Misunderstandings/Self-Sacrificing MC

Misunderstandings/Self-Sacrificing MC
A collection for my sadistic side lol—the title of the list basically sums up what's listed. 

ORDER DOES NOT CORRELATE TO MY SPECIFIC THOUGHTS TOWARD THE BOOK!

SSMC = Self-Sacrificing MC

Misunderstandings = MS

Interesting storyline—the MC is seen as this mysterious entity who gives out godly knowledge but in reality, he's just an average guy who loves books. 6.5/10—a good read to pick up when bored. I also liked reading the manhwa. ... more>>

Currently starting this and heard that the MC is self-sacrificial. Will update this after reading further.

From the same author as SVSSS and MDZS (going off the assumption you've read these as I listed them above), TGCF is pretty popular, and for a good reason. Although I prefer MDZS and SVSSS more than TGCF (I just felt like there was more depth to it, and their characters felt more real and personal—definitely not to say this book wasn't good, it was amazing), this is definitely a good read! 7.5~8/10.... more>>

The MC is cute haha they have absolutely no idea what the heck they do to their group through their actions. The MC just casually bleeds out and shrugs it off while everyone goes insane and I'm living for it tbh. My only issue was the translation—but with a proper translator now, this is probably better. Another thing I thought I'd mention is that it's definitely not the best written—it's wordier and the MC is really just depicted as weak and pitied—I was mainly here because I liked the SSMC and MS tropes, but if you hate this kind of novel, I wouldn't recommend reading this? 6~7/10 ... more>>

MC is assumed to have a terminal illness and is about to die. Cue the pity party and an obsessive ML going crazy. This is more focused on romance than action, so if this novel isn't for you it makes sense. However, there is quite a few misunderstandings—including one where the characters around the MC believe she's "sacrificing herself" lmao... more>>

80 Chapters Every 7.8 Day(s) 1596 Readers 3 Reviews 04-30-2024
Currently reading—I have a good feeling about this one—as described in the novel's description, the MC wakes up in the body of a fake saintess who's hated (villainess trope) and must act saintly according to the system. Just from the first chapter, I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of misunderstandings there are. No rating for now, as I've just begun it but thought I'd list it. ... more>>

I read some of the manga for this and thought it was cute (haven't yet read the novel, but thought I'd list this since the basic story should be the same)—this is just a hardworking girl assumed to be a rich spoiled villainess because of her family name. I would check this out if you wanted a lighthearted story and fun misunderstandings. 7/10... more>>

Fewer misunderstandings (there are a couple but it's not really the main point of the story, they just pass by), I just thought I'd list it because I personally enjoyed it and because it very vaguely matches. I know it might not be everyone's cup of tea, it's a lot of philosophical stuff in the book, but there are a couple (i.e MC's two personas). ... more>>

Basically, the MC is a (kinda) scummy prince who wants to sell his country (which is in decline) and live his life in peace. It's fun to watch the major misunderstandings about the MC's intentions and how all his plans to sell the country backfire and instead boost the country and his reputation. My only complaint is the romance in my opinion but otherwise its pretty good and also has a manga. ... more>>

Very fluffy and sweet—the male MC is a gentleman who really cares about the FML! Misunderstandings happen later, although they don't drag out (imo—I've seen a lot worse) and the male MC is self-sacrificing—he's willing to give up a lot for the FML. ... more>>

It's alright—I definitely wouldn't say this is the best, but it does the job when you're bored with nothing to read. I'd recommend reading other novels I listed on this list first (because those are better tbh in terms of story) but this is alright. If all you're looking for is a novel that has MS then this is the novel for you! ... more>>

67 Chapters Every 13.1 Day(s) 1485 Readers 10 Reviews 04-21-2024
This one isn't something I usually would read, but I've been thoroughly enjoying it right now! It's not completed, but I loved the main character's interactions with the others, and it brings a smile to my face seeing the main character become closer to the people around her! It's that heartwarming found family between characters that usually wouldn't interact like that. I will put one warning that this is a gender-bent; I typically avoid gender bends solely because you never know how the MC turns out in stories (when written badly, it can ruin the story IMO), but honestly, the MC here was very refreshing! I'll give it an 8.5/10 (the rating might increase as... more>>

This is light-hearted and fun to read, as long as you aren't too critical of certain parts. This is another gender-bend (male to female), and while not my favorite, the way the MC was written wasn't too bad. I will say certain aspects (*cough* the MC's slight sis-con/yuri obsession *cough*) was a little off-putting, but it didn't appear often enough to the point where I couldn't keep track of the story so it was fine. I enjoyed reading it to see what crazy things our MC would do next—her activeness reminds me of Bakarina from My Next Life as a Villainess. I'd read this if you have nothing else to do I suppose. I'll give... more>>

Okay, I started it and got a decent way through but kind of lost interest, although that's not to say this wasn't good. It simply wasn't my type? I might return back to read this though, because it seems like something I might be interested to read again in the future. Anyways, from what I've read so far, the MC is certainly self-sacrificing (but not in the traditional "noble" way you'd think, and he certainly doesn't think of himself as self-sacrificial—huh there's a theme here...). I had fun reading the way all the characters, especially the MC, put on facades to match the image they're supposed to represent, and then seeing their true personalities shine... more>>

246 Chapters Every 2.8 Day(s) 5235 Readers 51 Reviews 05-05-2024
Mainly read this to kill time—it's not that bad, I know that there's a harem tag (which I usually avoid) but as of chapter 46.2, I didn't see it posing a problem to my enjoyment. The MC uses magic that's useless to everyone, but because he used it so much, he's perfected it to the point where the magic becomes a weapon that can solely be used by him to its full potential. It's interesting to see this in action, and the reactions of the people around him. He also isn't this super strong individual with no weakness—he certainly can still be defeated. I'll give it a 6/10—good time killer, not the most original story... more>>

95 Chapters Every 37.7 Day(s) 2348 Readers 14 Reviews 04-28-2024
This was alright—it was certainly a good time killer but it didn't really have the spark that grabbed my attention. It felt a bit lackluster to me, although I can't pinpoint the exact reason why—this might be interesting to others though, but it just wasn't really my thing. The MC here is the typical villainess who is about to go into ruin, but in this case, she's destined to die in 100 days no matter what. So unlike the stereotypical plot where the villainess goes out of her way to avoid her death flags (which usually also includes capturing a reverse harem and becoming the new FL), she simply does what she can before she... more>>

This was absolutely amazing. The MC reminded me of Cale from tr*sh of the Count's family but older and more broken for some reason. Unfortunately, there are not many chapters of this translated and it seems to have been dropped, but I hope someone ends up picking this up because it is absolutely amazing so far! It certainly feels darker than most of the novels on this list. I don't want to say much but the MC is certainly self-sacrificial, and it was one of the most satisfying novels I've read in quite a while. Thank you to the person who recommended this to me lmao. I'll give this a 9/10 for piquing my interest,... more>>

A bit slow in some parts, which is why I stopped reading it halfway through (I might return) but it's actually pretty good! I love the MC's (Nina's) interactions with the ML as, even though there's romance between the two, it doesn't overshadow the MC's personal accomplishments and strengths—as of where I'm at in the book, she's actually stronger than the ML, so there isn't any worry about the MC becoming this helpless damsel in distress. She's f*cking ruthless and everyone knows it lmao. She definitely cares about the ML and her coworkers to the point where she isn't hesitant to sacrifice herself for them, which was a nice touch for me lol. I'd give... more>>
