    Try
    -Senlin Ascends - ordinary teacher forced to become...more. Read and find out.
    -Farseer Trilogy - technically royalty, but since his father died he was raised by his father's stableman, real start from the bottom royal intrigue
    -Lord Foul's Bane - Oh just an ordinary leper guy who gets thrust into a fantasy world.
    -The Engineer Trilogy - Turns out people are just wheels and cogs...maybe this MC is a lil mad though.

    Turns out all my recommendations are published...oh well, they're pretty good though. Try em.

    I doubt that the son of patriatch of one of top three clans which born with already condensed origin crystal(easy road to godlike powers) can be counted as peasant. And it without even mention about his mother which also not a regular person.

    MC is irritating at first but she grows as a person to become less so, reincarnated into a sickly young girl, Maine, born into a poor (by our standards) but wonderfully loving family ... her surroundings is basic, she struggles to adapt to a world without modern conveniences, and a severe lack of common sense.

    A Librarian in her past life, her one love, books, is far from her reach, because of that desire to read she overcomes many obstacles, introducing modern and some ancient knowledge to this new world... sometimes you want to slap her upside the head, other times you will want to hug and comfort her, she is by no means someone that you will warm too immediately, but she has her own unique charms that will win over the reader and the rich diverse characters that inhabit that world.

    From humble beginings we follow the Ascendance of a Bookworm :)

    As a side note... the Translator is OP :D makes the reading even more enjoyable :)

    The books follow a slum-dwelling girl named Sonea who, although born and raised in the slums of Imardin, discovers that she has natural magical abilities usually restricted to the upper classes.

    Ermm...yeah but I don't want to spoil it. The OP seems to be looking for an MC that is struggling in his/her early life and succeeding due to effort. Qianye got everything stripped away from him so he started from the lowest of the lowest. He didn't rely on his true origins to climb up (until the recent chapters tho) so I think it will be entertaining for OP for around 300+ chappies.

    I think it's pretty clear that he got his royal Blood from his mother. And he started to rely on it pretty early in novel. Or else story would end as he would became brainless ghoul. He also from the start got powerful backgroung as pupil of one of top Empire generals. He never was a peasant or "normal".

    I absolutely despise Robin Hobb for creating the Farseer Trilogy, for I hated the protagonist and the way it concluded.

    At the same time however, I cannot say it's a bad trilogy. The fact that I still feel rage whenever it's brought up is an indication of its quality. I have forgotten countless shitty novels yet still recollect wanting to burn my paperback copies and mail the ashes to back to the author.
