One popular 'isekai weak to strong' light novel is 'Overlord'. The main character, Momonga, starts as a powerful magic caster in a game world which he gets isekai'd into. He gradually reveals his true strength and builds his own empire, facing various challenges along the way.

Rimuru Tempest begins as a weak slime but through various encounters, absorbing skills and making allies, he becomes an extremely powerful being in the new world. It has an interesting world - building aspect with different races and magic systems.
'Sword Art Online' can also be considered in a way. While it's not a traditional isekai in the sense of being transported to a completely different world, the in - game world has a unique magic and skill system. Kirito starts as a relatively unknown player but through his experiences and battles, he hones his skills and becomes one of the strongest players, which is similar to the 'weak to strong' concept in isekai light novels.
One popular one is 'Farming Life in Another World'. It follows the protagonist as they start a new life in a different world, focusing on farming and building up their new life. It has an interesting take on how one can use modern knowledge for farming in a fantasy setting.
One common theme is the underdog's struggle. The weak protagonist has to face powerful enemies or difficult situations at the start. For example, in 'Sword Art Online', Kirito was just a normal player in a death - game world at first, and he had to struggle against powerful bosses and other players who might have bad intentions. This struggle is what drives the story forward.
One popular 'weak to strong' light novel is 'Solo Leveling'. The main character starts off weak but gradually becomes extremely powerful through his own efforts and various challenges. He faces numerous dangerous monsters and overcomes them, evolving into a very strong hunter.
