Can you recommend some 'main character hides his strength' light novels?

One popular one is 'Solo Leveling'. The main character, Sung Jin - Woo, initially appears weak but gradually reveals his incredible strength. Another is 'Overlord', where the protagonist Momonga hides his true power in the new world he is transported to. And 'The Rising of the Shield Hero' also has a main character, Naofumi Iwatani, who is underestimated at first and hides his growing capabilities.

Well, 'The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor' also fits. The main character keeps his real skills and power under wraps. He has to navigate through a virtual world while concealing his true capabilities, and the story unfolds as he gradually unveils his strength in different situations.

One reason could be self - protection. In many light novels, the world is filled with danger. If the main character reveals his full strength too early, he might attract unwanted enemies. For example, in a world full of power - hungry villains, showing off strength could make the character a target.

I recommend the book 'Douluo: My Strength Was Almost Exposed' to you. The main character Jiang Chen activated the hidden strength system after he crossed over to Douluo Continent. As long as he hid his strength well, no one would be able to find out how powerful he was. From then on, there was another hidden king on Douluo Continent. I hope you like this recommendation.😘

One common device is the element of surprise. For example, in 'Solo Leveling', when Sung Jin - Woo suddenly shows his enhanced powers in a battle, it surprises both the enemies and other characters. Another is the underdog story arc. The main character is often underestimated, like Naofumi in 'The Rising of the Shield Hero', which adds to the tension and excitement when their strength is finally revealed.

Another theme is growth. Often, these characters are not only hiding their strength but also growing in power secretly. They might be training in isolation or learning new skills without others knowing. This internal growth is then shown externally when they unveil their true strength. In 'Solo Leveling', the main character's growth while hiding his power is a significant part of the story.

😋I recommend the following books to you: 'The Dawn Effect': The protagonist, Tangning, transforms into an outstanding survivor in a foreign world. Together with her companions, she takes risks to survive in a world where mutated beasts and the undead run rampant.
