it's all handwaved away and instead you get the MC showing little to no emotion as he travels.  Money is also wildly subjective and is just there to forward the plot.  He goes from having enough money to buy a house to nearly destitute after staying at an inn for 2 nights and buying regular boots and some sundries for a follower.
    Style...  So many repetitive sentences.  MC does this because he needs to do this.  Example:
    "Stone was rising around his legs; he was trying to protect himself by encapsulating himself in stone."
    The style is also broken with many commas and is sometimes rather stilted in prose.  It will also contradict itself.  Example:
    "Wali and Yacob looked at him; there was a story there. Perhaps this wasn’t the time to share. Once they had caught their breath, they decided which direction to go. Routing around the log was not much of an issue, and neither wa
