1) First Recomendation: Main Character does all the hard work/has all the power/does all the stuff they have to do, but another character is the one who takes all the credit. (+Plus (but not mandatory): Poor main character gets ignored or side-lined instead.) Could be ANY genre at all: shoujo, shounen, yaoi/shonen ai, yuri/shoujo ai, seinen/josei, etc.

Examples:
Typical shoujo where A writes letters (pretending to be B) adressed to C and they fall in love and all that drama? Yes please. A guy travels to another world, is too OP but everyone thinks another is the OP one? Heck yes. Someone saves people but another is the one cheered on/being appreciated/taking the credit? Of course I want it. A Mafia boss who really gets things done but everyone/all the mafia (even the enemies) thinks that another guy is the boss 'cause of his looks or something and takes all the credit? Yup, want it, give it to me.
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Whatever plot and genre, I don't care. But it has to be one character doing all the job and another character taking the credit for it.
2) Second Recommendation: Manga with a "ugly" female main character or a "ugly" female love interest. (Where also everyone around her thinks she's plain/unattractive/ugly) Any genre is fine, I don't mind.
*I'm putting the " " because honestly, I don't think anyone's ugly, everyone's beautiful in their own way. Anyway, moving on...
3) Third Recommendation: An OP main character who is humble/not arrogant/not over-confident and/or who has low self-esteem/confidence issues. Again, any genre is fine.
I know it's a lot to ask. I tried looking in the tags but couldn't really find what I was looking for, and also in the info page of +a Alpha Status it didn't have many recs of the same plot or anything like it.
You don't have idea how much I would appreciate it if you could recommend to me something (anything!) with any of these plot devices.
If you recommend, please specify which # Recommendation you're talking about, either 1, 2, or 3.
Thank you so much!!!
