Another one might be 'Charlotte's Web'. Wilbur the pig is sort of a hero. He is in a difficult situation of being potentially slaughtered, but through the help of Charlotte, his friend the spider, he is saved. There is no real blood or excessive tear - jerking scenes in a violent sense. It's a story about friendship and survival in a gentle, rural setting.
The book 'The Secret Garden' also fits. Mary Lennox discovers a secret garden and helps to bring it back to life. She is a hero in the story as she overcomes her own spoiled and lonely nature. There is no violent or overly emotional in a negative sense content like blood and excessive tears. It's more about growth, both of the garden and of Mary herself.
One such light novel could be 'Overlord'. In it, the main character is a powerful being in a new world, and while there are battles and challenges, it doesn't overly rely on the typical 'blood and tears' melodrama. He uses his strategic mind and in - game knowledge to navigate the new world.
The hero is often more of an ordinary person thrust into extraordinary situations. For example, in some coming - of - age stories like 'Anne of Green Gables'. Anne is just an orphan girl who has to adapt to a new life. She doesn't use violence or excessive crying to deal with her problems. Instead, she uses her wits, her imagination and her strong will. So, one characteristic is that they rely on inner strength rather than physical aggression.
Comedy is a common element. These novels like 'Konosuba' use humor to drive the story forward. The hero's misfortunes and the absurd situations they get into create a light - hearted atmosphere, rather than a dark and gloomy one associated with blood and tears.
[The recommended novel: Let's love each other.] This was a doujinshi novel. It was about the female protagonist and the leader of the Blood Clan's healing system, Zhang Yixing, who met and fell in love with each other. However, the female protagonist lost him during a trespassing incident. Three years later, the female protagonist saw Zhang Yixing on the street again, but he did not recognize her. The story also described the female protagonist's strength and change over the past three years. Although it was an exo series of vampire romance novels, there was a high chance that it would satisfy the tastes of exo fans. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah!
I'm not aware of any novels specifically named 'no hero novel'. But some novels like 'The Catcher in the Rye' could be considered in a way. Holden Caulfield is not a typical hero. He's a confused teenager dealing with his own issues.
I'm not familiar with particular 'new blood novels' but you can search for new and upcoming authors in literary magazines or on social media platforms dedicated to books. These places often showcase works by emerging writers which could be what is meant by 'new blood novels'.
There's 'Eragon' which is a hero - born - novel. Eragon discovers a dragon egg and from that moment, his life changes as he is born into a world of magic and adventure. He has to learn to use his new - found powers and face the evil forces. Also, 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series can be considered. Percy is a demigod, born of a human and a Greek god, and he is constantly facing challenges and growing into a hero to save the world from the threats of the mythological world.
Sure. 'The Invisible Man' by H.G. Wells is a classic. It tells the story of a scientist who discovers a way to become invisible but then descends into madness and chaos.
One example could be 'The Dark Knight' - related novels. Batman in these novels often shows traits of hero syndrome. He takes on the role of Gotham's protector at great personal cost. Another might be 'Watchmen', where some of the characters have a strong sense of self - imposed heroism. Their actions and the consequences are a big part of the story.
Sure. 'The Count of Monte Cristo' is a great one. The protagonist Edmond Dantes is wrongly imprisoned and becomes vengeful at first, acting like a villain in the eyes of his enemies. But as the story unfolds, he uses his new - found knowledge and power to right the wrongs done to him and becomes a hero in the end.
