I want to read novels where the MC pull-himself by his own intiative or his friends helping him but i don't want it to be by falling in love for the heroine or falling in love in general. I have already seen several MC which have mainly self-confidence issues(sometimes very grave to just a little) due various reasons(mostly misunderstanding with women or women being bitches to them, etc.) and the main solution is falling in love with a girl, and start to change to get their love. Well, i have gotten a bit(maybe a lot?) of that pattern at this point so i want to see how those MC change by other factors beside falling in love. So i would like that someon could tell me if there are novels like this. Mainly jap. novels, i can't particularly follow the ones of other languages.
SSS-Suicide Hunter - haven’t read it yet but heard that the mc changes for the better, if I’m not mistaken. The S-Classes That I Raised - mc changes, after being reborn, from an insecure older brother to a good one. The Great Storyteller - mc also gets reborn and changes what he regrets. All of what I recommend are Korean novels tho.
This. Also this is a SPOILER but calling Grid stupid is like calling someone with a broken leg slow. The author made clear of this on the first hundred chapters and doubled down in the latter chapters. Anyways, I only read up to chapter 600 since I'm only interested in his character development and is disinterested after that. It got way too ling for me.
