My Thoughts on I Was Expelled From the Hero’s Party, but Because I Can Create Legendary-Class Items, My Territory Has Become the Strongest

Okay, let's dive into "I Was Expelled From The Hero’s Party…," a title that promises a satisfying power fantasy. While the premise is intriguing, my experience with this one was… complicated. There were elements that kept me reading, but some significant flaws held it back from being truly enjoyable.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the classic "kicked out of the party" trope. I always enjoy seeing an MC rise above adversity and prove their former comrades wrong. The idea of an alchemist building a thriving territory with legendary items sounded like a fun, lighthearted adventure. However, the execution left something to be desired.

What Works Well

Despite the low overall rating, I can see a few glimmers of potential. The concept of the MC using his alchemy skills to create legendary items and build a territory is inherently appealing. There's a certain satisfaction in watching an underdog succeed, and the promise of kingdom building is a strong draw for many readers. The short chapters make it a quick read, which some might appreciate for casual entertainment.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, several aspects of the story fell flat for me. The MC's personality is a major sticking point. He comes across as an irresponsible and narcissistic villain, expecting praise for his behind-the-scenes actions without communicating with anyone. His decision to release sealed monsters out of spite after being expelled felt incredibly short-sighted and villainous.

The world-building and character motivations also seem inconsistent. The hero party's actions often defy logic, and the MC's sudden reincarnation backstory feels shoehorned in and unnecessary. The ease with which he develops farmland and attracts a harem of monster girls strains believability. The fight scenes are described as boring and the plot armor is ridiculously thick.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Was Expelled From The Hero’s Party…" is a disappointing read. While the premise has potential, the execution suffers from a poorly written MC, inconsistent world-building, and nonsensical plot developments. I struggled to connect with the characters or invest in the story, and ultimately, I can't recommend it. Proceed with caution.
