Some people here suggested To Be a Power in the Shadows Yeah, I'm suggedting this too. IMO even better than lazy swordmaster. The manga is out too, just a few chapter though... you can google it and read a bit to get a taste of it before deciding to read it
I think the only good one is The Novel Extra. (That’s translated in NU) The others failed or half-fail at it. Even Emperor Domination suck badly after hundreds of chapters. There are some good JPs like To Aru Majutsu no index. Touma always works behind the scenes of things, a high schooler keeping equilibrium between both sides lol. And only Misaka notices how he’s always doing something for someone but no one realizes it but her and index ^.^
Since everyone already suggested Power in the Shadows, here are some others: Demon Girl ~Tale of a Lax Demon~ - MC seems pretty weak, and get caught up in all kinds of plots, then MC shows their true self and devours their souls. Tilea’s Worries - Though the MC themselves doesn't realize how strong they are Isekai Mahou wa Okureteru! - MC hides their strength and shows it when people piss them off (Though I will warn its a pretty winded story) PS Please make your reading list public
I see harem in the tags. Is it a good harem? Are they one dimensional bimbos? Are they thirsty sluts? Or are they just silently watching MC from the shadows and loving him rom afar since there’s a main girl?
It's similar to Overlord but better imo cuz all of his subordinates are female, and the misunderstandings are so hilarious!
Oh my god thank you. I can handle harems. But not one dimensial just for the fan teases. Cause I’ve outgrown the “I wanna be in a harem phase.”
Well i don't recall him liking someone seriously so i don't know if there's a main love interest already. But the time he confessed, he's just doing it for the sake of being a mob. Just try reading atleast 50 chaps, it's very funny (in my own opinion) since it is full of misunderstanding and high levels of being chuuni. Girls like him but he doesn't know tho.
They are loving him from afar. He is the leader of the shadow organization, they are below him, so their love is more of idolizing the MC. To them, just getting his praise is more than enough but none would dare actually show their feelings to the MC cause they don't consider themselves worthy. Think of it like a fanclub made of assassins. The MC saved them from a life worse than death of being a blob of flesh kept in a cage all day or tortured for experiments. The harem is irrelevant to the story itself, it's more of a side show that plays into the misunderstandings.
