    Hi, as the title says, I'm looking for a novel where the MC is not being constantly underestimated and insulted just because he doesn't have the same background as some of the young masters, and where he gets credit for the things he's done, meaning, he doesn't hide his strength.

    Reverend Insanity (might be a bit in the first 100 or so chapters but later on noone underestimates mc)

    Warlock of the Magus World (again a tiny bit early on, but as soon as mc proves himself the idiots stop being stupid, since they actually have decent iq and it's not a regular young master world)

    Reverend Insanity is a xianxia cultivation novel
    wmw is a western/magic cultivation novel

    Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich , since when the story starts he is already known to have conquered half the world once and he is one who doesn't let himself be underestimated too much but still hides his trump cards

    Reaper of the Martial World. An English Original Cultivation Novel, which... mostly does what you say you want, and I suspect is exactly what you actually want. MC does not get underestimated by his opponents, so long as they actually know enough about him. The thing is, as the story progresses, more people that the MC is preparing to fight, and who want to fight the MC, know less and less about the MC. Not because the MC is in hiding, but because the MC's laying low until he builds up a reasonable level of personal strength, and the way in which others know about the MC is relatively indirect. Roughly spoiler free details below (minor spoilers, but nothing overt).

    The Story starts relatively normally, MC comes from Earth (a backwater of backwaters, where the people don't even learn to cultivate because most of them can't), and joins the Cultivation World through an ancient contract with Cultivators. MC gets looked down upon, finds a way to hold his own, progresses, and defeats "his betters". As the story progresses, these opponents don't just send the people the MC directly offended, nor people "at the MC's rank" against him. No, they send groups or people a rank or more against him. They treat him seriously, and the story continues along with that. When the MC reaches a point of "dominating all" (it is a cultivation novel, after all), and makes actions that in many stories would be him "insulting his betters", he doesn't actually do it directly. Not because he wouldn't, but because he did it by surpassing them on a leaderboard everyone pays attention to and nobody knows who the MC is. Because he came from a backwater of backwaters. Pretty much everyone is preparing and organizing and guessing at how powerful and skilled and dangerous the MC's potential is, some are worried about their inability to assassinate him because they don't know where or who he is, and the MC is off quietly changing reality as they know it.
