A Background Character’s Path to Power

Waking up in an unfamiliar world with no memories, I had only one advantage, a mind filled with knowledge of fictional tropes, clichés, and common sense learned from countless novels.
At first, I thought I was trapped in a romcom nightmare when I started triggering events like "Helping a Girl on a Rainy Day", "Damsel in Distress", and "Tripping Into the Heroine’s Arms." Naturally, I shut those nonsense down before they could escalate. No forced romances. No misunderstandings. No cringe.
But something was clearly off.
The world wasn’t just a slice-of-life comedy.
Beneath the cliché academy setting, there were whispers of awakening powers, hidden dangers, and a brutal magic academy entrance exam.
And every challenge I prevented or manipulated was an opportunity to grow stronger.
[Title Earned: Background Character.]
[Achievement Unlocked: Firm Mind.]
[New Skill Acquired: Background Character's Aura.]
[New Ability Acquired: Anti-Narrative Influence.]
I may be just a background character, but if fate insists on throwing these events at me, I’ll turn them into stepping stones.
Let the protagonists play their scripted roles — I have my own path to power.

I can't say much since I only read 18 chaps. But it definitely got me hooked. I really like the premise and the main character.
A fresh take on the concept. MC is a 'background character' with a system which can trigger scenarios and events. Though our MC's ways to deal with them absolutely amazing. He has already found his own path in a sense too
this is one those "unique" type of stories for a already commonly set theme, our mc is just a regular guy who hates cliche things but unknowingly he is in a world of those cliche things as a background character,I love the story and the light humour in writing ,I'm hooked and waiting for more
why not make mc shoe rack in protagonist's house so he can stay near protagonist and remain background character
loving it so far ive read up to the newest chapters rn which is 29 and it just gets better the more I read keep up the good work
Really catchy novel ! Directly took my attention. Usually not a big fan of this kind but this one really hook me!
Read up to chapter 40 the novel is honestly refreshing and the world building is pretty interesting the MC vibe is great but i have one comment the abilities and titles he gained i still can’t see the usefulness of the titles except for the first one but still it’s only 50 chapters long so far so i have good expectations hopefully more chapters will be uploaded soon
It’s been awhile since i’ve enjoyed reading something new. A lax enjoyable slice of life, very pleasant read.
It’s not often a story manages to hook me, especially on here of all places, but I have to say, this one really hits the mark for my tastes. There’ve been very few times I’ve caught up to the latest chapter in a novel and genuinely found myself eager for more. If you’ve read The Novel’s Extra, it carries a similar vibe
a cringe novel of a background character inside a cringe story where he is a 'side character' that is always part of the plot, not out of choice but because of system penalty that removes his memory, mins you, memories that he doesn't even have. pretty much nothing but forced cringe plots.
This is good, though I was confused at first it hooked my attention. This book is easy to unlike other academy troupe who use complex words.
Amazing novel, the mc is actually sensible and really witty too. Side characters are based on cliches but still likeable. All in all a definitely worth a read.
It's a nice and funny read. I like how the author put a twist on the 'transported into another world'. The characters are great(I mean Cassandra and mc), their personality is fleshed out and I personally found the scene where we found out she a protag with a system and I would like to see where the author takes this revelation. I've only read up to ch 46 but you can tell how the clichés play an important role in this world. The basically breathe it! other than that, this reminds me of another novel I read " Guide for Background Characters to Survive in a Manga" and I all I have to say are good things!

#1 Writing quality. there are a few grammar mistakes but overall very readable 4/5. #2 Story. It's absolute cinema, the start is a bit slow but it rapidly picks up the pace 5/5 #3 Characters. They are wonderful, the mc has to be one of my favorites of all time up there with ren from tapov. He's a guy not afraid to work for his power. The side characters are decently developed, having their own mystery and intrigue along with being very likeable. 5/5 Updates. Very fast multiple chapters a day. 5/5 World 4/5 Too early to make a definitive judgement but it has been good so far. In conclusion. This novel is absolute cinema fuilled with mystery, action, and an s-tier mc. Ps. If you drop this novel author you know what will happen. Pps. This is my first review, hope it doesn't suck too much .
Personally? When I first saw this on my recommendations list I thought it would be brainrot truly those forbidden scriptures have been plaguing this sect for a while now but its good to see a few core disciples who are still going at it strong.... I might have rumbked too much... Anyway its a good read and although so far the mc isn't op yet his definitely someone to route for
Disappointed!!!! The Author wants to keep our MC from cliche and keep him in background but he failed in that sole task this novel is based on. The MC being aware of cliche doesn't mean he is avoiding it, he is actually living it.
First of all, thank you for giving this story a try. A Background Character’s Path to Power is a story about a boy who wakes up with no memories of who he is — only fragments of stories, games, and tropes from another world. He’s not a chosen one or a genius. He’s just a background character... until strange events and a mysterious system push him onto a path where survival itself is a struggle — and strength, meaning, and identity must all be earned from scratch. As mentioned in the synopsis, the story starts slowly — intentionally. The main character has amnesia and is thrown into an unfamiliar world, so the early chapters focus on setting the tone and building a foundation. But the pace picks up quickly as mysteries unfold, challenges intensify, and deeper plot threads begin to surface. So I’d encourage you — don’t jump to conclusions too soon. Give it a chance, and you might just enjoy the journey. About the title: I know titles like this can feel familiar — even cliché — in the current webnovel scene. But I chose A Background Character’s Path to Power because it reflects exactly what this story is about. It’s not ironic or exaggerated. It’s simple, straightforward, and true to the heart of the journey. Hopefully, the content gives the title its weight. A few common questions: Is there romance? - Yes, romance will be part of the story — but it’s not the main focus, especially early on. When we do reach those arcs, the relationships will be slow-burning, meaningful, and built on emotional growth. They’re written to feel genuine and respectful. Note: This story avoids any explicit or inappropriate content — emotional depth takes the lead. Will there be a harem? - No, this is not a harem story. That said, there is a possibility that the story may involve two genuine female leads — not as a gimmick, but based on how the characters and their journeys naturally develop. If that happens, I’ll handle it with care and stay transparent with readers as things unfold. Is the MC overpowered or weak throughout? - Neither. He starts from nothing, and every bit of strength he gains is earned. The journey is long and full of setbacks — but growth, both physical and emotional, is one of the story’s core themes. If you have other questions or thoughts, feel free to leave them below — I read and appreciate all your feedback. Thanks again for reading and supporting the story. Whether you're here for the world, the characters, or to watch a background character rise in his own way — I hope you enjoy the journey ahead. — Peace_in_Chaos.
