This is a really early review, but I've seen everything I need to see. The MC is a villain, dumb, and deserved to be kicked out of the party. This is all in the first 5 short chapters, so I won't spoiler tag anything. TL;DR - MC was trying to act like some kind of shadow hero and got called useless and kicked out because literally nobody knew what he was doing. So he frees all the super dangerous monsters he sealed. This is the WORST intro to a kicked out of the hero's party I have ever personally seen. The hero's party presented here isn't dumb, ungrateful, or malicious. Getting kicked out of the party is 100% MC's fault. Why he's dumb: The MC was hired by the hero party to be an alchemist who transforms monster materials into rare items. Apparently, unbeknownst to anyone, he has been going around sealing A and S-class monsters with alchemy. This leads to him in his own words "using more magic power 24/7 than all the adventures on the continent combined" somehow. He only realizes how much magic power he used after he releases all of the seals and decides that the guild master is just an amateur adventurer since he couldn't see how much magic MC was using... HE LITERALLY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIMSELF but okay sure buddy. Since he was sealing all the high level monsters around the continent, he didn't have the magic power to do the one job he was actually hired by the hero to do. When the party magician is tr*sh talking him for literally not being able to do his one job, all he says is "Misha, I've made great efforts and contributions to the party. You understand that, right?" What kind of vague clown self-defense is that? The priest talks about him not doing his job and he thinks to himself how she's disrespectful since she became a priest thanks to him, but in the same thought, he says that she seems unaware of him affecting her career. Thought by MC, "Is it so strange that I, as an alchemist, can't alchemize items?" What a s*upid line. It should be obvious that it's strange and he needs to explain to the people hiring him what he can actually do. Why he's a villain: After he gets kicked out of the adventures guild, since he literally can't fight or use alchemy skills the party needs, he throws a temper tantrum and frees all of the A and S-class monsters he sealed at once. He even went to one of the 4 major magical dragons to unseal it and it says "If you release me, it'll be a disaster! It'll become an unimaginable mess!!" Our "heroic" MC doesn't care and sets it free anyway. Him freeing these monsters leads to how I know he was sealing them in secret. Once they're all released, there are monsters running around and even the guild master said he had never heard of some of them. So he wasn't even reporting these extremely dangerous monsters around the continent, but expected people to value him... Now I'm sure he'll run off somewhere else and openly protect whatever land he's going to end up in and all the pretty girls will "appreciate" him for what he does unlike the silly hero's party and guild master who couldn't read his mind or stalk him and see him doing good stuff in the background. Save your time and don't touch this story.
