misunderstanding the mc to be better than they are
Sinrai :)

doesn’t matter if mc is strong or weak, but people misunderstand/overthink their actions and words to the point they think they’re always 3 steps ahead, while mc is blissfully unaware (and typically nervous). i also included “sickly” mcs who aren’t actually sick in here.
will not be rating with numbers but will give general summary and opinion. THERE MAY BE SPOILERS. i tried to move the better ones at the front but it’s not in a particular order!
mc is one of the weakest healers (F-grade heal magic) but he gains a system that essentially is like a modern surgeon/doctor program. the misunderstanding is that he’s a righteous, selfless, “for the people” anti-capitalist healer when he really does just want money lol. however, he is a genuine good guy and he’s not misunderstood to be stronger than he is, only smarter/kinder. pretty good read so far!
You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.
yay! i’m glad you’re enjoying it. it’s so hard finding this sort of trope so lmk if you have any suggestions as well ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ Sinrai :)
Technically Overlord, it’s really famous but it does fall into this trope. He’s OP but his actual personality is weak-minded and human-like. There all these eleborate plans but he doesn’t really understand them but always manages to make everything work as if he planned them from the start.

hahahaha overlord is already on here, somewhere around page 3 or something like that. still, thanks for the suggestion though!

Then you really do have everything I know! Σ( ￣□￣||) really good job on cataloging of them, thanks to you people like me can enjoy their misunderstandings haha ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I dunno if this is on here but i think "I Was Mistaken As a Monstrous Genius" also fits pretty well. It's a system kinda thing and what he's thinking is the complete opposite of how he looks/how people see him (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I think "Binbou Reijou no Kanchigai Seijo Den" would fit this list, everyone thinks the fl is a saint but most of her actions are out of self-interest (e.g. she gives the villagers healing medicine bc if they stay healthy, they can continue paying taxes)
you don’t have weak hero on here, right? i think gray is a good contender! he’s great at winning fights because he’s really crafty/intelligent, but physically super weak and delicate-looking so people (especially in the beginning, when he hadn’t built up a reputation yet) would doubt his capabilities and keep challenging him.
he 100% warrants his reputation of being ruthless and scary, but i really love the sheer disparity between that intimidating reputation vs. how small and effeminate he is <3
would you guys want me to add every single manga/manhwa/manhua that follows this trope? so far, I've only been adding ones i enjoy, but if people want a list with everything, i can also do that!
