Review of Banished From The Hero's Party, I Decided To Live A Quiet Life In The Countryside

I should mention first that the title of the anime is a lie. In a way it is very similar to the chilling in my 30s series, as both pretend to be chill/relaxing, but instead continuously have a LOT of combat/drama going on for the majority of the episodes. Most of it is low quality isekai template stuff, so don't expect anything. Setting In this world, god gives all living things something called "blessing". This is basically your "class" / "role" in role playing games. your blessing will actually affect your personality while giving you certain buffs and debuffs eg: a sword master blessing will make youfeel happy when you use a sword and unhappy if you don't . And finally we can "level" up our blessing by killing someone with a higher level than you. there's also skills which are separate from blessing.

Plot
MC's sister is hero and they need to defeat demon king. One of the party members forces MC to leave (secretly), as MC is relatively weaker compared to other party members. MC goes out to a remote village and starts a pharmacy. meets a princess he helped in the past, and starts living together. pretty chill until now. and suddenly we have drugs, kids taking drugs, overdosed deaths, overdosed madness where people kill each other, kidnapping, blackmail etc.. well, you get the point. It escalates really fast after episode 3.

Characters
This is a generic show filled with generic characters. Usually, isekai uses some kind of past trauma to create drama, but this show uses the blessing concept. that a person struggling to not let the blessing affect their character.
nobody will watch this show for characters, as none of them will be worth remembering even while watching.

Overall
The main problem is obviously the generic-ness of the show and how it drops all the pretense about slow life within the first three episodes. and even in terms of an average isekai, i wouldn't place it very high. Even after the whole season, i have no idea who the villain of the show is. people die, and smh come back to life by using heal -_-. In fact, in the climax arc there are 3 characters who died once (the demon, 2 members of hero party). So, i recommend not taking this seriously. just don't question anything or anyone. just accept that things happen and characters do stuff because we need to move forward until the next episode.

If you are bored and just want something as background noise, this is an okay show. I literally mean background noise because if try to actually listen/watch, you might be enraged by all the plot holes and bad writing.
