Actually, isn't the "Exiled from the Party" genre a lot more satisfying when the protagonist was great from the start, and their old party just didn't realize it?
If the protagonist gets a random power-up the day after being thrown out, that's just luck, isn't it?
Like if I were fired and then I won $100 000 000 on the lottery next day, it's nice, but not really relatable.

That kind of event is better in a "Betrayed by the Party" scenario, where you were about to be killed as they threw you to the monsters, but a fluke upset their sinister plan and gave you the power to fight back against certain doom. There, the point is the revenge, a fantasy where the bad guy loses for once.

You pretty much nailed it.

This just isn't very good. The story is full of dumbass characters that are hostile to the main character for no other reason than the story needing them to be, gotta make him the underdog after all. Very sloppy writing with subpar translation making it more frustrating to read than it really needs to be.

Overall this is a 4/10, not the worst thing I've ever read, but the person who wrote the story should probably take a couple writing classes and try again in the future.
