A very popular one is 'One Piece'. Luffy is the OP MC. While the love story aspect isn't as central as in some other anime, his relationship with Boa Hancock has elements of a love story. Hancock is in love with Luffy and it adds an interesting dynamic to the story, especially considering Luffy's rather oblivious nature to her feelings.
Well, 'Toradora!' has a unique love story along with an OP - ish MC in a sense. Ryuuji Takasu may not be the typical OP in terms of superpowers, but he is very capable in his own way. His love story with Taiga Aisaka is full of twists and turns. They start off as helping each other in their respective love interests which are actually each other in the end. It's a really cute and complex love story.
One great OP MC web novel is 'Solo Leveling'. The main character starts off as a weak hunter but gradually becomes extremely powerful. His growth and the unique monster - hunting system in the story are really captivating.
They usually have a growth arc, even if they start out OP. Take some of the MCs in light novels like 'Log Horizon'. Shiroe, while already having strong gaming knowledge and skills, still grows in terms of his leadership and understanding of the new world he is in. This growth makes them more relatable and interesting, despite their overpowered nature.
One great Chinese light novel with a powerful main character (MC) is 'Martial World'. The MC in this novel has an amazing journey of growth in the martial arts world. He overcomes numerous challenges and his character development is really interesting.
Another common theme is the fish - out - of - water situation. The MC is transported to a new world, so they have to adapt to new cultures, magic systems, and social structures. In 'Konosuba', Kazuma has to deal with all the crazy things in the isekai world while trying to make the best of his situation with his OP party members. And they often have a goal, like saving the new world or finding a way back home, which drives the story forward.
'The Beginning After The End' is also a top - notch OP MC novel. Arthur Leywin is reincarnated into a world with magic and he has an innate talent that allows him to quickly rise in power. The story not only focuses on his power growth but also on his relationships and the world - building is quite immersive.
