“You’re exiled from this party, you’re a woman after all.”

“What!?”

“Women really should be recovery magic ‘healers’, after all. A sorcerer’s a bit…”

“Whaaaaaatt!?!?!?”

Putting in enough effort to spill blood, the female adventurer named Tanya who had finally reached the highest class of sorcery was one day abruptly told “because you’re a woman” as the reason to be kicked from her adventurer party.

While barraging the now desperate wasteland with super-advanced magic, the legendary grand witch Laplace appeared and said,

“You, shall we form a party?”

“Seriously!?”

“However, if you’re a sorcerer our characters will overlap so be a magic swordsman. The level will be maxed from the beginning.”

“Seriously!?!?!? (while pulverizing a last-boss-class dragon)”

The grand witch (Legendary) and magic swordswoman (MAX Level) slapstick light-yuri adventure starts here!

Huh? The adventurer school’s examination? Since I was a woman, points were deducted across the board (fumes).

There are generally 2 types of feminist stories.

One kind (the good kind) elevates women and shows that they can do anything. The message of those stories is that you shouldn't discriminate.

The second type (the bad ones) puts down men and blames them for all of women's problems. They constantly discriminate against men and seem to be completely unaware they're doing it.

... more>> This story is the second kind.

But before we get too deep into that, lets talk about the good stuff.

The art is really nice. It doesn't look like the generic anime style you see everywhere. It still looks pretty anime, but it's got a more pastel vibe to it which is nice and suits the story.

The main characters are unique from each other and have actual backstories that matter to the story. They get some actual character development even if it can be summed up in 1 sentence.

Also, this is the first spell you hear cast.
Spoiler

F*ck you! From twilight I summon the ultimate destruction!ASHES TO ASHES! DUST TO DUST! HEED MY CALL! AND UNLEASH YOUR MIGHT! UNLEASH YOUR MIGHT! EXPLOSION! GO TO HELL!!!

[collapse]

Now on to the bad things. It's kind of hard to talk about any specific subject like worldbuidling or plot separate from the feminism because it's so tightly intertwined. There are some plot holes but they're not that serious and aren't worth spoiling to talk about.

Like I said, this story spends all it's time blaming men for the character's problems (they're all girls). The characters say that the message is "women can do anything" but the author waste most of the words pushing down men. You could take out about 1/3 of the chapters and the story would be completely unaffected and you'd still get a good idea of how misogynist the world is.

For example near the beginning of vol. 2 the characters go out of their way to complain about how men are the professional chefs in the world despite everyone saying they want food like their mother made. There's no side story about it, there's no resolution or anything resembling a plotline. They just do interrupt the story out of no where and move on. And this constantly, randomly happens. This isn't in spoilers because there's nothing to spoil.

A lot of the stuff doesn't even make sense if you take the time to think about it, but it's not worth going into detail. If I did this review would never end.

It's clear that this world wasn't built to be interesting; instead the author seemed to come up with single case of discrimination they could come up with and molded the world around that.

It would be fine if the world just happened to be misogynistic, because medieval times weren't exactly the best for women, but the author goes out of their way to make sure you know that men are the problem.

This novel commits the sin of making it an "us vs them" issue. "Us" obviously being women and "them" being men. The problem is that in every issue, whether it's sexism, racism, etc. It's never that simple. There's also some people on the other side who side with you, but in this novel it's not the case. That's a dangerous mentality to take.

There isn't a single named man who is against misogyny. All of them are sexist bad guys. It takes until the end of vol. 2 for a single explicit instance of a man being nice to the girls. And he doesn't even have a name. It's just throwaway guy to say something so the author can pretend they didn't spend the last 2 volumes telling people that every single man is a sexist pig.

You'd think that at least some of the male children they play with would have names so that they could raise the next generation of men to not be sexist. But not only aren't they named, it's never even explicitly stated that any of the children are boys. So there's a wasted opportunity.

But even worse than just blaming men for everything, the author does things they would definitely find abhorrent if the roles were reversed. For example
Spoiler

near the beginning of vol. 2 again the girls are running a food stall at a festival. A man passing by says that the girls should be in bikinis. So one of the girls cuts the clothes he's wearing up so that it looks like a bikini.

[collapse]
While this was fine for a comedic moment (I mean, it wasn't even that funny but neither is the rest of the novel) it doesn't jibe well in a feminist story. If it was the man doing it to one of the girls he definitely been the bad guy. But it's okay for a girl to do that?

