(Current/ Completed reads)

I’m a sucker for misunderstanding novels. The ones in this list are ones I recommend the most.

Finished Novels Guaranteed: 1v1, HE 

I wish there was a tag just for MCs who seem really weird or suspicious to other characters (and sometimes to us too), so I'm making a list for it. Mysterious MCs will also count, but this is mainly for those who have personalities and/or abilities that are the cause of question to others.... more>>

Type 1 is the genuinely crazy/scary, Type 2 is suspicious background/abilities, Type 3 is personality quirk, Type 4 is environment misalignment, and Type 5 is misleading demeanor. Type A is oblivious and/or in-denial, Type B is begrudgingly aware, and Type C is in the middle ground. What I categorize them as will change once I get to know the MC better.

If it’s not here, I have not read it or hadn't thought of it. Recommend anything if you know one.

Edit: Also do give me a moment to personally read your recs so I can put them on there! I have many things on my reading list, so I will get around to it eventually! 

Another Late Disclaimer: Just so you know, just because it’s on this list doesn’t mean they’re all of the same quality. The point of them being on this list is that they fall under what I think is a “strange MC to other characters”. None of my descriptions are meant to serve anything but an explanation. <<less

A rec list of series where the mc pretends to be a villain for one reason or another.

Some are explicitly Cthulhu mythos, while others just suit the vibe. If it’s got indescribable monsters, unknowable gods, madness-inducing body horror, or mind-bending reality shifts, it’s a good candidate for this list! There’s a lot of unlimited flow novels on this list, simply because I read a ton of them lmaooo  <<less
