I'm looking for novels where the protagonist has a unique or unusual skill that initially seems like a disadvantage but becomes their greatest strength. Are there any like that?
Absolutely! The idea of a seemingly weak or flawed ability turning into a powerful asset is a popular trope. A great example of this is "I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything". The protagonist, Mimori Touka, is reborn into a world where he's considered a mob character, and his skills are initially perceived as failures. However, this very 'failure frame' and his abnormal state skills are what allow him to overcome expectations and become incredibly powerful. The narrative explores how what others see as weaknesses can be reinterpreted and honed into unique strengths, leading to unexpected triumphs.
