    I am looking for a hidden expert mc novel. Basically:
    • He stays in the shadows.
    • Other people aren't aware of his powers
    • Others underestimate him.
    • Mc is op/strong

    Some novels with this kind of protagonist: The Daily Life of the Immortal King, To Be a Power in the Shadows, Sign-in buddhas palm

    This post was inspired by a forum post I saw on RR. Though there have been no replies as of yet.

    It Turns Out I am a Dao Ancestor
    and
    I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot
    both are very similar, they kinda remind me of Sign-in Buddha's Palm
    Also there are a couple of shop owner stories as well
    I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon
    and
    Please Stop Summoning Me!

    "The Dark King" might fit the bill. Not sure though, haven't read much of it and it was so long I even forgot what it is about.


    But I vaguely remember it something about Kingdom building of sorts, so going by the title you can find some aspects of behind the curtain puppeteering
