    So I'm looking for a novel(manhua/manga works too) that's long(500+ translated chapters if possible) where the mc is NOT underestimated every 5 seconds and isn't hiding his abilities(if he is should only hide them for less than 100/200 chapters). One that's cold or at least not someone that tries to save everyone.

    Optional: not one that has multiple identities
    Edit: I've read CD, HSSB, and Overlord of Blood and Iron. The only ones that fit the bill
    Oh and Heavenly Curse, Ioved that novel

    Renegade Immortal/Xian Ni. Completed with 1000+ chapters, amd the MC becomes incredibly cold and merciless (but not evil) after the first few arcs.

    Reverend Insanity. MC's a chaotic neutral that leans more on evil, and he has that character right from the get-go. Ruthless, cold-blooded, and the total lack of a moral compass. Also has 1000+ translated chapters.

    is the mc underestimated/ does he hide his power?

    I see that it has been banned, I'll give it a chance tho. Also is there any chance of new chapters and does it stop with a cliffhanger?

    Both. There are times he hides his power, there are times where he doesn't, it's situational.

    As for Reverend Insanity's hiatus (definite or not), not sure if it ended with a cliffhanger since I stopped reading long before chaoters stopped being posted. As for whether or not new chapters will be posted in the future, I don't know. You could maybe ask some people or make a question thread if you're curious.

    I'm confused rn. I see the famous protagonist tag and don't see the hiding true identity one. How are there both times where he hides his power and times he doesn't? Like he hides his powers in the beginning and shows them later?

    There are times when the MC gets heavily injured and has to lay low and act weak, it's basically an arc present in big cultivation novels.

    Have you read The Desolate Era? I don't believe I remember the main character in that one hiding his abilities. Everyone knows and tries to plan for his fast growing rate.

    Edit: Oops, my bad, I didn't see the last sentence of the request for some reason. Yea, this MC isn't cold.

    The legendary Mechanic - He hides his potential in the first few chapters to escape but later he becomes somewhat of a legend, most people know who he is, and sometimes underestimate his potential but mostly because he grows too fast and they base his power on the last time he publicly showed it. 1250~ chapters officially translated and completed (1463 chapters) in the original language.

    EDIT: The protagonist also very pragmatic, people assume he is kind but mostly he does things because it benefits him so not sure if he is very cold but he is definitely not a very good person either.

    I tried it some time ago but I remember dropping it since he was getting too many identities. Does he reveal the truth?

    Yes unless you're talking about people knowing that he is a person who transmigrated from the earth, that's one identity that doesn't get revealed. Everyone just thinks that he is local to the universe.

    I don't expect people to know that he's from earth, I was talking about him being that assassin and the one that he got
    earlier(Zero and Black Phantom I think it was)

    Then yeah, it gets revealed. And once he leaves the planet i don't think he has secret identities or at least i can't think of any and i completed that story just a few days ago.

    Do you know when he reveals that he is both Zero and Black phantom? Like is it in the first 300 chapter, first 500?

    Is that when he reveals it to the world/players or the officials from germinal/dark-net/stardragon?
