Novels where at least one of the leads is thought to be poor/weak when they really weren't

Sometimes, romance and the many love interests make good novels mediocre or rubbish, so this list has the top novels that either don't have romance at all, just bromance or some romance but no harem.... more>>

All of them are action and adventure novels or both and are at the top of any series ranking list, so happy reading! <<less

*please recommended more like this to me. SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME AND WANTED!*

Korean Novels about men who have either reincarnated, got a second chance, transmigrated, or woke up in another body; into noble sons, side-characters, villains, or extras. They sometimes have animal companions, and definitely have loyal followers.  <<less

No romance or harem.

novels that either I finished, felt like I’ve ridden an emotional roller coaster, felt like I’ve gain new insights, became addicted to the point of binge reading it, or feel like my time wasn’t wasted.... more>>

 If romance : unconditional love, devoted love, loyalty, non toxic traits, etc. I love relationships of which who would love each other no matter what or wouldn’t care if the world is against them, and they’re willing to wait for the other even if it meant for an eternity. Or just lovers respecting e/o. I rarely like any harems, not my cup of tea and sometimes would prefer the none-romance route tbh.

If story : the characters, accounting, morals, lessons, plots, world building, rating, the pace, the ending, etc. must be taken into account. If I have no complaints, then the story must be decent.

I’m a naturally picker and have a short attention span reader so it’ll take me a while to actually get immersed into a novel intensely. 

Or just a novel that caught my eyes or I wanna try. 

The novels aren’t in order. So there’ll be Seinen, Shoujo, Shounen-ai, shoujo-ai, kr/jp/ch, mature, lighthearted/heavy material, etc. in between. It’s too hard to sort them out.

I also added some songs that fit the vibes of each novels or characters ^~^) remember to check these cool songs. <<less

Some of the novels I have read and liked.... more>>

Only like the top 15 are in order the rest are in random order. <<less

Honorable mentions not on the site Birth of the Demonic Sword (8), The beginning after the end (7)... more>>

The ranking order is not entirely accurate <<less

Novels I'm done reading. Some of these have manhwa adaptations.

Transmigration + Apocalype... more>>

Second chance + Apocalype <<less

No description.

May or may not have overpowered protagonists. Their backstories and personalities sometimes hit way too close to home that I feel as if the author is doing this as a personal threat to my life. You'll have your everyday dose of the sacrificial bastard™ as well, wouldn't you like that?... more>>

Also, this list is probably generic as shit, the only thing different is you'll be getting my unwarranted opinion. <<less

settings: ranker system, fantasy world, and urban fantasy... more>>

focus: protagonists that are super overpowered and may be hiding their true identities/abilities for different reasons

note: i'm adding novels as i read them, so not all novels fitting the criteria will be here. pls give me recs! i love lazy overpowered protagonists the most (ง・▽・)ว

the list goes from #1 (my favorite) to least favorites (but still very good)
i'll be compiling and modifying this list as i read. <<less

Honestly, this is just to help with my poor brain think that I'm OP as hell, but in reality we're all normies. Power fantasy's, Harem,... more>> and some aristocracy. Some stories make you feel emotions you thought you couldn't feel by reading words, but ok <<less
