Read manhwa I Was More Overpowered Than the Hero, so I Hid My Power! online in English. Also known as Secretly More Powerful Than the Hero and Yongsa-boda Neomu Ganghaeseo Him-eul Sumgim.

Getting hit by an eight-ton truck is bad luck, but when it lands you in front of a reincarnation goddess, it becomes an opportunity. Yurian never cared much for the classic hero types in stories, preferring the side characters who acted weak while secretly dominating everyone around them. So when the goddess asks him what kind of life he wants next, his answer is practically a reflex: a total wimp on the outside, outrageously overpowered underneath. She grants the wish with the kind of creative cruelty only deities can manage, adding one lethal condition. If a single person ever uncovers his real strength, his heart will simply explode. No second chances, no do-overs.

What follows is a breathless juggling act in a magic academy setting, where Yurian must feign pathetic weakness while surrounded by monsters, rivals, and people who keep poking at his cover. The comedy is sharp, bouncing off the genuine danger that the wrong compliment or a too-observant classmate could literally kill him. Watching him balance public embarrassment against the need to stay alive turns every fight into high-stakes farce, and the story knows exactly when a laugh should twist into real tension. The central question is not whether he can outfight his enemies, but how long he can out-act everyone who gets close to the truth.

This series may appeal to readers who enjoy overpowered protagonist comedies, hidden-identity chaos with genuine consequences, and fantasy school settings where survival hinges more on acting skills than raw power.
