Like any great story, it starts like a joke. So an annoyingly-strict human, a naive dragon girl, a convicted ex-priest, and a disgraced noble walk into a bar...
Anyway, so in summary, it's a surprisingly down-to-earth isekai story about four people who were backstabbed or betrayed by people they trust, who band together to form a tight-knit party that grows together and heals their hearts.
Unlike most isekai stories, the protagonists are not a team of legendary heroes chosen by the gods to defeat the demon lord. They're a group of common adventurers who quest just to make ends meet, and maybe have a bit of fun with the leftover cash. Each adventurer has a grim backstory about their betrayal, which ties into their current actions from the way they act toward their teammates. Anyway, here are some pros and cons.
Pros:
- A relatively-fresh story about rising up after a fall and overcoming trauma.
- Well-written dialogue, albeit a bit on the corny side sometimes.
Cons:
- The main protagonist looks nearly identical to any other isekai protag, despite being nothing like them.
- There are some occasional ecchi moments mixed in, mostly thanks to the buxom dragon girl. Not too common, though, luckily.
- So far, the story seems to keep the spotlight on the two main characters, despite starting the story by establishing a team of four interesting characters. The other two are closer to background characters with very little development.
All in all, I give it a 6.5/10, which is still better than what I'd rate 90% of isekai manga. I hope the story decides to share the spotlight with the whole party soon, and recent plot developments seem to hint toward such, so I'm looking forward to future chapters.
