Ninya only possessed one support skill, 【buff】. As a result, she was unable to participate in the battles. That was Ninya’s assessment within the clan. Finally, the clan decided Ninya was useless and expelled her. Ninya is abandoned in the dungeon by the clan members. Everyone assumed Ninya, who couldn’t fight, would be eaten by the demons in the dungeon. And when Ninya herself gave up on life in the face of the demons— —○Skill 【buff】has attained level 99. Now that it has reached level 99, the skill will now evolve○— A voice from Heaven could be heard. And the clan that had exiled Ninya later collapsed. Nobody had noticed.

## My Thoughts on *Thanks to Being Expelled From the Clan, I Was Released From the Hardship of [Buff]-ing Everyone in the Clan* This title is a mouthful, I know, but it hints at the core of this story: a protagonist finally free from a toxic environment. The web novel follows a young woman, an orphan with a unique buffing ability, who's been mistreated and manipulated by the adventurer clan that took her in. After being expelled, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and, hopefully, healing. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the premise. An underdog story is always appealing, and the idea of a character escaping hardship to find their own path resonated with me. The hints of game elements and fantasy creatures only added to the intrigue. ### What Works Well One of the strongest aspects is the emotional core. The author does a good job of portraying the MC's naivete and lack of common sense as a direct result of her years of abuse and manipulation. I found myself genuinely rooting for her as she slowly begins to recognize her own capabilities and worth. The budding relationship with the noble mage also adds a layer of warmth and companionship to the narrative. ### Areas of Concern The main sticking point for me is the handling of the MC's misunderstanding of her powers. The repetitive cycle of her not realizing her strength, coupled with the lack of clear communication from those around her, does become a bit tiresome. While it's played for comedic effect, the joke wears thin after a while, and it can make the situation feel less believable. The story's resolution felt a bit rushed, leaving me wanting more in terms of the clan's comeuppance. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several plot points are mentioned in other reviews, including the details of the MC's abuse within the clan, the nature of her buffing ability and how it was misunderstood, and the circumstances surrounding her expulsion. It's also revealed that the MC is brainwashed to believe in her own incompetence. If you prefer to go in blind, proceed with caution. ### Final Verdict Despite its flaws, *Thanks to Being Expelled From the Clan, I Was Released From the Hardship of [Buff]-ing Everyone in the Clan* is an enjoyable read, especially if you're looking for a story about overcoming adversity and finding your place in the world. While the repetitive misunderstandings and somewhat abrupt ending hold it back from being truly great, the emotional depth and heartwarming relationships make it a worthwhile experience. I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
