Transitions and the direction of following chapters in a manga are an under-appreciated aspect of a story. As such, if the flow of the story is lacking in any way, the experience is uncomfortable and there’s no interest able to form. This, along with the cliches and generics, causes this manga to be nothing less than subpar.

Of course, with the abundant amount of the classic kicked out of the hero’s party trope, there’s a lot of comparisons to be made or “uninspired” details in the plot that surfaces with the lack of originality. The plot line of this manga is no exception to that fact, as every cliche aspect of a “kicked out of the hero’s party” trope that you can think of is applicable (Harem, a party member that liked the mc, party sucks afterward, etc.).

The characters, to no exception, are run-of-the-mill generics that really don’t have or develop a personality that defines them besides for possessing one or two “unique” qualities that are supposed to be memorable, but in reality, aren’t. 

The drawn-out pacing and randomly inserted conversations with the lack of explanations causes this reading experience to be no more than mediocre. It could’ve been better than what it amount to, but the abundance amount of characters being added retracts away from any connection to be formed to one through three characters. Quality is better than quantity, but the author seemed to not have realized this when he added unnecessary plot lines or details.
