Description
After graduating from the prestigious magic academy, Noelle got a job at her hometown’s magic item craftsman guild to look after her sick mother. Although her mother safely recovered, her treatment at work continued to worsen due to prejudice and harassment of the guild master. In the end, she was called useless and was fired. It was a friend from the academy days who came up and talked to Noelle, who was at her wit’s end looking for a job. Apart from being a royal magician, he was the youngest to have ever been promoted to sacred-gold-ranked magician. Now, that famous person told Noelle, “I want you, the only one whom I haven’t been able to win against in my life so far, to lend me your strength.” Thus, Noelle went to the royal capital and started working as a royal court magician. She, who went towards the sun’s light, became an existence that attracted attention from the whole kingdom before she knew it——

My Thoughts on Expelled From a Black Magic Item Craftsman Guild, I Was Picked up as a Royal Magician ~but It Was Too Late When I Realized That I Was Actually the Highest-Level Magician in the Kingdom. Starting a Happy Life Anew With Those Who Acknowledged Me in the Royal Court
This title is a mouthful, but after diving into the story, I found a generally enjoyable, if not groundbreaking, fantasy tale. It hits many familiar notes of the "kicked out but actually OP" trope, but with a few interesting twists that kept me engaged.
First Impressions
Initially, I was prepared for a fairly generic power fantasy. And while the core premise isn't revolutionary, the execution feels a bit different. The protagonist, Noelle, is undeniably powerful, but her strength doesn't come without struggles. She's not the ultimate, unchallenged force, which is a refreshing change of pace. The story's lighthearted tone and the somewhat unusual dynamic of the MC's storyline feeling shounen-esque while the male lead's is shoujo-esque, adds to the charm.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this novel is the world-building and the supporting characters. Noelle isn't the only amazing person in the story, which I greatly appreciate. Luke, her love interest, and the supporting cast all have their moments to shine. The fight scenes are surprisingly vivid and engaging, even though this isn't primarily an action novel. I also enjoyed the fact that Noelle is a hard worker and earned her power. She is a magic book-loving nerd who fought to get where she is through hard work. While the premise is familiar, the characters and their interactions make it worthwhile.
Areas of Concern
The romance is slow. Like, glacial. The "slow romance" tag is an understatement, and it might frustrate readers looking for a more immediate payoff in that department. I also feel like the magic system could be a bit more fleshed out early on. It takes a while to really understand the intricacies and the effort involved, which can be a bit of a drag in the beginning. The flashbacks, while intended to build character, sometimes feel awkwardly placed and interrupt the flow of the story.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Expelled From a Black Magic Item Craftsman Guild..." is a comfortable and enjoyable read. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's well-written and has enough unique elements to stand out from the crowd. If you're looking for a lighthearted fantasy with a strong female lead and don't mind a very slow-burn romance, this might be right up your alley. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
