What are some fantasy novels that feature a strong, overpowered protagonist who hides their true strength?
Many fantasy novels explore the trope of an overpowered protagonist who deliberately conceals their abilities. This often creates suspense and allows for dramatic reveals later in the story. In "MHA: Horizon," the protagonist, Horizon, possesses the powerful Hand of God (Ope-Ope no Mi) but isn't necessarily driven by traditional heroism, hinting at a complex character who might not openly display his full might. While not explicitly about hiding strength, his unconventional path suggests a departure from typical heroic displays. "The AFK Farming Software: I Became Invincible Without Knowing It" also features a protagonist, Qi Ming, who gains immense power through a hidden cheat system, suggesting he might not be aware of or immediately flaunt his invincibility, leading to situations where his capabilities are underestimated. The allure of such characters lies in their potential for explosive power when finally unleashed, often catching antagonists and even allies by surprise.
