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.

- alien mc, weak body, stoic face

mc is an alien who hates his job. he sends his soul to earth and it’s super abundant in mana. issue is the body he went into sucks and is super weak, but because he’s an alien and doesn’t understand human customs he keeps appearing like some cold, S rank hunter who is a fake F-hunter LOL. really great. everyone thinks he's sacrificial and an upstanding person (eventually).

- 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

- actor mc, unaware, comedy, funny mc

mc suddenly has an ability that allows him to basically live the life of the role he’s playing. he has no idea why and he’s never acted before but he pretends to be cool and calm in fear of embarrassment. everyone think he’s some genius actor who stays hidden but mc is really just nervous LOL. it’s super short but been loving it a lot! similar trope to movies are real.
