The concept of starting anew with knowledge from a past life is always appealing. For an OP MC, it means they can often use their previous knowledge to gain an edge. For instance, if they were a gamer in their past life and are reincarnated into a game - like world, they can quickly understand the rules and power - up systems. It's like having a cheat code.
One popular character could be Subaru from 'Re:Zero'. He has an OP (overpowered) ability which is his Return by Death. It allows him to go back in time when he dies, which gives him a huge advantage in the dangerous world he's in.
One great light novel with a powerful main character (MC) is 'Overlord'. The MC, Ainz Ooal Gown, is extremely OP (overpowered). He starts as a max - level character in a game world that has suddenly become a reality. His abilities and strategic mind make him nearly unbeatable.
The light novel 'Akame ga Kill!' also has an OP female MC in Akame. She is a highly trained assassin with a powerful teigu (a special weapon). Her skills in combat and stealth are top - notch, allowing her to take on much stronger opponents.
I'm not entirely sure as there could be many light novels with an OP (overpowered) main character (MC). It could be about a hero in a fantasy world who has extraordinary powers and uses them to overcome various challenges.
A best OP MC can also be defined by their relationships. In light novels like 'Re:Zero', Subaru has his Return by Death ability which is OP in a sense. But it's his relationships with the other characters, his love for Emilia, and his growth through his interactions that make him a great MC. The way an MC interacts with the world around them, whether it's a fantasy or sci - fi setting, and how they use their powers to either uphold or subvert the norms of that world also contribute to them being considered 'best' and 'OP'.
One great Chinese light novel with a powerful main character (MC) is 'Martial World'. The MC in this novel has an amazing journey of growth in the martial arts world. He overcomes numerous challenges and his character development is really interesting.
One characteristic is their unique abilities. For example, in 'Overlord', the MC has abilities that are far beyond normal characters in the game - turned - real - world setting. Another is their rapid growth or high starting level. In 'Sword Art Online', Kirito starts with a good level of skills which he further hones.
One great OP MC (Overpowered Main Character) fantasy light novel is 'Sword Art Online'. The main character, Kirito, is extremely skilled and powerful in the virtual world of Aincrad. Another is 'Overlord'. Momonga, the main character, is a very powerful magic caster in a game world that has become a reality. Also, 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' is good. Rimuru starts as a slime but quickly gains incredible powers and builds his own nation.
