the player hides his past light novel

Since I don't have in - depth knowledge of this light novel, it could be that the 'player' has a dark or complicated past. Maybe he was involved in some sort of scandal or had a difficult upbringing. The story might show how his past affects his current actions and relationships within the context of the light novel's world, whether it's a virtual game world or some other fictional setting.

I don't know for sure as I haven't read it. But most likely there is the player himself who is the central character. There might also be friends or foes he interacts with who play important roles in either trying to uncover his past or helping him keep it hidden.

Maybe he has some dark secrets in his past that he doesn't want to be known. For example, he might have been involved in something illegal or unethical that could damage his reputation in the world of the web novel.

It can create suspense. Readers will be curious about what he is hiding and keep reading to find out. For example, it might be revealed gradually through flashbacks or other characters' investigations, which adds an element of mystery to the story.

Maybe he is ashamed of it. Some past works might not be up to his current standards, or perhaps there are elements in the novel that he doesn't want to be associated with anymore.

The player might change the title and his name associated with the novel so that it becomes difficult to trace back to him. He could also use some legal means like copyright restrictions to limit its availability if possible.

Love and acceptance could be another theme. Despite the husband hiding his beauty, the relationship between him and his partner might still develop based on true love and acceptance of each other's true selves. This shows that love can be more than just physical attraction.

Well, there are many. One example could be where the MC hides his identity to protect himself or his loved ones from some powerful enemy.

One reason could be self - protection. In many light novels, the world is filled with danger. If the main character reveals his full strength too early, he might attract unwanted enemies. For example, in a world full of power - hungry villains, showing off strength could make the character a target.

One such light novel is 'The Hidden Power of Kain'. The MC is incredibly powerful but keeps it a secret to avoid unwanted attention.
