“I see… As I thought, today was your birthday, Lewin! …Alright! Then, from today, you’re fired.”
For five years, I was trampled on and oppressed as I worked myself to death for the Healer’s Guild, but on my fifteenth birthday, I was fired.
I wallowed in frustration and self-pity while I despaired… but you can’t eat tomorrow’s fill just by despairing.
In the Healer’s Guild, I was just the odd jobs boy who was in charge of bookkeeping and classifying the medicinal herbs, but after being fired, my ultimate skill, [Plant Master] blooms.
This is the story of the dramatic turn of events where the boy who possesses the ultimate [Plant Master] skill climbs up from the very bottom of society.



While there are common drawbacks to this type of story, a particular issue I have with this one is the underutilization of the protagonist's unique plant-based ability. Initially, the novel emphasized the significance of this skill in turning the protagonist's life around, but I feel the author could have delved deeper into exploring its potential and creative applications. For instance, the character briefly uses plant-based tools like makeshift bombs and adhesive slime, but these instances don't quite capture the full extent of the skill's capabilities, especially given the title and the initial setup.
A major spoiler follows, so proceed with caution:
In a pivotal moment, the protagonist finally reunites with the girl he has feelings for and her group. They had agreed earlier that he would join them once he gained strength, considering his initial weakness. After dedicating over a year to self-improvement, he manages to locate them in a distant city, only to face rejection from the girl who had eagerly awaited his arrival. Instead of accepting him, she sets an absurd condition – for him to create his own party, catch up with them, and then abandon his newfound companions to join hers.
This sudden turn of events feels illogical and demands patience. It seems like the plot is relying on manufactured conflict rather than genuine character development or progression. Introducing drama just for the sake of it feels lazy, as it distracts from creating new, meaningful plot points and forces the characters into repetitive cycles.
Despite these issues, I still find the story entertaining. The author occasionally devotes too much attention to trivial details, like a lengthy chapter devoted to a shopping spree with no clear purpose. Overall, until Chapter 184, it was a fun read. I'm hoping the narrative improves, so I'll continue and update my review accordingly.
The story's shift towards a hero battling a demon army frustrated me numerous times, as it felt forced and took away from the potential of exploring the MC's unique abilities and character development. Overall, my experience reading this story was marred by these issues.
Fortunately, there are instances where other characters interrupt him or point out his excessive gratitude, but nobody has yet addressed his need for self-awareness and character development. As someone who也曾有过类似的过度道歉, I empathize, but it can be challenging to read about.
Nonetheless, I am enjoying the story overall, though I wish the conclusion of Volume 2 didn't feel quite as forced. A compelling training montage is always appealing, but it's crucial to respect the deceased and use their loss for character growth, rather than introducing a plot to revive them artificially.
While I'm not entirely against the forced changes of setting, I genuinely hope Lewin encounters more diverse characters in his journey. His reluctance to burden others often accelerates his personal growth when others step in, whereas his independent efforts progress slowly.
