Looking for novels including originals and fanfics with a selfless MC. I'm looking for the well written ones with heroic, sacrificial, forgiving, or caring moments that hit you in the feels. MCs that are represent "best of us."
Try Trash of the Count’s Family You'll find a lot of it in there. Also try, Muyoku no Seijo wa Okane ni Tokimeku, it also has something like that but more so in a comedic misunderstandings type of way. I remember this oneshot to have lots of similar misunderstandings too I believe, I Ended up as the Hero’s Mother After Reincarnating?! (Oneshot), but I don't quite remember since it's been a long time. (There is also a non-oneshot version of it. Don't know what to call it.) Edit: Oh right, this too...probably - I’m Not a Villainess!! Just Because I Can Control Darkness Doesn’t Mean I’m a Bad Person! (LN)
Truly Selfless MCs who destroy themselves to serve/help others: Gomen ne, Onii-sama Akuyaku Tensei Dakedo Doushite
