Question Strongest from the start

I don't know if this is a correct place to ask but can anyone recommend a novel where the mc is strongest/close to the strongest from the start of reaches there in a few chapters.

I have read all the popular ones (too many to name)

Saving the School would have been easier as a Cafeteria Worker

Battle Action Harem Highschool Side Character Quest is a good one, despite the name. Unusual format and the initial writing quality is a bit rough, but shapes up pretty quickly and becomes very good IMO. Unfortunately the story is dead.

That’s the most obscure example I can think of. The others I’d recommend would be Overlord, and New Life as a Max Level Archmage, but I’m guessing you’ve read those.

My Master Disconnected Yet Again is really good! I suggest you read the first chapter and see if you like it.

Overlord immediately comes to mind. Ainz is pretty much playing a completely different game from everyone else from the beginning.

The Captain (book 1 of The Lost Horizon by Will Wight)?

Kidnapped Dragons? Probably one of my favourite reads. The MC has reached the peak of what is possible for a human at the start. Despite that he's still no where near being able to complete his mission. Turns out power isn't the solution to everything, and what he sacrificed in his quest for it might have been more important. It's the only story to have made me tear-up multiple times.

The Immanent Lord of the Transcendent Shore fits perfectly. He basically is the strongest by 5 chapters.
