A 30-Year-Old Corporate S*ave Gets Dragged into Hero Summoning ~ Expelled for Not Being a Hero, But Only I Awaken to the Ultimate Status. It’s Too Late to Ask Me to Come Back Now ~

My Thoughts on A 30-Year-Old Corporate S*ave Gets Dragged into Hero Summoning ~ Expelled for Not Being a Hero, But Only I Awaken to the Ultimate Status. It’s Too Late to Ask Me to Come Back Now ~

Okay, let's dive into this title – and what a title it is! "A 30-Year-Old Corporate S*ave Gets Dragged into Hero Summoning ~ Expelled for Not Being a Hero, But Only I Awaken to the Ultimate Status. It’s Too Late to Ask Me to Come Back Now ~" definitely screams "isekai power fantasy," and, well, it mostly delivers on that promise.

First Impressions

My initial impression was cautiously optimistic. The premise is classic isekai fare: a regular guy gets whisked away to another world, deemed useless, and then BAM! Hidden power. We've seen it before, but a fresh take can always be enjoyable. The tags promised adventure, cheats, and game elements – all things I typically enjoy.

What Works Well

The wish fulfillment aspect is definitely present. The MC, initially dismissed, quickly gains power and starts to show up those who underestimated him. This is a core element of the genre, and if you're looking for that, you'll find it here. I also appreciated the initial setup. The idea of multiple people being summoned and then sorted based on perceived usefulness is a pretty standard trope in the genre, but it does offer a decent jumping-off point.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, the execution seems to falter. One of the biggest sticking points for me was the main character's decision-making. I sometimes found myself questioning his logic and overall awareness of his surroundings. His actions occasionally felt inconsistent with the world-building, which made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. It’s a real shame because the core concept has potential, but these inconsistencies really detract from the experience.

Final Verdict

Overall, "A 30-Year-Old Corporate S*ave Gets Dragged into Hero Summoning ~ Expelled for Not Being a Hero, But Only I Awaken to the Ultimate Status. It’s Too Late to Ask Me to Come Back Now ~" is a mixed bag. If you're a die-hard isekai fan looking for a quick power fantasy fix and can overlook some questionable character decisions, you might find some enjoyment here. However, if you value consistent character behavior and a well-thought-out world, you might be left wanting more. I'd recommend approaching this one with tempered expectations.
