I feel like I've seen this premise a bunch of times now (such as Sexiled or Roll Over and Die) and I feel like we need one of these to take its time before the girl gets kicked out of the hero party. Without any buildup they just keep having not much weight to what happens, though of course having buildup means the story wouldn't get to the premise as quick, but fronting it all in the first chapter makes it just feel like a shoddy way to make the audience feel bad for the character while putting them in a situation where they can be more free.It kinda felt like rush, prob trying to get to the point, let see how it goes, I hope it is Yuri
I agree, I wish these types of stories had the narrative patience of something like Dungeon Meshi. I think part of might be that all of those are light novel adaptations with the pacing flaws that can come with them along with the pressures of capturing the reader's attention in the first chapter. But that doesn't mean that it couldn't be done properly. One potential approach could be to have the first chapter run long, grounding it in the MC's insecurities about her power while fleshing out relationships with other party members. Build up the anticipation to the boss battle in the first 10-20 pages rather than throwing us in immediately, with the first chapter ending in the MC's party's complete failure because of MC's alleged mistakes. Maybe add in a little "I am so getting kicked out of the party" thought bubble or box on the last page. Then next chapter she can get kicked out of the party.I feel like I've seen this premise a bunch of times now (such as Sexiled or Roll Over and Die) and I feel like we need one of these to take its time before the girl gets kicked out of the hero party.

Yeah, a real long chapter 1 to flesh things out more would certainly help, or doing something like Dungeon Meshi where you subvert the plot partway through, would be great.I agree, I wish these types of stories had the narrative patience of something like Dungeon Meshi...
Heavily agreed, I had to read through the chapter twice to figure out what was actually going on.Digression aside- even compared to others with the same premise, this one in particular was sloppily told on a plot, art, and sequential narrative level...
