It just sounds like Mashle again.
Which itself was just Black Clover again.
"I'm the wizard that can't do magic! Ooooh!"

Well, yes.
You can probably name another 10 shows or mangas that have the same concept just from the last two years, if you'd remember their names.
lets check:
1. Black clover and this show - both have MCs that can't do magic (I didn't watch Black clover for long because MC was unbearable, but I bet he actually can use magic but his sword/body eats it or whatever - same thing will probably happen here.)
2. the world thinks they are garbage because they can't use magic.
3. Both characters have some kind of childhood friend who is a prodigy.
4. both will obviously try to reach whatever dream they have and never give up
5. both use swords in a magic world
Guess where the story will go.
As I said, I like these kind of stories. If Black Clover didn't have such a bad MC, I'd have watched it.
These kind of stories and pointers are basically found in just about every other anime show there is in one form or another. (except the magic/sword stuff which, obviously, won't always fit in every setting)
From Haikyuu to Ballroom to Naruto to this, and that's why I watch them.
Another few tropes that fit in that kind of story setup are.
"Revenge after being kicked out of the hero's party"
"I killed the demon king but no one knows"
"My cheat skill was considered weak but is the strongest"
etc. (it's actually extremely funny because I just made these names up, but I'm 100% sure they are actually anime/manga names)
To a certain degree these are all underdog stories because the worlds they live in usually don't expect anything from them. Then they surprise everyone and everyone is flabbergasted
edit:
oh that reminds me, this season has a show where these two fit
It's called "Hazurewaku", no idea what the name means, but it's basically a version of this other anime we had a while back where MC got tossed away in a dungeon and he had to eat monsters to gain super skills, which wasn't just stupid but became something beyond "super stupid" due to him using guns and other nonsense. (which was the point where I stopped watching it)"Revenge after being kicked out of the hero's party"
"My cheat skill was considered weak but is the strongest"
Blabla Goddess summons class, class gets super power, he got a shity B-rank one (that's sleeper-op), even the losers he had friendly relationships with hate him, but that one class-press girl doesn't
Blabla finding new companions and swearing to kill everyone from his old class + the goddess.
I think that description also applies to the other show I was referencing, lol.
