About the Book

Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells is a gripping isekai light novel that takes the classic “summoned hero” setup and flips it completely. When the weakest student gets discarded like trash by a goddess, he does not break. He builds himself into something far more dangerous than anyone expected.

From the Back Cover

What happens when the boy labeled a failure refuses to stay one? Taken from his world and thrown away by a goddess who deemed him useless, Mimori Touka discovers that low-level spells can become absolute weapons in the right hands.
