Kanbara Kanata, one of the chosen humans ended up incurring the Evil God’s wrath and as a result, was sent to the worst dungeon,《Cocytus》. But, in a place where he was supposed to lose his life, he met Lunaère, a self-proclaimed misanthropic immortal girl. He was saved by her, who then decided to train him ’till he could at least protect himself. 「Master, I think… I’ve become strong enough.」「It’s Not enough! Erm, outside of this dungeon is a dangerous place you know!」「Seriously!? More dangerous than this place…」 This is the story of Kanata who was trained by his master, who easily succumbed to loneliness, till he became the greatest hero of legend, and yet was unaware of it.

My Thoughts on Disciple of Immortal

Alright, let's dive into "Disciple of Immortal." I went in with pretty standard expectations for an isekai, and my experience ended up being... mixed. There are definitely some things to enjoy, but also some frustrating elements that held it back from being a truly great read, in my opinion.

First Impressions

The initial setup is classic isekai: a Japanese protagonist, Kanata, gets whisked away to another world by some rather capricious gods and gets dumped in a high-level dungeon. The early chapters, especially those focused on his training with a tsundere lich master, Lunaire, were pretty engaging. Their interactions had a certain charm, and the initial power-up phase was fun.

What Works Well

The writing style and translation quality were consistently praised, and I agree. It's easy to read and understand, which is a huge plus. Some readers really enjoyed the world-building and found the premise intriguing. Lunaire, despite being a somewhat stereotypical tsundere, seems to be a fan favorite, and I can see why. Her interactions with Kanata are definitely one of the highlights.

Areas of Concern

Here's where things get a bit dicey. A major point of contention is the protagonist himself. Kanata is often described as dense, naive, and frustratingly passive. Many readers, myself included, found it hard to swallow how a character who's supposedly incredibly powerful is so hesitant to use his strength and so quick to apologize to people who are actively trying to harm him. This isn't just a case of being dense, but a complete lack of common sense at times. The "misunderstanding" trope is used to an excessive degree, and the slow pacing and repetitive jokes really started to wear on me.

Final Verdict

"Disciple of Immortal" has potential, and the early chapters are enjoyable enough. However, the frustrating protagonist, repetitive humor, and questionable character development ultimately make it a difficult recommendation. If you're a die-hard isekai fan and can tolerate a very passive MC, you might find something to enjoy here. Otherwise, there are probably better options out there. I'd give it a hesitant 2.5 out of 5 stars.
