My Thoughts on The Dismissed Royal Magician is Returning Home The Country is a Facing Crisis, But I Don’t Care
This web novel certainly sparked some strong opinions, and after diving in, I can see why. "The Dismissed Royal Magician..." presents an intriguing premise: a talented mage, overworked and unappreciated, gets the boot and decides to prioritize her own happiness. But does it deliver? Let's break it down.
First Impressions
The initial chapters hooked me with the promise of a satisfying "sticking it to the man" scenario. The idea of a kingdom crumbling after mistreating its most competent magician is undeniably appealing. I was eager to see the protagonist embrace a new life, perhaps finding adventure or a peaceful existence far from the thankless capital.
What Works Well
The setup is genuinely strong. The first few chapters effectively portray the protagonist's mistreatment and the sheer incompetence of those in power. The author paints a believable picture of workplace abuse fueled by nepotism and pride. I also appreciated the supportive portrayal of the protagonist's parents, a refreshing change from some of the dysfunctional families you often find in these stories. The potential for a cozy slice-of-life back in her hometown, coupled with hints of adventure with a childhood friend, was definitely a draw.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the execution seems to falter. A significant criticism I found was the shift in focus away from the protagonist. The story spends a surprising amount of time with the minister who fired her, detailing his perspective and attempts to fix the mess. While some readers enjoyed this, I felt it diluted the impact of the protagonist's journey and made the title somewhat misleading.
Another major issue is the protagonist's characterization. She comes across as passive and overly forgiving, failing to capitalize on opportunities for personal growth or satisfying retribution. Instead, she often relies on others to solve her problems, diminishing her agency and making it difficult to root for her.

Final Verdict
"The Dismissed Royal Magician..." had the potential to be a cathartic and enjoyable read. However, the shift in perspective, the protagonist's passivity, and the uneven pacing ultimately detract from the overall experience. While the initial chapters offer a glimpse of promise, the story struggles to maintain its focus and deliver on its core themes. I'd recommend approaching this one with caution.