You could try to claim that the author was saying it's fine because the girls were getting revenge for something the guy did, but that's literally the motivation of the main bad guy.

Well, kind of. The author is kind of wish washy about that.
Spoiler

One minute his ultimate goal is immortality, the next it's getting revenge on women because the women in his life left him, the next it's creating the ultimate weapon, the next it's making a bunch of girls his obedient s*aves.

[collapse]

I could go on and on about the problems with what this author thinks is feminism, but the point is that they discriminate against men even though the message in my opinion should be that you shouldn't discriminate.

Even if you somehow ignore all the feminism that the author shoves in your face it's hard to give the story more than a 3. The story is average at best and the writing isn't anything exceptional. While the characters are relatively good, they don't get enough time to shine because they have to constantly be complaining about the sexist society they live in.

All in all, it's hard to recommend this story to anyone. <<less

I like this story! It's a nice revenge tale with a cute romance.

But I gotta say, the butthurt reactions are hilarious but tone deaf. Saying sh*t like "this is misandrist" when all of these obstacles are things Japanese women face in modern day to day life. Getting fired because it's assumed they're less capable and should be a baby factory housewife? Getting rejected from prestigious institutions specifically because of their gender, to the point that male test scores are artificially inflated and women's are deflated? Lots of mol*station and s*xual... more>> harassment? All are pretty much ubiquitous in Japan. This isn't unrealistic at all, but a fantasy analogue of real social issues Japanese women face. You think this story is unfair to men? Imagine living as a woman in Japan!

Guys don't have any problem with sexist fantasy worlds when the female characters don't fight back against it. Game of Thrones, Goblin Slayer, Shield Hero, etc. Constant r*pe and racoon s*aves you RAISE FROM CHILDHOOD are totally cool and even hot. But if the women explicitly call it out then they get their feelings hurt. They're mad because there isn't a Kirito-style white knight telling women that they're actually the ones oppressing themselves, but don't worry, you can join his all-woman harem! Affirmative action is fine if it's for his dick! <<less

So very bad. I'm all for stories with strong females and the enodrsment of gender equality, but this is just very poorly written. The two main characters are actually not bad, they don't make sense in context, but as stand alone charcters they are quite nice. They are overpowerd, however that is part of the draw for the genre, and they aren't perfect so human interaction can occur and have effect. Another good aspect is the art. The rest is just crap.

I read the officialy translated light novel so the... more>> translation is fine.

Minor spoilers ahead (and a rant, it is a rant) :

