I wonder when you will see a normal fanfic where the protagonist has no system and is not a protagonist with some trick and is normal... that takes 3 years to 1 year to level up

It sounds interesting but the problem with such an mc is that he would be left behind by Bell. The dude can go 3-4-5 levels in a single year and the enemies he faces grow accordingly, so if that imaginary guy who grows at a normal pace he will basically become useless. The method to counter that would be to put him far in the past, like Riveria's age or even further, so that he can be already OP when cannon rolls around. That's a very good option and a very interesting one, but the main reason people write fanfiction usually is that they either can't or don't want to deal with world building, so they steal it. Making a character so old would force the author to basically make their own series of events that happened in the past, altering Cannon in a way that can't be done without extensive knowledge of the original and willingness to work a lot on it. That being said, I too would like to read such a fanfic! If it's written well, it would have extreme potential, so thank you for the review and I hope you find what you are searching for.
I don't see the problem that one is lv 3 when the problems start and bell cranel is lv5 in 2 years and the (character) you use takes 2 or 3 years after all, the (CHARACTER) you are using is not bell Cranil and he doesn't have the heart of Bell Cranil, if he has talent, the (character) should at least go from lv1 to lv2 in a year, which is how long it took Aiz Wallestein.
True
You just have to get rid of Bell. But it's like you said, apart from a few fanfic writer, the majority avoid world building (they prefer to do those poorly made stories about dimensional travel ou not develop a world beyond the copy and paste of the original events, than to work well on just one world).
I’m sure you will see how well that story flops then, who wants to read hundreds of chapters of the protagonist being worse than canon fodder?!
why do you want to read a story where the mc would get constantly side lined lol
Although not a Danmachi Fanfic, one story that does this “Far past” Idea really well is Realistic Tower of God: The Martial Way. It is set in the far past of the Tower of God storyline where the Main Character is a Martial Artist who died and was reborn in the Tower, who thus decided to climb the tower, wishing to Surpass his peak in his previous life. In doing so, he actually meets and travels with some pretty important people in the ToG storyline, where the author does a pretty good job exploring them in his og way. The author also manages the Protagonists power growth pretty well, with his ‘unique power’ being something that gives him an edge while not being that op. Although it sadly has been dropped/on hiatus or something for about 2 years now, i really recommend checking it out, its a pretty unique fanfic.
