I'm not mad about him being OP. There's actually reasons why he is OP, and that doesn't bother me. The fact that his female apprentice who has been training and learning the entire time he;s been dead, is wack. MC was one of the strongest in his time, and he's super OP now bc the level of magic mastery is lower. He was able to overcome his lack of talent or natural ability, but I'm assuming the apprentice doesn't have that handicap and she had far more time to hone her abilities.
TLDR; MC being OP is fine and makes sense narratively, his apprentice still being weaker than him doesn't make sense.
He was dead for 400 years while she was training, and he's still better somehow? She's been training with his methods for longer than he has been alive, but he still needs to be better huh? Alright I'm done.
