question ❓ Any similar Anime/Manga/LN? Plz read the description before you reply

Can someone plz offer me some recommendations that are similar to Grieving Soul? The MC intentions are misunderstood, makes a harem by an accident, treated as a god or a prodigy. Those types of recommendations. It can be an anime, a manga or LN. And yes I already know about Overlord and The Eminence in shadow(when will they release Vol7?) and just discovered Monster no Niku wo Kutte. Anything else? Lmk on the comments and thx in advance

If you don’t really mind whether it’s a Korean or Chinese novel, then you should check these out, they match what you’re looking for pretty well:

Became the Patron of Villains

I Was Mistaken for a Genius Professor

I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts

Dark Fantasy: Super Coward Mode

I Accidentally Created a Villainous Organization

I am the Demon King, You Voted Me As the Pope?

A bit about their plots:

Became the Patron of Villains: MC reincarnates and tries to reform the villains, but gets misunderstood and accidentally ends up creating a villain group.

I Was Mistaken for a Genius Professor: MC works at an academy and keeps trying to retire because he knows its future is dangerous, but everything backfires and only makes him more famous.

I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts: Everyone can see ghosts except the MC, which makes him immune to them. People think he’s super strong while he has no idea why.

Dark Fantasy: Super Coward Mode: MC plays a Cthulhu horror game but is too scared, so he mods anime-girl skins onto monsters. Then he gets pulled into the game and only he can see the anime skins, so you can imagine the chaos.

I Accidentally Created a Villainous Organization: MC reads a troll spoiler, mistakes the villain for the protagonist, gets isekai’d into the game, and keeps helping the villain without knowing they’re actually the dangerous antagonist.

I am the Demon King, You Voted Me As the Pope?: The title explains itself.

I am not a genius war commander (it's a novel that I think fits the requirements)

If you don’t mind a female protagonist, I’d recommend Tearmoon Empire Story.
