It's not the best isekai manga, but it's still pretty entertaining. The premise itself is that this old man is reincarnated as an overpowered young boy. Instead of being a hero, he started living an isolated life along with his companions, which are evolutionarily tamed slimes. I was interested in seeing how he developed alone.
I started to lose interest once they convinced him to come to the city and live with the duke's family. It started to lose attention to the progress of the slime and focused more on developing side characters. I will continue to read it, but I hope he doesn't fall in love with either the duke's younger sister or the new cat girl. I think it'd be weird, considering he is an old guy in a child's body. The best option would be to not include romance.
I would recommend it as a quick read. It would also be good for a reader who isn't familiar with the concept of isekai and game dynamics.
