i couldn’t think of a proper title for what I’m looking for, first requirement is that there are at least 2 races warring with each other. If it doesn’t have that then it wouldn’t be able to fit with what I want. I’m looking for an Mc who helps the opposing race instead of their own for an identifiable reason (they falls in love, finds out some dark truth, etc. Not just “I feel like helping them”). They don’t have to be actively fighting against their race (doesn’t have to be human either), they could just be creating a sanctuary for those who wish to escape the war. Mc’s gender doesn’t matter, idc if novel/translation was dropped as long as there are a reasonable amount of chapters. No BL, nothing against it just not my cup of tea.
Monarch of Evernight fits this description pretty much exactly if I remember correctly, but it takes a while to get there
Spirit Realm (MC is mixed race and is at war with both of those races, this does not happen until chapter +1000, tho he is at war with one of them multiple times before that point)
A certain Evil God once had this conversation: “I see. Then what about Summoned Heroes being the easiest to deal with?” “They have powerful skills so when you fight them they’re strong, but to begin with they’re not people from this world, after all, so they don’t have much reason to fight. Most of the time you can avoid them by using their weak point, or by winning them over. There’s even the statistics that when the Demon King is a woman, or when they have a little sister or daughter, the Hero changes sides over 80% of the time.”
