It's good and enjoyable, but you're going to need to settle in for the long haul here because the pace is very, very unhurried. It's hard to judge this from just the first book because this feels either like a prologue, or the start of a lifespan-spanning epic. Note also that each page has two rows of text, so it's quite a bit longer than the page count would suggest. No conquering happens in this book - the protagonist is still a child by the end, and the way it's set up I imagine the next book is going to be mostly a school-life story.
It avoids a lot of the awfulness of isekai stories, but the classic tropes are there. Loner guy dies and the story picks up from his birth, and then shows some extended scenes from his childhood. There's no creepy sexual stuff and it reads more like a general fantasy book than complete narou slop, but it's also very-much in the adult-in-a-child's-body using their superior knowledge to succeed at everything vein of isekai stories.
Anyway, I enjoyed it, and will read more.
Difficultywise, it's not hard if you're comfortable with fantasy stories.
