The Jack-of-all-Trades Who Was Kicked Out of The Hero's Party ~ A Swordsman Who Worked as an Enchanter Due to Party Circumstances Rises to Become a Master of All Trades

F*** me that's a title.  I can see why the localization team wanted to abbreviate it to Jack of All Trades, Party of None.  

This is one for the "Another Bloody" file.

As in, "it's another bloody isekai adjacent j-fantasy series about an adventurer who is kicked from the Hero's party of total arseholes for being Not Good Enough and discovers he's actually amazing".  Like, this is almost exactly the same series as The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become The Strongest just with a slightly different art style.  This ground is so thoroughly well-trodden at this point it's legally an eight-line interstate highway.

Spoiler

The introduction is pretty much a form letter.  The one noteworthy minor deviation from the usual is that the Hero is the only one NOT being a dick about it.  He's trying to keep things professional and explain the practical need for a dedicated support mage, and it's the rest of the party who are being high-and-mighty jerks about how he's "only" really good at a lot of things instead of being great at one thing.  

Then it's straight back to formula with the protag soloing a dungeon and rescuing a girl who's been abandoned by her party so he has someone to monologue about how he's totally awesome while he fights.  

It's not an isekai series, but the world is inexplicably organized around terminology borrowed from MMORPGs.

Definitely seems like it's going to be a skip-worthy snoozefest with nothing to show for itself.

I watched it.  I agree with all you said.  That title is crazy.
