Peak Wish Fulfillment (non-beta OP MC)

Peak Wish Fulfillment (non-beta OP MC)
MCs that are already OP from the start, or that become OP in very, very few chapters. They may or may not know about their own capabilities, but are feared and/or respected by those around them. Also, this is a simp-free zone, no NTR, no cucks. Waifus, though, are allowed. 

Lots of cultivation novels, some have comedic undertones that usually go well with "misunderstanding protagonist clueless about their own power". MC is famous, MC is considered to be the demon king, MC is a sect master, MC has loyal subordinates, overpowered and feared MC, etc, are the kinds of settings here.

They are in no particular order. List updates as I read them.

    The cosmic-horror element of I'm really not a demon lord's lackey is the thing really sold to me. So there are nothing to overlook at. There are no plagiarism and cliches and no overboard cringe as you said. The MC is perfect as a entity to be misunderstood and the novel is executed well. In conclusion, I don't agree with your review with IRNDLL.

      I believe theres no trafford because for 1. they maybe havent read it yet, 2. Trafford's Trading Club Protagonist isnt more or less actually the 'protagonist.' It's more to say the side characters are more important, and unlike how [I'm really not the Demon God's Lackey!] puts it on the POV of the protag, and we see 70% of the world through his eyes, Trafford's MC is more or less a plot device to show differing stories and characters.

    Thank you for these amazing recommendations!

    i felt sad since I thought I read most of the OP protag novels longer than 100 chapters and couldn't find anymore

    You're the best!