Spoiler
    • We have an immortal sorceress that has been imprisoned for 300 years while fully conscious. She suffers no mental issues from this at all. That is plainly unreasonable story wise. Forget loneliness, can you imagine 300 years of hunger ? Why not say she was asleep for all that time ? Makes much more sense.
    • The main character is a great mage that for some reason attached herself to some human debree and just went along with everything he said and really was the main enabler of his crappy lifestyle. He was her "best friend" in spite of consistenly horrible behavior to everyone including her. One has to imagine he bullied people constantly and she said nothing for years, until he finally fired her, which is ridiculous, becasue she was by far the best asset of the party. If anything, firing her is the nicest thing he did for her. That guy was scum, but I'm not even sure he was particularly sexist. He just used sexism as an excuse for personal gain. If a guy joined the party and allowed everyone to walk all over him in this way, he would have likely been just as abused. I'm sorry, there are crappy people in the world, always being nice is not a valid life strategy and pretending otherwise is unhealthy.
    • The whole backstory of the third chracter is just a riot, it is hilariously bad. This is a larger spoiler, but it is info dumped on you in the book as three passages near the end anyway so this is just a shorter version of that. The story is : She is part of a assassin family with a "blood stained legacy" serving the king. Her father wanted a boy, but forced her to train as an assassin anyway and didn't allow her to be girly. She has excelled at this, but hates it. Years later, the father then forces her to marry some other guy and teach him the assassination techinques (why not the father ?), quit the assassinations and be a mother instead. This is bad not because of the marriage, but because why shouldn't she be forced to do an extremely dangerous job she detests ? How sexist. Then, her whole family is mu*dered by another assassin group also serving the king when she isn't home. They explicitly decide not to kill her, which is bad because it is also sexit. I'm not joking. Not mu*dering her is bad. Why did the king condone one of his groups killing the other is a mystery. Why kill the mother if killing women is no go? Is it good the mother is dead ? Why didn't our insulted assassin seek revenge and prove them wrong ? No one knows. She decides she is at fault for the mu*der of her family beacuse she wasn't born a man, which is ridiculous, and so the obvious course of action is... be exteremly horrible at healing. That is her chosen course in life and she is such a bad healer, she literally can't heal a scratch. The book then explicitly lectures you on how this is not only okay, but great. How dare you ask a person do something they are useful at when they instead can play act and be completely useless ? The party insists on taking her as a healer, even though she really can't heal anything, in place of a normal healer and presumebly just die if they ever get hurt. Why can't she do some other Assassin adjacent job ? Like a ranger or something ? The irony the aforementioned lecture happens just after our former assassin stops pretending to be a healer and actullay uses her assassin techniques to be useful to the team. The absurdity is clearly lost on the author.
    • There is a plot point about there being a huge conspiracy about how mages should show a lot of skin to improve mana circulation so that females dress lightly, but in the story, 95% of mages are male, also beacuse of sexim. Do they also dress in a skimpy manner ? Why would they agree to this ? It is obvioulsy dangerous. Whole thing is silly.
    • There is another section where a chracter complains she keeps getting gifts of choclate from people, and no one bothered to ask her if she likes chocolate, so she has to suffer and eat it. The woe. What horrible life she has. First, most people don't get gifts for no reason, this is already a privilege. Second, you don't have to eat it, just gift it to the poor orphaned children you are visiting twice weekly and have never seen choclate. Third, it isn't weird to assume a person likes choclate, 85% of both sexes like choclate. Saying something like "thank you, but I like salty snacks" isn't that hard. This isn't sexism.
    • It just occurs to me now, but the "healer" complained no one will take a level 3 healer, even though men of the same level do find a job. But men aren't healers, and even if you are a sucky warrior, you can still hold a shield and stand in the way of an attack. You either die, and no one cares, or you get better. However, she is a healer who can't heal and has to be protected. Obviously no one would take her. Also, just heal people in the town until you get better, I'm sure cheap healing services would be popular and if you can't improve, then you are useless as a healer and should stop.
    • The healer is such a chuunibyou, besides being a former assassin with a tragic past, she says things like "Think you can keep up with my dark blade?"
    • There are also other dumb plot holes. Like, the party level being decided by average level even though higher levels are exponentially stronger. The fact the woman who lived her whole life in a sexist society gets suprised and angry about somehow discovering it suddenly, and not the woman who slept for 300 years and came from a much more equal society, who takes things in stride and just acts against it.

Love this. Don't mind the haters talking about 'misandry'. The author was inspired by ACTUAL things that was happening in Japan at the time, where it came out that for decades, a lot (ALL) of the medical schools in Japan were gate-keeping women and even though they would pass the exams, would mark them differently and have men take up the seats in medical schools with the logic that women should/would stay at home to take care of the children so it didn't make sense for them to become doctors.

Almost... more>> everything that happens in this story is basically what a woman in Japan would experience and, seeing how women are treated in Japan and the expectations and career roadblocks they face, I totally see this as more of social commentary.

Love this and love the anger that Tanya has. If you want a good story to read, this is hilarious. And what's hilarious is all these men in the comments talking about how this is 'man-hating'. STFU. <<less

It's like a really poorly written yuri novel without the yuri and 200% more "all men are evil". You can't indulge in this novel, as it's constantly hitting you over the head with a brick.

There's other novels that have handled this topic much, MUCH better. Some more serious, some more light hearted. This novel is just a mess of poorly written ideas and lackluster characters.

(Original review date: June, 17th, 2020)

Spoiler

Reflecting back on this series, and attempting to summurize my thoughts in more detail. It really can be devided in two. The novel it's self and the politics ingraned into it.

As a novel, it's a bland mess of bad isaki trupes and some yuri trupes pushed to extreme. To start with, it's just a mess.


When I said "it keeps hitting you over the head", I meant it a bit more literally. It feels like reading in the park on a relaxing, sunny day and then a kid throws a small rock at you. 'Ok, fine, their just a kid.' You keep reading, a bit later and in comes another rock. Suddenly, you're far more annoyed. Every few paragraphs there's just something that takes me out of it for a few seconds, and by the end I just felt empty.

