    Anyone know any decent stories where the MC is an older adult? (50+ years, maybe late 40s), DOESN'T get rejuvenated or reborn, and actually ACTS their age?

    Or If they DO get rejuvenated, they still stay mentally older (bonus points for back pain jokes, hahahahahha!)

    The actual Genre or plot doesn't really matter to much, I'm more looking for something different right now. But its a plus if its Sci-Fi or has some kind of fantasy (even low fantasy) aspect.

    NOTES:
    1): Decent Length (100+chapters or 2-3 Volumes, depending on chapter length), and/OR being actively translated (Has been updated in the last 1 - 2 months). I.E. I don't want something with 10-15 chapters that's not been updated since August 2016, but something with 5-10 chapters that's been update Mid Nov/Dec (or even the start) is perfectly fine.
    2): No Hentai/Smut. Adult themes/Scenes are fine, but no blatant smut (I.E. a bedroom scene just for the sake of smut).
    3): Harem tag is fine, but No Polygamy.
    4): No BL/GL.

    +1 for this

    Others...not quite sure, the oldest ones that I know, other than above, most are 40-ish (or close) dudes & aside from Ossan, I don't think they got 100+ ch: Atelier Tanaka, Arafoo Kenja no Isekai Seikatsu Nikki, Ossan VRMMO, Shatei Kyokufuri Yumi-Ojisan & Isekai Shoukan ni Makikomareta Obaachan

    There also a manga of a Grandpa who got isekaied after being killed by a robber, protecting his grandson. Unfortunately I forgot the title (^^i)

    The Old Knight of the Frontier District. I myself have yet to read it but apparently the dude is a retired knight and a badass.

    I only know a manga with grandpa MC: Jiisama ga iku. A grandpa was mistakenly transported to isekai while it should be his grandson instead. You can really feel his wisdom and his view as an old man who has tasted the world's ups and downs. Not sure if it's an adaptation from a novel, but the manga is a pretty enjoyable slice of life

    over 2000 chapters and MC isn't just a 45-50 yr old, he's 500+ years old. Although none of us know what a 500-year-old person would act like since no human has ever even lived that long, the MC still acts very maturely and plans deeply as he is experienced with the world and society.

    New story, but it's a no nonsense old timer, so I figure I'll mention it.
    https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/37269/immortal-conqueror - multi-millennia old immortal transports to a new universe (gets a new body). He's seen it all before. He doesn't coddle the people he's with. Obey what he says or you can deal with things yourself after getting out of his way. He doesn't bother to listen to enemy babblings and cuts to the chase. If someone tries to kill him, he kills them regardless of whatever background story caused them to make a move on him.
