What kind of light novel features an MC who hides in the shadow?

Well, there are many. One example could be 'The Rising of the Shield Hero'. The MC in that starts off pretty weak but grows stronger over time.

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

A novel with an MC having light Xianxia could present a story where the MC's powers are used for good deeds and to bring positive change. The plot might involve quests or adventures that are not overly violent or dark, and the MC's journey is more about inner wisdom and kindness.

There's 'The Ancient's Tales' where the MC is a wise old man. The story focuses on his wisdom and how it influences the events and characters around him. It's a great read if you're into this kind of character.

There are quite a few. One example could be 'The Dungeon Master's Chronicle' where the MC is a sentient dungeon with its own unique abilities and challenges to overcome.

It could be one where the MC has unique powers or skills that no one else can match. Maybe they were born with immense strength or gained it through intense training and rare opportunities.

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.

There are several. One example could be 'The Reborn Hero's Love for the General', where the MC reincarnates and develops a deep affection for the general.

One feature is likely a unique plot. Since the main character is an antihero, the story might not follow the typical 'good vs. evil' narrative. It could involve the antihero navigating a world full of gray areas. The light novel may also have a distinct writing style to bring out the antihero's personality, perhaps with a lot of internal monologues that show their conflicted nature.

The MC usually goes through a whole new world with unique challenges and opportunities. They might have to adapt to a different body or social status.
