I Stopped Working Because I Was Expelled From the Hero's Party Who Denounced Me as a Coward

It needs a comedy tag. That's what holds this together.

The story makes little sense but the comedy works.
Sex appeal is all about muscle in this fantasy world and people go to school to get muscular? What? Why are they sitting in classrooms instead of hitting the gym/hiking/swimming/lifting? Self-study is doing pushups next to classroom desks? Teacher looks as bored as the kids - someone didn't think this through.

Why hire nutcracker - cheap-shot sensei to begin with? To teach people how to show off their muscles? His whole shtick is hiding his strength and catching foes by surprise.

Why do the bandits try to ambush a target in broad daylight outside his house, and show they're too honorable to use cheap shots or see them coming? Goblins are smarter than these twits. This manga makes sense like sex at a bank drive thru, but it delivers a consistent chuckle whenever MC bends his opponents over with a kick to the bag.

What might make it funnier: if he slapped more often. So far, this isn't martial arts, and it's barely slapstick comedy. Just imagine if he taught that elf girl joint locks, pressure points, subduing techniques, judo, sumo, baggua, or aikido. Imagine if elf wasn't jk slim but more "It's My Life" loli. There's a vast land of funny (and revenge fantasy) here that the author and artist leave untapped. Maybe that's why it's not comedy tagged. They landed in comedy inadvertently, after the plot fell down some stairs.
 
It’s like everyone in this manga expect to have a formal engagement before fighting. Even the bandits broooo. Like you’re bandits...you should be doing worse things than him!
 
lol, he has no honor as a warrior. but one of my philosophies is victory at any cost so... he's taking it to the extreme but yeah lol
 
It's a broken world but it took the opener too seriously for me to be immersed. In reality it's a comedy manga about being a scumbag, I don't think there was a need to open with a real plot. The made it a super serious betrayal for no reason when they dick around for the other 3 chapters. Definitely worth a read and what not but i feel it should commit more to the entertaining comedy and less to the world building, plot and dialogue.

It has some really funny scenes where Bandits who murder cry about honor and such. Teachers getting kicked and shitting themselves and people freaking out about everything.
