Well now I feel stupid writing about poison and paralysis potions in a previous chapter, when this time he's straight up got an EXPLOSIVE POTION. Why did everyone in his old party (including the MC himself) think that he had no offensive capabilities??? He's got bombs! This isn't even like throwing the bottles directly at enemies or the potion parry where he just never thought of them before (stupid as that was), what use would an explosive potion have if not for offense - demolitions work? Why even have the whole "expelled from the party" trope if it only exists to make everyone involved look so unfathomably stupid that it actually goes beyond my ability to suspend disbelief?
