“I don’t want incompetent people. Get out of my party right now!” The protagonist, Kagura, was shouted down by the hero and was told he was fired. The hero’s party consisted of Kagura, the hero and three girls. Even though he knew the lowly inner thoughts of the hero, Kagura still accepted the fact he was fired. Kagura was a knight of the church.Because of his position, he could not quit on his own, but it was natural for him to stay in the wild and eat preserved food. He was fed up with the harsh journey of defeating the Demon King and the constant lack of sleep because he was always on guard duty. Fired? That would be great! I’ll take this opportunity to quit the church, get my severance pay, and then take over the family business and relax!The three girls who used to be part of the hero’s party came to see Kagura, who had been exiled in high spirits. “If Kagura-sama isn’t with us, there’s no reason for us to be in that hero’s party!” …… Apparently, all of them were in the party for me, not the hero.

## My Thoughts on The Hero Banished Me Saying, “I Don’t Want Incompetents,” but All My Other Friends Followed Me Okay, let's dive into "The Hero Banished Me Saying, “I Don’t Want Incompetents,” but All My Other Friends Followed Me." That title alone promises a certain kind of story, and while it delivers on some fronts, it stumbles on others. ### First Impressions Right off the bat, the premise is appealing. The MC getting kicked out of the hero's party is a well-worn trope, but the *why* in this story is a little different. The hero is portrayed as a lustful idiot more concerned with building a harem than saving the world, which sets the stage for some potential comedic moments and a satisfying power shift. However, my initial enthusiasm was tempered by some execution issues. ### What Works Well I did appreciate the quick gratification aspect. The story wastes no time in showing the hero's poor judgment and the MC's value. It's satisfying to see the other party members immediately recognize the hero's mistake and ditch him. The concept of the MC being a dancer, a priest of a dancing god, is an interesting spin and offers a unique fighting style. It has the potential to subvert the typical "slow-life" fantasy, injecting action into an otherwise mundane setting. ### Areas of Concern Unfortunately, the execution is where this story falls short. Several readers, including myself, found the writing to be choppy and lacking detail, particularly in fight scenes. There's a sense that information is missing, leaving me confused about the world's magic system and the nuances of the MC's abilities. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Now, let's address the elephant in the room: the problematic content. One reviewer highlighted instances of sexual harassment and attempted rape, which, if accurate, are a serious red flag. The lack of consent and the disturbing power dynamics described paint a very different picture than the "fluffy comedy romantic relationship" the story seems to aim for. This is something potential readers should be aware of before diving in. ### Final Verdict Ultimately, "The Hero Banished Me..." is a mixed bag. The premise is intriguing, and the initial setup offers some satisfying moments. However, the poor execution, lack of detail, and potentially problematic content make it difficult to recommend wholeheartedly. It's a short read, so if you're curious and willing to overlook its flaws, give it a shot. But be warned, it might not be the lighthearted wish-fulfillment story you were expecting.
