Another aspect is prior knowledge or experience. In some light novels, the MC is reincarnated or transferred from another world. Like in 'Konosuba', Kazuma has knowledge from his previous life which he uses to his advantage in the new world, and this knowledge combined with his unique skills makes him overpowered in certain situations.
One popular one is 'Overlord'. The main character Momonga is extremely overpowered. He starts as a max - level player in a game and when the game world turns into a real one, his abilities are far beyond others. His magic powers and strategic mind make him nearly unbeatable.
I'm not entirely sure as I haven't read the whole novel, but the most obvious main character would be the overpowered one in the minion role. There might also be a master or a group of characters that the minion has to interact with, like a powerful wizard or a noble who has the minion under their command.
The theme of leadership also appears frequently. In 'The Rising of the Shield Hero', Naofumi has to lead his small group of allies against much larger forces. His overpowered abilities give him the means to do so, but he also has to develop leadership skills. Also, there is often a theme of justice. These overpowered characters usually end up fighting for what they believe is right. They use their power to protect the weak or to right the wrongs in the world they inhabit, whether it's a virtual world like in 'Sword Art Online' or a more traditional fantasy world like in other novels.
One interesting aspect could be the unique power dynamics. With an overpowered main character as a minion, it flips the traditional hierarchy. It might lead to unexpected plot twists as the minion's power could disrupt the normal order of things in the story's world.
One popular overpowered mc light novel is 'Sword Art Online'. The main character, Kirito, is extremely overpowered in the virtual world of the game. He has incredible sword skills and the ability to adapt quickly to various situations, making him stand out among other players.
Some popular overpowered MC (main character) novels include 'Solo Leveling'. In this novel, the MC starts off weak but gradually becomes extremely powerful with unique abilities. Another one could be 'Overlord', where the MC is an incredibly strong character in a game - like world. And 'The Legendary Mechanic' also features a very overpowered MC with great skills and development in a sci - fi setting.
One factor is the sense of wish - fulfillment. Readers like to imagine themselves in the shoes of a character who can easily overcome challenges. For example, in 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime', Rimuru's ability to gain new powers so effortlessly is exciting. Another aspect is the ability to change the world around them. An overpowered MC like Momonga in 'Overlord' can reshape the new isekai world according to his will, which is very appealing.
One popular OP MC light novel is 'Sword Art Online'. The main character, Kirito, is extremely powerful in the virtual world of Aincrad. He has incredible sword skills and the ability to adapt quickly to various challenges within the game world.
