    Do any of you know novels ehere the mc is seen as someone mysterious by the other characters of the novel? Like, his mysteriousness is one of his focal points.
    Also, can it not be a wuxia, xianxia, or xuanwuan novel? I'm fine with power scaling, but not through basic cultivation.

    Good examples would be:
    Lord of the Mysteries
    Trafford's Trading Club
    My House of Horrors

    Top notch novels.

    The kind of novel i'm looking for has a sense of lovecraftian horror. Not focusing on the tentacle bits of the genre, but the terror of the unknown. Not solely on the MC, but the world's setting in general.

    Please make your reading list public.


    The Amber Sword - Everyone keeps guessing about who the MC is and their background due to his vast knowledge.

    To Be a Power in the Shadows! - Lots of misunderstandings and assumptions and MC acting mysterious on purpose while not having a clue what he himself is saying but it somehow ends up right.

    [QUOTE = "pass1478, post: 5356753, membro: 215876"] Algum de vocês conhece romances em que o mc é visto como alguém misterioso pelos outros personagens do romance? Como, seu mistério é um de seus pontos focais.
    Além disso, não pode ser um romance de wuxia, xianxia ou xuanwuan? Estou bem com a escalada de energia, mas não com o cultivo básico.

    Bons exemplos seriam:
    Senhor dos Mistérios
    Clube de Comércio de Trafford
    Minha Casa dos Horrores

    Romances de alto nível. [/ QUOTE]

    No thanks.

    The Amber Sword's good, but it lacks that certain vibe and somber atmosphere.
    TbaPitH is just a nah. It's not serious enough.

    It's a xuanhuan. Also, it's not my cup of tea.

    Same logic for The Amber Sword. It's good, but lacks the vibes.

    I am also interested in this topic, I can recommend such novels:

    "Shepherding Humanity" - a work in which MC is the god of creation for the creatures he created, he is represented in various images in their history, whether they are gods, or just personalities who influenced the entire era, or just some mysterious personalities)

    "Soul of Negary" is a great piece (but for me only until I leave the first world), in the first world MC is really a mysterious and mystical character for this world

    Probably I can still recommend the "Ouroboros Record", it really resembles a mysterious MC for others over time, but I'm not sure if it fits the criteria completely

    I would also like you to advise me, too, some works on this subject, if you have found such during this time, I would be extremely grateful to you for that :D

    The Real Awakening? The genre fits, though it’s more of the second MC that has the mysterious air, not so much the first MC.

    Soul of Negary would really be to your liking. I'm someone who read the novel to its end through MTL and I can say its really promising novel. Translation isn't that far in now, and current arc is only the second arc so it doesn't seem that great, but it's amazing.
