Description
“You are expelled from this party as of today!” These sudden words were directed at Rolo, a childhood friend and best friend. Faced with this unexpected tyranny and the unyielding stance of the leader, Albert, Jurg decides to leave the state-selected party “Silhasta” along with his expelled friend Rolo. Disgusted with a party that exiles a comrade without reason, even if it’s state-selected, Jurg announces his departure and returns to his hometown Marhas in the eastern frontier along with Rolo. A few days after the commotion, a girl sets out from the adventure city in pursuit of Jurg and his group. She is Fimia, the “Saintess,” one of the reasons why “Silhasta” was pushed to be a state-selected party. Naturally, “Silhasta,” and Albert, who harbors romantic feelings for her, are thrown into great confusion. With the dismissal of a ‘useless’ member, they had lost a key member and Albert’s love interest. Albert, frustrated that things aren’t going his way, begins to track down Fimia, believing that nothing can start without her. Meanwhile, Jurg and his companions start operating as adventurers, investigating the anomalies around Marhas. The party “Mercia,” formed by the renowned Jurg and Rolo, and later joined by Fimia, gradually becomes famous in the frontier. This is the story of Jurg, who will eventually be known as the “Hero of the Frontier.”

My Thoughts on My Best Friend Was Expelled From the State-Selected Party, so I Decided To Leave Too
Okay, so I dove into "My Best Friend Was Expelled From the State-Selected Party, so I Decided To Leave Too" with a healthy dose of curiosity. The premise itself is intriguing, and the tags promised a blend of action, adventure, and fantasy, which is right up my alley. After spending some time with this story, I've got some thoughts.
First Impressions
The initial chapters pulled me in pretty quickly. The writing style is solid, and the characters, at first glance, are interesting enough to keep you invested. The world-building is also quite decent; I could easily picture the setting and the societies within it.
What Works Well
The friendship dynamic between the protagonist and his best friend is definitely a strong point. The story does a good job of showcasing their bond and the protagonist's loyalty, which is a refreshing change of pace from some of the more self-centered MCs out there. I also appreciate that the protagonist acknowledges his past mistakes and understands why some people might dislike him. This kind of self-awareness, even if flawed, adds a layer of depth to his character.
Areas of Concern
However, I do have some reservations, particularly regarding the protagonist's personality. While his humility is admirable to an extent, it sometimes veers into excessive self-deprecation. He seems almost determined to undermine his own potential and consistently puts his friend on a pedestal, even when it's not entirely warranted. This can be a bit frustrating, especially when other characters are clearly showing interest in him, and he remains oblivious. I feel like the "dense MC" tag is missing, and it would be a good addition.
Final Verdict
Overall, "My Best Friend Was Expelled From the State-Selected Party, so I Decided To Leave Too" has a lot of potential. The world-building is interesting, the core friendship is compelling, and the writing is competent. However, the protagonist's dense and self-deprecating nature can be a bit grating at times. If you're willing to overlook that, or perhaps hope for some character development in that area, it's a story worth checking out. I'm giving it a tentative recommendation, with the caveat that you might need some patience with the MC.
