I really like the concept and direction you're going in. The backstory you wrote leaves a lot of wriggle room, which is a really good thing in a story. I can't really say much more due to there only being the prolouge and two chapters, but keep it up :D.

Very good setup nice to have an OP MC where they still need to work hard and with the setup you can keep on "reseting" the story

Story has a ton of things that are expected and quite a few that are not. I really loved the first chapter as it started with him being this super badass who was an even bigger badass before. So it fully explains his OPness. Wanting more.

Review as of CH. 17
Despite the title, story avoids most cliche traps and starts off on the right foot. The tone is rather forced initially; however, it settles in well and is rather enjoyable to read. The caveat to that description is the worldview and personality exhibited by Aaron, the protagonist.
Aaron is a self described immortal, survivor of countless battles and manipulator of cosmic energies. Despite his supposedly advanced worldview, he falls for simple tricks and is rather out of touch with reality. The author has no trouble connecting the different parts of a complex world yet seems to run into a roadblock when incorporating that 'bird's eye view' mentality.
The author WANTS you to see Aaron as the reincarnation of someone who fought his way to the top of the totem pole in Earth's universe while surviving trials, tribulations, plots, and infinite tides of cosmic lemmings. While reading the story; though, the reader feels that he errs more towards the Mad Scientist archetype than the battle hardened immortal (Compare Ben, "The Immortal Scientist" with Dirge, "Devourer of Destiny").
Lastly, his reactions are all over the place. It feels as though the author has a personality in mind for the character but keeps superimposing their own personal morality over the top. Aaron is constantly hitting extremes in multiple directions when responding to situations. He brushes off the scheming of his teacher as 'for the family', then barely a sentence later vows revenge against that same teacher because his father was involved. This takes place despite seeing little emotional interaction between him and his family beyond the sacrifices they make to help Aaron gain power early on.
The grammar and spelling is of a fairly high quality, despite the lack of proper editing. The style and execution of the story is well thought out and includes interludes from other points of view throughout. The story is currently being held back by the lack of secondary character developmen

★★★ 3.0
The mc is disadvantaged to the point that he simply cannot survive without plot armor. It is hard to attribute any success to the MC because so many of the things he does rely so heavily on luck. When he does survive the method is often barely explainable by logic and comes off as a forced contrivance.
The mc is of course born with knowledge from previous life and has an intrinsic advantage, the author seems to be trying to compensate and is overdoing it. In an effort to add tension, I would guess, there are enemies way beyond his league who learn of him early (so that the reader can feel the pressure) and yet wait just long enought to act that he somehow survives (its impossible for the MC to beat them yet because their entire point is that they are overwhelmingly powerful yet the MC must survive for the story to continue so they simply take ages to respond and send underqualified underlings to deal with the issue).
Also, i read the beginning before the major edits and altho having the story change after you read it is a bit annoying the edits really were needed. Having the ancestor randomly set up and betray the MC is just nonsense that defies comprehension. (theres need for more really but definitely moving in the right direction)

I read up to chapter 20.
Mc is supposed to be an ageless wise immortal but behaves like a child that has never stepped out of the house.

I actually liked this story up to 29/9/2018 chapter 18, when chapter 19 came out the author changed multiple plotpoints with it. This made the story, that up until then had the MC come off as somewhat more human because even our almighty MC could get blindsided, seemingly turn into the standard know it all that is in control of every situation when he doesn't seem to have the right to.
Hence my 1 star review, maybe a bit low. But the potential entertainment loss make me kind of bitter about it.

Goofy tale of an infant who remembers and retains most of his magical abilities. There is no true growth of the protagonist and you just get to relive his amazing powers being reawakened. Might not be a good fit for me as I need some form of struggle to stay interested.

If you have some time to throw away, like watching a canceled TV serie, go right ahead.
Otherwise, avoid. Nothing special here, and author is very, VERY prone to get bored and throw hiatus left and right.
And now a rewrite. Delightful.
