lowkey i know this isn't the right place, but can y'all recommend me more novels where "weak" mcs are pretending to be strong or somehow gets misunderstood that they're op (≧▽≦) novels like lotm, gsgw, and i'm not that kind of talent
Try reading Illusion Hunter from Another World! The mc gets misunderstood to be some sort of OP hunter, but he's just a little cute slime trying to get out of the boring life of enslaving himself to work.
Theres also a manhwa!

Idk if you'll like this (i haven't read this to the end) but it's a slice of life story about a girl who can see protagonist halos around her. She becomes dormmates with heroines from different worlds, ends up helping with everyday issues and there's a fair amount of misunderstandings because of that:

very plot heavy bls? slowburn obvs, plot where the romance takes a while to develop (≧▽≦) ex. turning or quite literally any danmei but I prefer manwha/manga rn lol

Ik im not the OP, but I just wanna say THANK YOU for recommending Count Tachibana. It was so well-written, I got hooked immediately that I read it in one sitting. BLs like it are so rare (or maybe im just not looking enough lol)
I love how the characters are all interconnected and they all had their own moment in the story which contributed in understanding the society and situation they were in. I cannot express my feelings about this story it was just so good Idk how to describe it.
Now, im feeling empty ಥ‿ಥ idk how to move on from that story. I wish it had side stories so we could see how they're doing in their everyday lives
yess stigmata is a masterpiece as well!! Actually I started reading stigmata first before count tachibana but I stopped at ch 83 cause I wanna read it when it's all complete. I find the story a bit difficult to understand and I may have a hard time remembering the details if I read every chapter as it is released. So I plan to reread from the start when it's finished so I can appreciate the full story !!
Thank you to you and the others for recommending Stigmata!!!
probably not the right website to ask this but what are y'alls fav danmei novel?

Under the Oak Tree
I think the novel is more sad than the manga.

https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/your_eternal_lies/
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/an_uncomfortable_truth/ (more psychological tho iirc)
you have to give Not Blossom a try, it’s definitely tragedy and the storyline and art is amazing.
