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.
A lot of fantasy light novels have this trope. Like in 'Sword Art Online', the main character begins with limited skills and power. It's a common way to show character development and growth.
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.
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.
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.
It could be one where the MC has unique powers or skills that no one else can match. Maybe they were born with immense strength or gained it through intense training and rare opportunities.
There are quite a few. One example could be 'The Dungeon Master's Chronicle' where the MC is a sentient dungeon with its own unique abilities and challenges to overcome.
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.
One common feature is the rapid power growth of the main character. They often start from a low - level state and quickly gain abilities that make them stand out. For example, in 'Overlord', the main character starts as a powerful being in a game world and his power just keeps expanding in the new world he gets transported to.
Naruto Uzumaki, the male lead in Naruto, was such a character. Naruto Uzumaki was born in an ordinary family. When he was young, he was very weak and often bullied by other children. However, he had a strong will and an indomitable spirit. Through continuous hard work and training, he gradually became a powerful ninja. When he met a strong opponent, he would challenge them unyieldingly and gain growth and strength from them. In the end, he became one of the top ninjas in the Naruto world, proving that only through hard work and struggle can one become truly powerful.
One unique feature could be the character of Lazy Mc himself. His laziness sets him apart from typical protagonists. It often leads to unconventional solutions to problems.
The MC usually goes through a whole new world with unique challenges and opportunities. They might have to adapt to a different body or social status.
