    Looking for reincarnation novels that have:
    -mc has a tragic past(had been a spy/assassin in previous life)
    - mc reborn into a nice family ( so no summoning or stuff like that.Also no being reborn into a 'bad' situation like being a bastard child )
    -no harem
    -preferably mc is strong due to past life training and such....not op tho
    -preferably mc gets forced to act (example family in danger) instead of some retarded xianxia protagonist who just murders everyone
    -preferably not an only child
    -preferably a female protag
    -preferably has a romantic subplot (emphasis on subplot)
    -preferably not very dark
    -mc is not evil doesnt need to be good but no evil pls

    Some examples Spider Thread(naruto fanfic), The Whisper of the Nightingale, The Odds are Definitely Not in My Favor(Naruto/hunger games xover) and The Former Assassin will Assassinate the Demon Generals because her Brother is the NPC Army’s Vice-Commander and the Heroes aren’t Leveling up Fast Enough

    Am posting for a third time since this post is buried in the new posts section and I really want recommendations xD ( i rlly hope i didnt break any forum rules...)

    Mushoku Tensei (WN)
    - Reincarnation novel,
    - mc has a neet past,
    - mc reborn into a nice family,
    - MC didn't want a harem, but ends up with one?
    - mc is somewhat strong due to past life, but not OP...
    - mc gets forced to act(send to work for a noble family and later gets teleported to a hostile place at the other end of the world) and has a strong sense to protect those close to him.
    - mc is not an only child (2 younger sisters),
    - no female protag, but there is a manga spinoff with female protag called "Mushoku Tensei: Roxy Gets Serious", which is a prequel, so you can start with that).
    - has a romantic subplot,
    - not dark(good ending and mc is good/not evil in the main story timeline.)

    Not exact but the closest novel I know to the asked description.
