“I got kicked out of the hero’s party”, okay why can’t we get an MC that LEAVES the hero’s party? They are all super toxic assholes. Just once I want an MC that has the common sense to leave an bad work environment where he’ll never see improvement or growth. I don’t get it. Is it a cultural thing? I know the japanese are more polite and believe more in contributing to society. Do they have to be kicked out to leave a toxic workplace and seek better employment or other opportunities? Is this why other isekai is about the salaryman working at an abusive black company that has to truck-kuned and die to get a better life? Like is it just impossible for them to quit or something?
Edit: Okay, I got mad halfway and made the comment when he first got kicked out. Having read the full chapter, this trope is only getting more ridiculous. In ONE freaking day the MC is more useful and makes more money than he ever did in the hero’s party. Oh and apparently he has a CRAZY amount of magic power, so the so called genius “hero’s party” is wasting their time. Had they been a good party and cultivated its newest member or checked his aptitude beforehand, they could have had a powerhouse. Oh and apparently the MC himself has NO common sense because he doesn’t realize how uncommon his work on the construction site was. What even is this guy? He somehow has both the mentality of a negative kid off the streets who thinks he’s worth nothing AND the mentality of a prodigy that grew up in a family of prodigies so he doesn’t realize that he is a prodigy, but he somehow also knows how much he needs to survive on his own, so he’s handled money and has knowledge of economy prices (what?). This is the weirdest combination of traits in a main character. And again why didn’t he just leave? The party wasn’t wrong, he didn’t appear particularly useful and they weren’t teaching him anything (they apparently didn’t even bother to test his potential in magic). Even he should have been able to see that the hero’s party wasn’t working out for him. I’m seriously getting tired of everyone in this trope unrealistically acting like idiots or assholes or both, and then the MC just gets handed a 100x better life. Aw well; not like I’m gonna NOT read this anyway. If it sells; it sells.
