It could be worse.

Not sure how, but it could be.
They really cheaped out with the animation this episode. This continues to be a shame because it's one of a small number of shows that has main characters actually acting like adults in their relationship progress.

The world here, though, continues to be wildly dark. Forget the Demon Lord, Ruti and her party need to go kill the gods who set this system up.

I'm a sucker for these as well.

Who among us has not had that fantasy, abusive workplace or no?

That said, it's interesting how the story the OP series here is based on is different from all the similar stories. Like, the guy wasn't as much banished as one of the party members pretty clearly manipulated him for their own gain. Half the party immediately threw a fit when they found out he was gone, the other half quickly realizing it was a mistake soon after. And that's with the main character having a very specific blessing that's essentially "Training Wheels for the Hero Until They Outgrow Them". But even that's not his real strength, it's all the knowledge and experience he's gained around his and others' blessings and all the adventuring organizational skills he developed on his own.

Again, a real shame the series has been overlooked. It's not some epic fantasy story, but it's a lot deeper than the usual fare.

Here's a similar one to look into...

There's always another manga with a vaguely similar premise to check out.

In this case, (deep breath) A Sword Master Childhood Friend Power Harassed Me Harshly, so I Broke off Our Relationship and Made a Fresh Start at the Frontier as a Magic Swordsman.

It's been really slow with updates (the last was 3 months ago) The Childhood Friend / Girlfriend is a hyper-competent Sword Master that's under a lot of stress now that she's head knight and a noble and, well, she totally takes it out on the Main Character. For his part, he's not overpowered, just merely competent in both sword and magic. But after dealing with the abuse, he breaks up with her as both boyfriend and adventure party member and sets off on his own.
