I’m Really Not the Devil’s Lackey - Recommendations

VeXuSTV says...

In both all characters around MC think he's the strongest and the most inteligent person when in reality he's just speaking useless stuff that happen to be true or through misunderstanding look like profound knowledge.

FelixVanis says...

It's really similiar. An overpowered MC who wants to act cool. And caused by his acting skills everyone admires him as ag.n unbelievable strong bein

otakureid says...

not that similar                                       but similar enough                                                                                      

theliongirl says...

Both are hilarious comedies where the MC is just role-playing and manages to convince everyone else that they're some kind of mastermind. In the background there are secret societies and awesome fights, while the MC is totally oblivious because they're caught up in their self delusions. 

thunderfangepic says...

In both, the MC views the world completely diferently from all the other people. They have really funny stories.

bookeater18 says...

Both MCs are oblivious to their impact on others and have created what they believe to be a fictional world yet it hits the mark of those around him.

Senso3514 says...

3 reasons why i think they're similar1- Isekai2-The Mc is somewhat op3-People misunderstand him as a clever person even though he's just spouting basic stuff from the real world

Majster says...

It's really similar. Both mc are OP but they don't clearly see it. They are embraced by mystery about their powers and plan (from others point of view), but in reality they don't even know about that or think about it like "yeah that was nice scene". About the world represented - both are magic worlds which are quite easy to understand how they works. Also secondary characters are well developed and the more important think THEY AREN'T ANNOYING. Summirazing both mangas are great comedies with interesting plot, so if you like one of them, you will like the other one as well.

saminimaster says...

The humor about everyone's misunderstanding of basically everything and a mc that dosen't even know whats going on is definitely hilarious.

NoGameNoLifeXL says...

Kings of being seen as superior beings because of misunderstandings or coincidences, multiple times in both stories the main characters are placed higher than the average person, people referr to them as gods (not actually) unbeatale beings, ones just a person who wants to be a hero the other is just a really good salesman

Daati says...

Both characters were isekai'd into a fantasy world that has magic or fantastical elements. The actions that they impart upon the residents of the fantasy world is taken as a serious matter despite the protagonists themselves considering it a joke or an overreaction. If you like the character interactions with the residents in Shadow, then Devil's Lackey can also scratch that itch to a lesser degree.

ShadowNinja365 says...

Both are similar in many ways,

1)Both mc are transmigration 

2)Both mc think they are doing normal things but it has immense effect on people of that world

3)Both mc are considered people of very great strength

4)both mc just try to make money

T1gerC0re5971 says...

The comedy is very similar with the MC usually not knowing what he is doing but believing that he is helping, this one is just on the lighter side of it. 

AcesCazador says...

Add misunderstanding on misunderstanding & some more misunderstanding then you get more big of a misunderstanding

NamikazeZukito says...

Both have a comedic misundertanding and no other wordly common sense which make them both great

FelixVanis says...

An overpowered MC who tries to live in the world of cultivaters. But because he cant see the power off the other people he just acts with them like a normal person. His system just boosted everything what he does to god style.

MC Not knowing There a god and think themself normal around Very powerful people. love this set up

Recommend.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Ainz0036 says...

Pretty much the same setting, both the MC's are similar and have been referred to as omnipotent or cool asf , they both have a bunch of people following them around 

loltatoez says...

Both feature people who were transported into a different world and run ordinary shops. They both also feature elements of the MC giving someone else an item that seems ordinary to them but turns into a treasure in the receiving party's hands

Manthika says...

Thrilled to see the comedy so good it's still readable despite lewding women like crazy (PSSM) or general stupidity that isn't explained (both) an excellent time waster with similar vibes and expected Chinese quality 

Mendroid says...

Very similar situation for the MC, being sort of an omniscient powerhouse in the shadows, pulling the strings but doing that, semi anaware while managing their little shop that they just chanced upon.

LOL1202 says...

Similr plot  with powerful protagonist running an ordinary shop in a new world. they are rather similar and bith are believed to be the back stage controler of the  major events                           

Sudharshanan says...

                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

durmanko says...

very close stories, but Stop summoning MC not so dumb like other. own coffe shop instead of library.

Goldenclouds says...

I agree I like the part where ......................................................................................................................................................  GOD

GODLYNUTT says...

The story of demon gods lackey is a bit different, because mc isn't in our would by but got transported to another and now is a librarian in that world. He meets powerful people who keeps misunderstanding his intentions as having deeper meanings and fearing his because the books in his library that look ordinary to him are dimensions to them. This is a really good story and is a must-read if you like this story.

PhotonDarkness says...

I agree with this recommendation. However, both are different in terms of plot.Lifespan is focused on trading people time,  using time, spending time and help build his foundationLacky is focused on misunderstandings as he tries to be a regular bookstore owner, but he is misunderstood by people as he uses the power of psychology with hot and cold readings to try to let people recommend a book.

The book appears to be normal for him (like Science and Math books) but to them, it looks like a grimoire which grants people foresight, power, or just seeing the legends.

Ltautumn says...

Good tbh, in general the manhua don't rlly have harem or girls around the Mc. I don't rlly see alot of similarities but both of the mcs sure did build some sort of cult surrounding them. Anyways this manhua itself is already good on its own

taoistbang says...

In both manga mc are misunderstood as a very strong and op character, both have op power that they don't realize. In both manga mc are surrounded by strong characters.

Weebnewbi says...

Very similar in terms of 

- assume that mc is op 

-mc is oblivious to everyone else's opinions

Manthika says...

Misunderstandings galore- "I'm not/ I'm really not" he says but actions and interpretations speak much louder than words- for better or worse.   "I'm not that kind of talent" is inarguably much higher quality, but the comedic and thematic vibes are so much alike I thought of the other web comic instantly 

AppleJaM says...

These mangas are very similar in a way that supernatural things are happening to them. Of course, they did it themself but it is really cool and kinda funny seeing how they are both competent and kinda but still shocking everybody.

mkdjgamer123 says...

They both have a pretentious mc in them. Both MC's show present themselves as being strong, although one is through a misunderstanding and LOTM is by choice

UnluckySituation says...

Both MC are transfered to anthoer world,

Both of them think that they are completly normal but people around them see them as strong person. 

Sudharshanan says...

                                                                                                                                                                                             

Sudharshanan says...

                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

nivlex says...

Very similar concept of the protag being reincarnated/transmigrated into a fantasy world - although one is more magic based while the other is more on the cultivation and martial arts side. In both series all the world natives sense something incredible, unfathomable, and ridiculously strong from the protagonists and gain tremendously from interacting with him - even though the protagonist himself thinks he's a regular human and doesn't intend to help as much as he does. The "clueless op protagonist helps his friends and changes the world as he does" is a good comedic trope present in both stories.

The main difference apart from the worlds is the existence of a romantic partner in when did i become unbeatable, as well as a quest system, and the fact that there's an actual backstory present in when did I become invincible. However having this additions doesn't necessarily make it better - I personally enjoyed the devil's lackey more, but both are good and funny.

crystallineblue says...

Both MCs are clueless and normal but are considered as someone great and out of the league due to the other characters' assumptions.

Wosen says...

Both manwha/manhua have the same comic vibe while one use the absurd in its main narrative (devil's lackey) the other introduce this trope of non-sense via the drama they produce Both build up their stories which make both works more and more interesting.Even though the context is completly different it shares the same vibe.However while the humour in devil's lackey is mainly made via misunderstanding. In King of drama it's made through non-sense. But both of them have a main characters that are somehow charismetic and funny.
