    Lord of the Mysteries, this novel put most CN, JP and KR to shame when it comes to plot and endings up to the latest chapter on raw

    That automatically eliminates all wuxia novels in existence from possible candidates.

    Once Upon A Time, There Was A Spirit Sword Mountain. Well written, good plot, non-generic. Precisely written due to the Author getting annoyed at generic cultivation novels, and decided to write one that isn't.

    Other recommendations:
    My Monster Adventurers Guild. MC grew up in an orphanage with a badly damaged face, and treated badly by her fellow orphans. Upon reaching age, everyone awakens their personal power, and the MC awakens one that says it's "S" Rank, but has no idea how it could be used. Follow along as she works out how OP her skill is, and uses it while building up a Guild dominated by non-humans.

    Andrew Rowe's Arcane Ascension Series. MC is intelligent, but not a "natural born genius who knows everything", and actually has personal issues that are usually not applied to characters. For example, the MC has issues with physical contact... stemming from the literal years of isolation his father put him through, forcing him to train and only make contact through "sparring". And sparring is in quotation marks due to the number of times the MC was used as a punching bag so that his father could work out some unrelated aggravation. "Surprisingly" the MC DOESN'T like his father. Many of the characters have small background information like that that pops up and shows us a that it's a realistic world.

    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEh !? How i could miss this one for so long ? Maybe it didn't have romantic subplot when i checked it.
    Does it have romance or not ? If yes i think i will it a try. Do you have the link to epub of this series ?
    -------------------------
    Hmmmm i got a recommendation, maybe:
    https://www.novelupdates.com/series/upgrade-specialist-in-another-world/
    Fake cover. And the first girl he love is a trap (not a trap in gender sense but trap = she will plot against him). Next one, another noble girl is true waifu.
    COUGH. It's interesting and you will become addicted of seeing the next effects that will appear when he upgrade. Just too bad that the upgrade technique will be hidden by MC and that the rates of upgrades are not that good. Still we get a quite decent bunch of OP items with MC.

    Oh, probably.

    ...I am not sure why I linked to the paperback versions, but here, the cheaper electronic versions of the same series. To my knowledge, there is no free version of this series, except for the Audiobook in the Audible Trial. As for romance... there is a romantic subplot or two. And saying anything more might be spoilers.
