Everyone has different taste and for me this is a MasterChef meal

This is mostly pleasant. It’s not going anywhere, but it is sometimes exciting. There are mysteries being slowly revealed, and MC is becoming OP but not all at once. MC is not very likeable, too wishy washy, but not insufferable. The gender bend amounts to nothing so far. I think the elf lifespan and the “old man” title reference are trying to be allegorical. I recommend very mildly.
Summary: Spineless salaryman wakes up one day as an isekai dark elf woman with high level magic power. Becomes an adventurer, makes friends.
Beautiful wholesome story yet it gets boring time to time. There isn’t really any major turn that Manga is going towards yet, though I’d like some cool fight scenes. Mc is pretty overpowered despite just reincarnating. His past life is pretty plain though I won’t complain. Overall good to pass the time with 7.5/10

It would be better if this manga focused solely on Slice of Life and ruled out any romance while showering us with the pov of adventuring of fun and chill.

author is gay / lesbian, and I dont hate it, but doesnt mean I like it, I did disapprove of it
Finally, an Isekai that isn’t obsessed with
- Level Grinding/Battle Mania
- Finding increasingly weirder reasons to own slaves
- Obtaining a haram
- Having absurd cheat code skills
and is instead just about adjusting to being thrown into a new world with a new body and no explanation while dealing with social anxiety issues. The gender bending is kind of glossed over, other than the social aspects of it, but I imagine we’re not going to see a lot of that regardless.
Yes, the MC does have more power than what seems is normal, but that could just be a factor of her new body (as dark elves are apparently rare and not much is known about them). What will be interesting is how the MC reacts as they come to realize just how out of sync they are with everyone else.
14 chapters in and really enjoying it. I wouldn’t call it slice of life or action/adventure, but it contains at least a little bit of each.

My fantasy
I thought I’ve seen it all

Mildly interesting gender bender isekai
I can see why some people would like this but it’s not for me.
MC is pretty cowardly and as a woman with the mind of a man is pretty oblivious of the intentions of others despite being a 43 year old man.
the MC needs to grow a spine maannnnnnn
