Resolved Looking for skilled and hardworking MC with normal luck

Something like The King's Avatar, No Game No Life and Overlord where the flow is like this

[MC have a problem -> MC use skill and hardwork -> MC solve the problem]

Please don't recommend me overly lucky MC *bows* (example : by chance, MC get the only item that exist in the world). Though, it is alright if it is the starting plot (and only the starting plot).

Non-novel (manga, anime and visual novel) is accepted.

Any other genre (aside from game-elements) is accepted (like Prince of Tennis(sport) and To Be A Virtuous Wife(historical drama))

tldr ; they're OP, and you know they're going to win, but the author is hardworking enough to research and write down the reason why they're winning and not just write "luckily the MC bla bla bla"

 

Weed from Legendary Moonlight Sculptor?
His grandmother and sister need his care, but they have a huge debt...

 

Already read, but thank you (yes something like that will do~)

 

Whenever I see Bai Xiaochun from A Thought Through Eternity/A Will Eternal, I see a normal and mediocre man who just works harder and more meticulously

 

Everyone Else is a Returnee
The Man Picked Up by Gods

 

"Normal" weak->strong MC doesn't interest me, but review said it is funny so I think I'll give it a try, thank you

Already read both, though thank you for the recs ^^

 

XD you're welcome, it's my favourite Q.Q you should definetly give it a try, becase that guy will make you laugh and cry, no matter what your eyes won't ever stay dry

and that was just a casual unintended rhyme because I just love this story that much♥♥♥

 

The Tutorial Is Too Hard

 

Ooo this looks interesting, thank you ^^)/ !

Altina the Sword Princess
and maybe Release that Witch
if you ever fancy the exact opposite then try I Got Reincarnated And Mistaken As A Genius? because that's entirely luck and no skill.

 

RRL has a few I recommend:
Master Of All

The Defective Hermit

Release that Witch

Release that Witch maybe
Tale of a Reincarnated Lord

Rewrite might fit, but I haven't played through enough to be sure. But he is working hard for oppai!

 

Owner Bu, I mean gourmet of the other world.

He has a system like Zhang Ye, the difference is the system isn't luck base. Its function is to protect him, his shop and give him missions which he needed to complete within certain amount of time. No magical artifact that can solve his problem has been shown, The skill he has is acquired through training, which is done off panel most of the times but will occasionally be mentioned.

 

reincarnated as a vending machine

 

For game elements:
Emperor of Solo Play and Reign of the Hunters - both are reincarnated and aren't crazy lucky.
God's Left Hand / Fish Playing While Trapped in a Secret Room - about e-sports! also has a sweet, slow romance
A Slight Smile is Very Charming - lighthearted romance
Log Horizon - an anime/light novel. similar idea to SAO but way better

Ze Tian Ji - Can't cultivate at the beginning
Jiang Ye - Also can't cultivate
Douluo Dalu / The Legend of The Dragon King - 'trash' MCs that work hard. They do have some pretty lucky encounters, but I rather like the MCs honest natures

 

How about Undefeated God of War. He's a hard working mc with all the training he does~

 

How 'bout A Step into the Past?
Oh, and if u would like, try to read my father-in-law is Lu Bu
