## My Thoughts on Summoner Who Was Expelled at a Power Harassment Meeting, Aims to Become the Strongest by Forming a Party With an Old Friend – It’s Too Late to Come Back Now. Eh? Just Lend Me the Summoned Beast? I’m Sorry but I Refuse~ Okay, let's dive into this title – which, by the way, is a *bit* of a mouthful, isn't it? Summoner stories are always fun, so I went in with fairly high expectations. After reading a bit, here are my thoughts. ### First Impressions The premise is definitely intriguing. We've got your classic underdog summoner, unfairly ousted, and now he's on a path to prove everyone wrong. It’s a trope I enjoy, and there's a certain satisfaction in watching a character rise above adversity. ### What Works Well The core appeal, for me, lies in the wish fulfillment aspect. It's fun to see the protagonist team up with a childhood friend and start forging their own path to power. If you're looking for a light read with a satisfying sense of progression, this could be right up your alley. ### Areas of Concern However, it's not without its flaws. I found the world-building to be a little inconsistent. It seems like there's a blend of modern elements thrown into a typical fantasy setting, and the fusion isn't always seamless. This can lead to some head-scratching moments where you're left wondering exactly what kind of world you're in. Plus, I can see how some readers might find the main character a bit too passive for their liking. He's definitely the "nice guy" archetype, which can be a strength, but also a weakness if not handled carefully. ### Final Verdict Overall, "Summoner Who Was Expelled…" is a decent read if you're in the mood for a fairly standard light novel. It's not groundbreaking, but it offers a familiar and comforting power fantasy. Just be prepared for some potentially jarring world-building inconsistencies and a protagonist who might not always take the most decisive action. If you can look past those issues, you'll probably find some enjoyment here.