Now, by it's self the yuri is not bad. It's a running tradition in yuri that all bad guys are men, all girls fawn over MCs, and Transgirls are OPMCs in the making. However, it's just bland here.
What enjoyment I could've had is ruined by plotholes and inconsistantcies. It really only has the worst isaki and yuri has to offer. Somehow *nobody* prior to MCs thought anything was amiss until they came along. Nobody knew how to tailor women's clothing, and nobody was willing to experiment until MCs came along. Somehow abuse was straight out tolerated until MCs came along. It gets worse with each character too. Somehow, nobody thought to train people here, or has heard of it nor do they know what the term "underground movement" means. Somehow, MC never thought to just train new mages without the magic collage. Nobody went off to make and sell real clothing. Nobody even picked up a stick and swung it to learn how to do anything but heal. It's frankly idiotic. Also, it completely ignores the fact that tomboys do exist. Even in Japan. There are men who aren't pigs, and transgirls untransitioned or no would probably try to help anyway.


I understand what it's trying to say. I have to, I know how it is in the real world. But really, I've read better. For example, a novel like Vacant Throne.

In Vacant Throne, MC gets thrown into an isaki fantasyland. Like most isaki worlds it's very (to barrow a term from Isekai'd Shoggoth another good series Isaki, Yuri, Business/Fife Development on that one best in class) schizotech. On one hand, it's very advanced in some areas, on the other humanity literally does not even know how to light a fire normally. But, on the other hand it's actually done very well. Magic can light fires far faster and easier than twigs, a good enough percentage of the population can cast teir 0 spells, and much of the population is overwhelmingly rural and communal. So fires don't go out, plus they burn for longer. MC originally thinks of introducing mechanical methods, but as she starts to get used to the world she also stops thinking about such mechanical methods. There'd be no point, sense magic offers free lighters.
It also, doesn't ignore sexism. Women in the world could be just as strong as men. The *princess* alone could level the capital. How it portrays it though, is far more insidious, dangerous, and furthermore realistic. One great examples happen early on, she gets straight out exploited for her work by a shopkeeper. Within the world, many are sold into s*avery. Often by their own families for money or to settle a debt. Some are captured by bandants or have their villages destroyed and simply put have nowhere else to go. They could be free, but what would they do? With heavy debt, no education, and often dirty lacking basic necessitates. They get trapped. Worse yet, those who are of other races are often beaten and abused with no remorse, often worked until they simply kneel over and die. That's if they don't have a particularly sadistic master anyway.
But, it's also not like it's defacto lack of power either. One great example comes up later. A female elf s*ave, and a renown blacksmith. In Vacant Throne, elves are actually natural engineers. This elf actually is pretty much free. If she actually became free, she'd be liable to be recaptured and sent to a far worse fate than her current life. She has a lazy master who simply part of what she makes and drinks themselves silly. She actually plays a pretty hard game too. Slowly, but surely she uses her position to build connections with those who're more open to "monster" rights and liberties. Undermining the system. MC coming along helped speed this up, crashing like a monsoon she is but only helps speed the process up.
At the same time, "monsters" aren't universally good nor innocent either. Not like "it was the generals fault" sort of way either. Some races are fully sapient and truly do just hate humanity or have just blatantly contradictory physiology and abilities to coexistence. How do you convince humanity to accept an extremely distrustful Naga?

The whole thing is a lot more subtle and insidious than women's clothing not having pockets so we have to buy purses (for lack of a simpler example).

So, when I say, I've seen topics broached better. I mean a lot better a lot better. A lot of real world sexism isn't big and obvious. It can often even end up being misplaced concern, or using that concern to restrict, delay, or outright prevent people from doing things like often happens in medicine as an example.


Overall, it's not well written as a novel. The localizer's choice to call it "sexiled" rather than Tag-Team like here on NU probably isn't helping either. And it's politics could be far better done. Sorry for the rambling wall of text, I just wanted to establish my thoughts.

Disclaimer: this is a review of the LN version, not the WN one. The afterword of volume 2 mentions a lot being different without going into details, so this review might not match up with your actual experience. Why novelupdates doesn't have separate pages for these 2 is beyond me.

It's interesting to see the discrepancies between people's reactions when female characters are used as vehicles for the story VS when male characters are. The usual harem garbage (averages score 3.7, every single female character is a combination of cliches, waifu... more>> tropes, and a grab bag of appearance traits to maximize fetishization and marketability...) certainly seems to agree.

Generally, when a work has something to say the culture and society in which it's made and doesn't pretend it's not a polemic, I feel obligated to judge it based on its own merits. After all, no one in their right mind would complain about the nameless stepmothers in fairytales being too gratuiously evil, or how the pigs in Animal Farm are just caricatures of actual humans - they are so in service of the story and the points that it makes.

