Description
The Sage, Eto, who belongs to a hero party, was being treated discriminately because his party couldn’t recognize the value of support magic, which he is only good at.Even so, Eto still tried hard to be useful for his party. However, when he was being misunderstood and shunned by his childhood friend, who was also the master swordsman in that party, he began to think it was the time for him to leave the party.Then, following the words of the hero asking him to leave the party, Eto finally decided to leave the hero party.Thus, Eto begins his adventure, freely using support magic that was forbidden because of how useless it was.“Eto! Where did you get this much power!”“Haven’t I said it was from support magic? It’s the power that I already had from the start, just like the ‘hero’ title you have.”When they met again, Eto’s power had grown beyond his own imagination and beyond the power of the hero.※This is not a story about revenge. I just hope you enjoy watching the characters that appear in the story grow as the main character begins his adventure.

My Thoughts on The Support Magician Who Was Kicked Out of The Hero Party Will Begin His Adventure
This web novel had a lot of potential, and while it wasn't a complete disaster, it definitely left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. The premise is intriguing – a support magician unfairly ousted from the hero's party striking out on his own – but the execution stumbles in a few key areas.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked. The classic setup of an underestimated protagonist seeking to prove his worth is always appealing. The early chapters did a decent job of establishing the injustice our MC faced and setting the stage for his new adventure. The idea of him forming his own party and carving his own path was exciting.
What Works Well
The author deserves credit for attempting to add nuance to the initial conflict. I appreciated that the hero's party wasn't portrayed as purely evil. There's an effort made to give them some character development and show them gradually realizing their mistakes. The fact that the MC eventually buys male teammates is also a welcome change from the usual gender dynamics often found in this genre.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue lies with the follow-through. The "revenge" aspect, which is a major draw for many readers, feels incredibly anticlimactic. If you're expecting a tale of satisfying retribution, you'll likely be disappointed. The author seems to want to redeem the hero, but it falls flat, especially as the hero's motivations are unclear, which makes it hard to empathize with him.
The pacing also suffers. There are moments where the story drags, and some potentially interesting plot points, like the introduction of dungeons, are completely abandoned. The author also seems to have some questionable ideas about slavery.

Final Verdict
"The Support Magician Who Was Kicked Out of The Hero Party Will Begin His Adventure" is a mixed bag. While the premise is promising and there are moments of genuine interest, the weak execution and lack of satisfying resolution ultimately hold it back. If you're looking for a lighthearted, low-stakes adventure with a focus on character development over revenge, you might find something to enjoy here. However, if you're craving a tale of justifiable vengeance, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. I give it a 2.5/5.
