misunderstanding the mc to be better than they are

- op mc, harem tag but mc doesn’t care about harem + doesn’t feel like a harem, funny and serious

mc is a chuuni who got isekai’d and he essentially creates a reputation for himself and a whole shadow underground association w/o realising it’s all real bc he thinks it’s just roleplay and luck. he’s truly op though

- op mc, no harem, really nice art

mc reincarnated into victorian times and has to keep changing identities. he accidentally takes on the identity of a new professor at an elite academy (who happens to actually be a high-up member of a secret society). he’s strong and acts strong but he’s actually very confused and nervous, while everyone around him thinks he’s terrifying and mega op

- comedy manga, female mc, cute and funny

mc was an entitled princess who was executed. she went back in time before she was killed and now she’s trying to fix her reputation and avoid her death. she’s still spoiled but it’s funny hearing her internal dialogue compared to how others see her (which is usually as a saintess, pure-hearted intelligent young princess). love the misunderstanding and how she’s unaware

- COMPLETE, comedy, weak mc, not the best art (sorry)

mc is born w a scary face which always leads him to being caught up in fights (and him getting beaten up). he finally transfers to a new school and basically everyone overthinks his actions and thinks he's op as hell. he keeps accidentally beating everyone's ass when he just really wants to have a chill life. super hilarious even if the art is a little hard to look at

- recommended from a lovely commenter!

mc is pretty pathetic LOL he’s really not strong, but people do think he’s insanely op. i wish there were more moments with him though, since he doesn’t feel like a “main character” of the story and more like someone everyone talks about. it’s really good and funny though since everyone around him overestimates him and all his actions/words. he has such an op reputation and this is one of my favs

- edit: REALLY good but SO painful. needs a tragedy tag. everyone dies nobody lives. i would rather they shot me than make me reread this

mc basically is second to the demon king even tho he’s a human. he’s really weak but actually strong?? he goes unconscious a lot and is very powerful during those times. canonically he does have DID, or at least a separate personality, there’s also just general misunderstandings abt his words and actions since everyone thinks highly of him

- comedy, chuuni mc, weak but op

super cool plot with a game world reality and players assimilating into their game character. mc had a chuuni demon hunter as his character and he's super cringe, but everyone think he's badass and op as fuck because mc is the only demon hunter left. he's weak compared to everyone else but he's the strongest against demons. his character makes him super stoic and cold, which only adds to the misunderstanding that mc is op as hell and badass.

- weak but smart mc!!

mc has to pretend to be his op twin bc he died protecting mc. mc is not strong whatsoever but he has the ability to imitate the feeling of strength and fear by overanalysing everyone around him, so they think he’s really strong. he also is very smart! personally, i wish he was strong even just a little or people misunderstand him even MORE of his strength with misunderstandings (eg. he trips but it knocks everyone down). still good tho

- action, similar vibe to ORV, manipulative mc

mc is a super manipulative guy who's honestly kind of scummy. he's extremely intelligent, so he makes himself into a saint-like character, even making the ml regressor believe in him. he's genuinely super fucking cunning. i recommend reading the novel. not to spoil, but mc is a man who has even tricked the gods. don't mess with bro. key difference in this manhwa is he's intentionally making everyone think he's amazing.

- strong mc (not super op tho), rational

mc gets isekai’d into a game world he used to love. he got turned into the intro npc, who is strong at the start but weak afterwards since he’s a jack of all trades. bro gets misunderstood for being extremely op bc he IS strong atm + his knowledge but he is weaker than everyone in the long run
