Synopsis

This fantasy story follows Rein, an enchanter capable of assigning "strengthening points" not only to weapons and armor but to virtually anything, with the unique ability to revoke these enhancements at will. One day, his guild unfairly decides he's no longer needed because they believe their equipment is sufficiently enhanced. Disheartened, Rein leaves—but not before reclaiming all the strengthening points he had previously bestowed upon his comrades' gear, instantly turning his own equipment into legendary-level items. Now freed from guild obligations, Rein sets out on a carefree adventurer’s life, utilizing his powerful enchantment abilities to overcome various challenges with ease. As he encounters new companions and beautiful female knights, he embraces his newfound freedom and unstoppable power. With the unique trait of being able to remove enhancements whenever he pleases, his expulsion from the guild ultimately allows him to finally unleash his true potential, creating an exhilarating and satisfying fantasy adventure.

Editorial Reviews

A Comedy Among Isekai Manga

Today, I want to introduce a uniquely offbeat isekai manga, The Exiled Cheat-Enchanter Enjoys a Carefree Second Life. First off, let me be frank: this manga is essentially a comedy. If you're looking for a serious, epic fantasy adventure, I wouldn't recommend this title. The plot itself follows a pretty standard isekai trope: Rein, the strongest enchanter who was unfairly exiled, encounters new companions and embarks on adventures with them. However, the characters' personalities and comedic moments are undeniably quirky—bordering on downright crazy—and as a result, readers' opinions of this manga will likely be sharply divided. If you're a fan of silly, absurdist Japanese comedy manga, then you'll probably find yourself enjoying The Exiled Cheat-Enchanter Enjoys a Carefree Second Life.

I read over 3,000 manga every year across all categories. One of my special skills is listening to the manga others have read and recommending titles that perfectly match their tastes. I’m also a huge anime-loving otaku.
