Solemn Midnight

A humongous plus if there's another male character that is stronger than mc and sometimes has the spotlight

hiii this is super late but "leveling with the gods" i think has some good relationship building, i mean the entire point is mc going around finding the right people to complete his mission (kinda)
of course, mc is op and it still leaves a lot to be desired but I think it does a better job than others
also "legend of the northern blade", it's kinda hard to get into at first, but it has legitimately one of the best writing I've found, especially in battle sequences and pacing

Much appreciated, I am currently reading leveling with the gods but letting it marinate some more. I believe I tried to read legend of the northern blade before but yea it didn't stick for me

If you haven’t already then definitely give the
s classes that I raised a try
Aside being one of the best stories EVER it’s very relationship focused. In fact the Mc himself is the weakest character in the story but has super strong support powers so he has to constantly make new connections for his mission. It’s more of a found family then level up kind of story. The mc is also like no other you’ve ever read about.

I'm already caught up, just letting I marinate but I absolutely love it!! I've low-key moved to reading novels on the side but veryyy slowly
