    In a hero worshiping society "guy with super powers" is reason enough for women to drop their panties.

    Making entirely new systems of magic, when he can't chant it himself, requires quite a bit of effort and thought, though.

    That's skill, like a talent, not Skills like firebreath or something. He puts points into things like mana control, and that lets him learn Skills like Magic Edge easier, but he still needs to visualize the effect, and regulate the power usage. He actually makes all his skills more complicated by turning them into programs, with overly complicated variables, and set conditions.

    but you cant compare satou with a real hard working MC from weak-to-strong guy.
    ok just let OP chose to read it or not. but i dont think satou is what Op want.

    OP is looking for abandoned orphan CN protag in a R-15 and over JP story, where the mc wows the womens with his brains and hard work, instead of having a god given harem attraction aura. the name of the thread also implies he doesn't really want to look too hard.

    No Fatigue
    Parallel World Pharmacy
    I Appear to have Been Reincarnated as a Love Interest in an Otome Game (Translations seem to have stopped.)
    (Um, Sorry) I've Been Reincarnated (I'm actually really behind on chapters, but it seems like he's just out the make friends from what I remember.)
    Villainess Brother Reincarnation (Translations seem to have stopped.)
    Mushoku Tensei

    And if you're open to female MCs, here's a couple:
    Kenkyou, Kenjitsu wo Motto ni Ikite Orimasu (I'll admit that the MC is not the smartest (she's average) and is a bit dense, but it's more of a daily life sort of novel with comedy.)
    Gomen Ne, Onii-sama (This is something of a tragedy IIRC)
    Yuushi Yori Saikyou na Kuro Kishi (I'll admit that she does seem to be the type to attract waifus though.)
    Tilea's Worries (This one is a comedy piece that depends on a funny misunderstanding.)
    Ascendance of a Bookworm
    Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter

    Actually, I too hate those type of CN, I was more thinking of novels loke ISSTH, Renegade Immortal, or Stellar Transformation.

    Do you want absolutely Japanese, or are you open to Japanese like Chinese or Korean WN?
    Because, while being Chinese, The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich is really Japanese like, and awesome, especially the later chapters.

    It's the majority of what's translated though: either a wimpy good natured dumb Japanese mc, or a psychopathic murdering "it's all about the face" Chinese mc.
    Clever worthy of admiration good Japanese or Chinese mcs are neglected.

    I'm already reading The experimental log of crazy lich, but it's not whhat I want because the comic part overshadows the srious part.
