Latest chaper was really great. I am Looking for a novel with MC like Shin of Kingdom manga. a hard working, facing lots of struggles, rising to the top from the bottom, and you can actually relate to him as you watched him suffer and suffer for his goal.
Ash Ketchum , He still hasn't caught them all. There is also this japanese novel Dark Mage something where the mc gets tortured. Otherwise chinese novels where mc's women get raped ( i think it was A Step into the Past ). And all of them work really hard, but they suffer more.
Dark Mage was a good read, Links are dead and no one wants to translate it/ it was Korean btw unless you're talking about the Death Mage reincarnation one where he's a shota
You can try Savage Divinity on RRL. MC transmigrate into a slave body. He reasonnably get stronger but not totally OP. The world is kinda a shit hole beside the innocent people of his clan (beside some exceptions like the friend that MC makes). Also funnily he is so often near death-door that he makes a objective to not being near it for a full year. Lots of jealously, bad guys. Someone spoiled me that the rabbit beastgirl become his fiancee but they don't have sex, too bad. I kinda stopped reading it because kinda it's too dark for me, too much obstacles to the happiness of MC.
