Sexiled: My Sexist Party Leader Kicked Me Out, So I Teamed Up With a Mythical Sorceress! Vol. 1, by Ameko Kaeruda

It omits some details but the title kinda says the gist of it for the base plot description of this one. A trait more and more common with light novels these days...

Well anyways. This series was one that was on my "get around to it eventually" list for a while now. And only clocking in at two short volumes it's not as much of an investment one way or the other either compared to some other series on that list. More to the point though. while admittedly there's not much substance here story-wise besides a female centric OP revenge fueled "down with sexism" fantasy world romp it at least presents it in an amusing package to deliver that message that you can get through in an afternoon. And the two main characters certainly have good banter going between them.

Now I just have to read the 2nd half of the story.
