There's 'The Ancient's Tales' where the MC is a wise old man. The story focuses on his wisdom and how it influences the events and characters around him. It's a great read if you're into this kind of character.
A novel with an MC having light Xianxia could present a story where the MC's powers are used for good deeds and to bring positive change. The plot might involve quests or adventures that are not overly violent or dark, and the MC's journey is more about inner wisdom and kindness.
Perhaps it also has a theme of mentorship. The old wise man might be in a position to guide younger characters, and the story could revolve around the relationships formed through this mentorship. It could show how the old wise man imparts his knowledge and values to the next generation. Another theme could be the passage of time. The old age of the main character might imply a long life filled with experiences, and the story could touch on how different eras have shaped him and his wisdom.
Maybe it's a mystery-themed light novel where the MC hides in the shadow to solve crimes or uncover secrets. The shadow could be a metaphor for their hidden identity or their way of operating unseen.
Well, there are many. One example could be 'The Rising of the Shield Hero'. The MC in that starts off pretty weak but grows stronger over time.
One feature is likely a unique plot. Since the main character is an antihero, the story might not follow the typical 'good vs. evil' narrative. It could involve the antihero navigating a world full of gray areas. The light novel may also have a distinct writing style to bring out the antihero's personality, perhaps with a lot of internal monologues that show their conflicted nature.
