So, two chapters and the MC has contracted a loli (because of course he did) and a country-sized dragon.
Right. Not rushed at all.

And all he did was... hold on to the lizard he summoned. Everything else was the story progressing without him.
  • The job is randomly assigned. No choice.
  • The summon is randomly assigned. No choice.
  • The exile was forced on him. Quite obvious, but... yep, no choice.
  • The lizard changed into a loli and just carried him around. No choice.
  • The lizard-loli makes him contract a country-sized dragon. No choice.

I hate stories where the MC has no agency. In this case, he had one single moment of choice, and he did well there, but that's all.
He's got a near-invincible dragon, possibly two (not sure how strong the dragon princess is) and the job of just collecting more.
And he did so very little to deserve it.

I'll give it one more chapter, but it's off to a bad start.

Just going to reply for fun and maybe help explain:
1. She’s not a loli lmao, she is LITERALLY a child, she was just born. A loli is an adult the size of a child and acts like one. Your interpretation is wrong
2. We don’t know how his class works, at all, clearly, because she was alive at some point, but was a long ass time ago clearly because of where lindwurm(100% spelt wrong but meh, idc) was resting. So I guess she’s kinda a loli if his class recreates the body of whatever is hatching. Which wouldn’t make sense since she hatched as a small gecko sized lizard but is a dragon, and that shouldn’t be her fully grown size.
3. The exile… was kinda dumb but I guess if your in the kings shoes, one dude hatched the little gecko, where the other hatched a literal griffin. He did make a premature decision is exiling him, but as far as these stories go, it’s not the worst reason to exile someone.
4. As for him doing very little to deserve it… I mean yeah of course he did so little, it’s luck. She called his class divine beast tamer, sounds like he pulled an SSR when he tripped and hit his head on the spin gatcha button, but that’s the point of the story lmao. Bro got a broken class, so let’s follow him on his journey.
…that’s all I got and this is too much typing now,
Skittlz out.

1. & 2. As you recognize it, she has knowledge and behavior way beyond her age. Aside from the fixation on "Mama", she's acting adult. In anything, she's the one acting at all in this story so far. That said, I disagree with your definition. I've seen this term used even when talking about actual children. The term "lolibaba" would fit your definition more.
3. You've got a griffin summoner, so the lizard summoner does look underwhelming. Still, it's dumb to dismiss him entirely, in particular in light of their ability to tame (and possibly summon?) more beasts. In comparison, blaming the MC for bad RNG is plain dumb. As you stated there are worse excuses to exile someone, but it's still a pretty poor one. However, I originally didn't say anything about how justified it was: I only mentioned that this was another lack of agency on the part of the MC. Neither the summoned beast nor the decision to leave were his.
4. "It's luck." Good stories can show a MC who has luck, tons of it even, but more importantly he has to be the one to capitalize on it. If he has luck, but only the support cast makes decision and takes action, the MC has no place in his own story. A character that just has luck but doesn't actually act isn't all that interesting, to me at least.

Overall, I don't mind any of these points individually. My problem is that in two chapters, there has been one single decision made by the MC: keeping the lizard, even while threatened by the king. This one detail is the reason I'm still giving this story a chance. That's a single display of agency, but it's a decent one with setup and consequence.

No, it is still bad.

Not everything hatches fully grown, and the name of the class is a huge factor. Sacred means they are more then just physical, so it is idiotic to judge them before seeing what type of sacred beast it actually is and what it can do.

Unless they could confirm 100% it is a useless creature with nothing special to it reacting like that withing minutes of it hatching is beyond idiotic.

The king is an idiot who has no patience and can not see beyond the right now.

Yup, feels like the protagonist is just for a ride. His personality certainly doesn't help.

The setting itself is a stretch as well. His profession had the highest assigned rank (S) from the beginning, and yet the king banished him because his summoned beast resembled a lizard instantly after having hatched? Are we dealing with adults here or little, angry kids?

Shit is way too convenient. We’ve been set up with the plot of whatever his power should have been. A childhood-friend-should-have-been-lover. As well as the obvious antagonist.

We’ll see the mc get on with his convenient progress, but I hope the author does not forget that it has also set up the questions to the plot. Is this just a marriage by order of the king now? Or was it mutual and just needed the king’s acknowledgment?
Either way, our mc seems to not be able to forget her, so now that he has the dragons, he should at the very least check in on her.

I’ve read a few like this in the past. Sometimes, they end up making the girl on the side of the antagonist, or sometimes they completely forget about it as the mc lives on with his new life. The good ones would actually give the childhood friend, redemption. Unfortunately though, I mostly remember that the childhood friend, even with the good ending, doesn’t get to become the lover.

Why are authors so lazy, that they have to flashback what literally happened in the previous chapter. At least make the MC suffer and be ostracized by more than a third of a chapter. I feel no sympathy for the MC because the story does a poor job of conveying what he had to go through.

A lot of these stories don't even put in the effort to make the MC work for their abilities, it's always just oh not my power that is actually the strongest power was not recognized but the moment I am kicked out of my party/country I suddenly manifest my super powerful ability.

Still going to give this manga a chance to see how the part about developing the dragon continent plays out but even amongst the pile of hero banishment trash I have read so far this opening has been disappointing.

first off...loli is a term used for already sexualy active pre-teens; the term "loli" comes from the movie "Lolita"

It's darkly amusing to me that even clumsily written "forced" scenarios in fiction like this cause many of us to grit our teeth a little. We've all seen or been subjected to the whims of people with dubious merit backing their titles who enjoy abusing power and who possess less foresight and patience than a small child.

I find myself often unable to see much difference tbh. Adults have just learned to contribute to a collective veneer of maturity and professionalism half the day, and so the many large, angry kids aren't immediately noticed.
