Description
In a world where 40% of humanity awakens to unique abilities. Magical beasts and dungeons are everywhere, making the adventurer profession one of the most lucrative paths. Sasha, the leader of the team Sacred, was on the brink of being promoted to S-Rank Adventurer. On the same day, another person was also confirmed to achieve S-Rank—a boy named Haise. Haise was once a member of Sacred, an F-Rank adventurer who had been expelled from the team by Sasha. Possessing an unusual ability, Haise struggled to understand its nature. Misunderstood and abandoned by his childhood friend Sasha, he was cast out of the team under the pretense that “Haise couldn’t keep up”. The true reason behind his expulsion was Sasha’s desire to protect him—she didn’t want Haise to die while adventuring. However, Haise refused to give up. Even on his own, he worked tirelessly to continue his journey as an adventurer. One day, Sasha deceived Haise into venturing into a forest inhabited by a dragon, where he was nearly killed. Betrayed by the trust he had placed in Sasha, Haise vowed never to believe in her again and resolved to grow stronger as an adventurer on his own. At 16, both Haise and Sasha were recognized as S-Rank adventurers. Haise sought to become the strongest adventurer alone, while Sasha aimed to be the best alongside her companions. This is the story of two childhood friends who once walked the same path but diverged onto separate journeys—paths that might one day cross again.

My Thoughts on The Path of an S-Rank Adventurer: The Boy Who Was Expelled from His Party Awakens to His True Power [Weapon Master] and Eventually Becomes the World’s Strongest
First Impressions
Okay, that title is a mouthful, isn’t it? Going into this one, I was expecting a fairly standard banishment-revenge story, and while it does hit some of those familiar beats, it also tries to do things a little differently. The premise is pretty simple: Haise gets kicked out of his party, awakens to awesome powers, and… well, becomes the world’s strongest, eventually. The initial setup definitely grabbed my attention.
What Works Well
One of the more interesting aspects is the way the story unfolds. Instead of a straightforward timeline, we jump between the present and flashbacks, gradually piecing together what happened between Haise and his former party, especially Sasha. This slow reveal definitely kept me hooked, wanting to know more about the events that led to his banishment. I also appreciated that the former party members weren’t portrayed as completely evil. There's a sense that their actions, while misguided, stemmed from a place of concern for Haise, even if their execution was terrible. Some readers have also noted that they enjoy the unique story and found it more interesting than other banished hero stories.
Areas of Concern
However, the execution seems to falter as the story progresses. A major sticking point for many readers is Sasha, the female lead. Some feel she avoids taking responsibility for her actions and doesn't face adequate consequences. The reconciliation between her and Haise feels rushed and unearned. Her character seems inconsistent, which makes it hard to root for her. The harem aspect also feels forced and unnecessary, detracting from the core narrative. Power scaling issues and an inconsistent level of hatred from Haise after being betrayed have also been mentioned as issues.

Final Verdict
"The Path of an S-Rank Adventurer" had the potential to be a standout in the genre, but unfortunately, it stumbles along the way. While the initial premise and non-linear storytelling are intriguing, the weak character development, inconsistent plot points, and questionable handling of the reconciliation ultimately hold it back. If you're looking for a unique take on the banishment trope and don't mind overlooking some flaws, it might be worth a shot. However, be prepared for some frustrating character choices and missed opportunities.
