Ebon's manga / #OP MC(26)

MC was just an ordinary guy....until the day he decided to become a hero for fun. Now, he’s so OP, no one is his opponent. And so his quiet life continues. You know - with the occasional cataclysm-level distraction to take care of.... This manga is trying to say something. I don’t actually know what it is yet, but I intend to figure it out....eventually. Honestly, though, this is an excellent - albeit weird - story. Definitely read it or watch the anime to give it a try!

136 A teen is pulled into a fantasy realm along with many others, but a mistake forces him to remain in the isolated “beginner’s zone”, endlessly leveling up to 5 before he is dropped back to level 1 again. Only, he keeps his stats. Finally, he gets out and starts exploring..... I liked this one a lot. It wasn’t the typical storyline, the events felt a lot more believable, and the story even gets a bit dark at times, so it feels more fully-realized than most. Excited to see where this goes!

MC’s parents are a hero from a duke household and the mother of creation; daughter is a former chemical scientist reincarnated. Through the benefit of her reincarnation, the MC is street smart and wise in the ways of the world, but there are always darker forces at play, manipulating events as they will. So begins the MC’s story.... This is one of my favorites. There is a lot of light humor, but the logic and scheming is sophisticated, so it’s an interesting read as well as a fun one!

MC has died from overwork and, in his last moments, wished he could just live a peaceful life as a family dog. So upon waking, his wish is granted....only, do dogs normally grow to be this big?! So begins his new life. Ok, a bit odd at times, but generally very cute and funny. Also, the MC is a quite bit OP. As someone who loves big dogs, this was a fun read to imagine the words behind the constant barking and obsession with food. I hope others enjoy it as much as I did!

Top martial arts expert is forced to reincarnate - thus begins his new life trying to surpass in strength (and happiness) his old life. Only he has a way of involving himself in things.... This was wonderful. I’ve read manhwa like this and generally been disappointed, but I love this one! The characters are clear, art really nice, plot logical and fast-paced, and MC likable, OP, and smart. Zero harem, a bit of romance, and a tomboy little sister (which is great). Very much recommend!

3700 MC is in his third year in a martial arts sect but, despite his perseverance, he has fallen behind everyone else....that is, until he discovers a strange artifact. Then he begins to grow. This is super interesting, and quite fast-paced. MC keeps growing, and is generally intense and clever/scheming with a strong character. It took me forever to realize it was harem - and it is - but it’s not so much you can’t read past it, and there are strong female characters too....hope it continues!

Young female MC realizes one day that she still has her memories of a previous life as an office employee....as well as those of a book character from her previous world?! Now, she sees the book’s events unfolding and is determined to change fate.... This was cute (and yes, OP). Fairly typical other than the book character bit, but I’m excited that a female MC decides to learn sword fighting rather than just magic. Shows promise!

Cute story about a kid who ends up becoming OP after being presumed dead by his fellow high-ranking adventures for 10 years. He then goes on adventures with the younger generation to help them learn and grow.... This was lighthearted and cute. Lots of humor, but it was often hit or miss, and I found myself laughing or cringing alternately. A nice, typical OP story with a twist.

MC is a girl transported to another world, determined to learn to live a peaceful life there. Only, her status as an ‘other-worlder’ makes the king, nobles, and even other kingdoms interested in her instead.... (There are multiple ‘other-worlders’ in this world.) This was a very forthright story with a quick-paced plot. MC is an upfront, strong female who is surprisingly clever. Fun read, excited for more!