With that said, how well you consider this work mostly depends on the extent to which you agree with the author. Assume, for an instance, that the author genuinely believes that all men are irredeemably evil. This, in and of itself, would NOT mean it's a bad story, regardless of one's opinon on this stance. To do so would mean to violate the "be objective" guideline. The only thing to examine, then, would be its execution. On that front, Sexiled delivers.

Tanya and Laplace are both fun to read and write about. Especially Tanya, who, in her first characterization moment, destroyed a boulder after having to deal with a sexist POS

teammate then went on to humiliate him in front of the nation. It's the kind of assertiveness and agency you don't see in most modern Isekai protags (per Sturgeon), without them being some kind of social outcasts beforehand to make the power fantasy more applicable. The core of "MC gets stronger after getting kicked out of the party" is here, but she

  1. isn't mu*derously vengeful like some edgelords about it
  2. more importantly, isn't a world-class badass that they kicked out for no reason - just an above average one that the leader already has a replacement for.
The story can essentially be broken down into multiple "sections" of various length, each of which deals with how a form of sexism manifests in our world. At the end of each volume is a confrontation with what it represents, on first an individual level and later on a systemic level. In both times, the bond between the girls is what lets them triumph. That bond is also explored in the "down time" between action scenes, Tanya and Laplace consoling each other through their pain, though this part could certainly be shown in more depth.

If you read to this point, it should be obvious whether or not this series is to your liking. Taken as a polemic masquerading as a fantasy that it is, the author made a pretty simple and straightforward point: that bigots should be punished. It intuitively makes sense, it fits with most people's ideal of justice, plus the social commentaries are on point courtesy of being literally taken from the headlines. You can just feel the incelness oozing from Maxwell's motive rant at the end of the second book. To the people who think that his goals are nonsensical and serves no purpose other than to soothe his wounded ego: consider yourself lucky for not having to deal with an actual incel before. If most people (that do not already disagree with the point being made) root for the girls, then the author achieved what she set out for.

One glaring issue, however, is the pacing. To end the story in 2 volumes while also showcasing the roots of systemic sexism and Laplace's backstory, the author has to
Spoiler

blame the cause of sexism in the entire country to one person in order to tie up that loose end.

[collapse]

Whether or not she is forced to do so is beyond me, but this really harms the delivery of her points. I understand that the main villains of both volumes are a**holes who ruined the girls' lives and act as metaphors for individual and systemic sexism respectively, but this is going overboard. Maxwell works fine as metaphor, but taken literally it retroactively frames the struggle as a personal rather than a cultural one. A shame considering the true-to-life presentation of sexism in the work, which permeates every aspect of society and will certainly not go away just because
Spoiler

Maxwell is dead.

[collapse]

Regardless, the ending is of a hopeful tone, with a nameless soldier representing all the constraints towards BOTH genders broken for good. Given that the story ends on an open note,
Spoiler

and a love declaration between our two leads

[collapse]
I hope a potential volume 3 will explore the impacts of sexism on men.

On that note, it's funny that "nameless men are all sexist bad guys" is used as a clutch for actual criticism of this LN, but then when a nameless good guy does show up and is not a sexist creep, it's still evidence for the (secret) sexism of its author!? The amount of good guys required in this story is the same as good stepmothers and kind viziers in fables - none, because they are mostly not relevant, except to contrast with the bad ones, which the ending did. Regardless, I think it's perfectly fine to demand of authors add a token Nice Guy in a story explicitly about an oppresed group (physically) destroying the system that mostly benefits those Nice Guys at the girls' expense /s

Honestly, whatever your opinion on the story is, at least it says something about the way we live and what we can learn to be better. That alone puts it over most of the usual stuff churned out by the web novel-industrial complex that is the Japanese publishing industry. It deserves a 4.0 at least, so I will put a 5 to balance things out. Why

novelupdates does not allow decimals is beyond me. <<less

This is a fun but tr*shy novel, with a serious point to make. The book draws attention to various forms of institutionalized sexist attitudes. All the criticisms are fair a very relatable even as a man.

the inspiration for the novel was Tokyo medical universities systematically lowering women’s scores “to be fair to men.” (a mind boggling use of the the word "fair")

the main character and her cohorts are easy to like and sympathise with, and how supportive they are of each other was a real pleasure to read.

the prose... more>> style is unconventional, fast and light. With much of the story being told through dialog alone. In short a good book to read on the bus.

but then the book go's and undermines itself by committing the sin it rails against. I don't know if its by design or by accident, but the book refuse to depict men as complex, nuanced, individuals, instead choosing to see men through a narrow lens of man = sexist.

the reason I won't let this slide for the greater good is before covide-19 I had a job as a glass collector, and in that employment I was being regally groped by ("WOMEN"), which at the time I accepted as an unpleasant part of the job, until "me too" movement started and I was like "ME too", and I found that society was SO unwilling to accept that a (heteros*xual cis man) could be a victim, that it just denied the distress I felt. Hell some people even found it funny and no one thought it was a problem. <<less

It was funny, sweet, and so relatable as a fem gamer. Each character has their own identity and the women all support eachother. It was very modern, funny, interesting and the battles are great.

