Looking for Stories with a Dee Hua-Style Misunderstanding, Where the Protagonist Isn't Just a Tool for Moving the Plot Along

I want to read something like Survival by Reloading: I'm Really Not a Big Shot. Honestly, I'm getting brain rot from all these stories where everyone misinterprets the protagonist. I want a protagonist who shows off, but ends up frustrating themselves to death. I don't want someone who relies entirely on a golden finger and has everything go smoothly. I want...

A Story Where Subordinates and Enemies Imagine the Protagonist Is a Brilliant Strategist

I want an Overlord-style situation where the protagonist's offhand words and actions make everyone imagine he's got some incredible plan, and then, through a series of coincidences, that imagined plan actually works out. Not the Emperor Engine trope.

Misunderstandings That Make Everyone Think the Protagonist Has a Heavy Burden, and So On

Nothing with people judging memories and such. The protagonist is completely fine, but others think they’ve made huge sacrifices and things like that.

Looking for books similar to "Infinite Flow: I Became a God After Giving Up". I'm seriously out of things to read. Please recommend stories where the protagonist thinks they're terrible at everything but has absurdly good luck, and everyone keeps imagining they're a genius. Ahhhhh!

The Male Lead Is a Big Shot, Exposed by Someone Who Was Reborn

Stories Where the Protagonist Has Incredible Presence and Looks Cool Every Time He Appears, Like the Villain

The protagonist should have a powerful aura and leave a strong impression every time they appear. The kind of character whose name makes NPCs steer clear. Preferably no romance, and they should be completely, utterly crazy, like Chen Lian.

Looking for Stories with Dihua-Style Misunderstandings and No Romance!

Please don’t recommend anything with romance. It really hurts by the end. I haven’t found anything like this on Tomato Novel, and I really want to read some. Male- or female-oriented fiction is fine, but it absolutely has to have no romance! I really want this ʕ◉ᴥ◉ʔ Anyone know any?

Misunderstandings, Fake Angst, and Delusions of Grandeur

Looking for books like "My Strength Depends Entirely on What My Enemies Imagine". The fun is in everyone mistakenly thinking the protagonist is miserable, powerful, wonderful, and so on. Fake coercion stories are similar, too.

Novels Where People Call the Protagonist “Sir,” “Master,” or Something Unknowable

The protagonist is powerful, or seems powerful. Alternatively, they may seem weak, but everyone around them wildly overestimates them.

I'm in a reading slump.

Looking for Stories Where the Male Lead Is Actually a Total Amateur, but Everyone Thinks He’s a Big Shot

The male lead is actually useless and weak, but everyone else mistakes all his accidents and coincidences for signs that he is incredibly powerful.

Primordial Wilderness, Fantasy Cultivation, and a Growth Arc

Looking for books like A Bronze Scroll in My Hands: Deduce All Laws and Enter Immortality (Amid the Depths of Calamity Fog). I want to see how a disaster-struck young man with an ancient bronze scroll in hand grows step by step and uncovers a history shrouded in mystery.