Generalization is not a good thing, so I kinda understand the uproar against this series.

The main idea/plot is not somehow ingenious, but at the same time, it does not have to be. One should always remember that. Truth to be told, the discrimination displayed in the series is not the main focus or at the very least it is the impression I got from reading the first volume.

Main focus of the first volume is revenge, the start of a new party and the beginning of the romance

[collapse]

The second volume most probably is gonna contain more of a backstory of a Laplace, but that's just a prediction.

So if it is not about discrimination, then about what? About revenge, changing the world, friendship and romance. Sexism displayed in the series is just a background, motor for a story but not the main point. Despite being in the front it is not the main point, so one shouldn't expect that part of a story to be perfect.

If it was displayed realistically, the series would have to lose its lightness and humour.

And so, we can whine why sexism is displayed so unnaturally and because of that say that this series is tr*sh, but at the same time, we can look at this series not as a series about sexism but about reshaping the world and generic romance + adventure combo, which exists in countless versions, about which one does not whine.

At the same time, what do I know? Maybe I'm in the wrong here. Maybe I'm a simpleton for being satisfied with a simple plot and simple humour. But at least I do not feel that it was a waste of my time. <<less

This is a good read if you don't take it seriously and don't put your political ideas into this. In this lore all the men are scumbag and the society views woman as teets and @$$. They even make fun of bikini Armors, lol. It's not edgy and the girls are not man haters perse only sexist haters.

One of the best light Novels I've read. Why do guys get all the fun, girls should also have some. Regardless of what your environment tells you, Sexism is still a very relevant issues even today in conservative societies. It doesn't come out because like the girls in the series, they didn't want to be turned into villains and called names. They just go with it because that's the norm. It highlights some of the problem girls used to suffer from before laws were made to stop it. Now that, that's out of the way..

My god the was fantastic, it's on par with Evil God Average, minus the world building. I avoided it thinking it's just some edgy feminist garbage but it's funny and hilarious feminst garbage. Im glad I've read it. The ending was the one I was most afraid of, usually this kind of story bring in some useless man and the girl falls on love with him because he was kund to them like that mother -daughter story (God I hated it). It's girl power all the way like Evil God Average. It's female power Fantasy like all the male Harem garbage that's produced.

So I haven't read the novel and I don't plan to because this feels like its just "All men are sh*t who look down on women" type of book which just isn't enjoyable to read but...

Let me get this straight, the protagonist was able to join an adventuring party without any issues and continue with that party until they became the highest class of socercy... then once they became super op the party leader decides "Bye, your a women... if you were a healer maybe but being a sorcerer..." but... more>> like... Why hasn't this been an issue before, why is it coming up after they became op... This reasoning is just shitty and forced as all hell...

Then ignoring that bullsh*t theres lines in the description like "points were deducted across the board" which is just needlessly adding sexism. What happened to the line (while pulverizing a last-boss-class dragon)
Are you telling me someone strong enough to defeat a last boss dragon is going to go to an adventurer's school, and someone that strong will be decriminated against...

Seriously... Just the description alone and I can already tell this entire goddamn book will be every single male being sexist for no reason whatsoever... I know sexism doesn't have a reason and its s*upid if people are actually sexist but this book is ignoring the holes in its logic like the party leader having no issue with them being female for a long time then suddenly becoming sexist... Please if your going to make a book thats all about how men are sexist at least make it not have so many goddamn holes in the logic just so you can force down some form of sexism... <<less

The story isn't bad but it's short length prevents in depth character development. We get a motive, and a moderate image of their personalities. However its all without much depth

The premise itself is quite good, a society where men are seen as Supreme and a few woman who are undertaking action to turn the narative on it's head. However most of the in-between stuff is skipped, like going on quests, dealing with hardships etc. It's like a race to the finish.

After c37 a new arc starts but all the main... more>> plot points have already been adressed, so I don't feel like reading further.

Fun to read if you want a short and easy story. <<less
