This MC is initially presented as a normal person living an average, everyday life that he is content with. However, due to circumstances outside of his control, he finds himself involved with a special organization of some kind. This organization is filled with many other characters whose backstories are far more interesting, remarkable, tragic, etc., whereas he is still shown to be a regular guy whose own life has been comparably boring compared to his peers.

Basically, he's an ordinary guy forced into an extraordinary setting. However, he can come across as boring and bland compared to the other characters (perhaps intentionally so).

Going from this, which would you prefer to happen with the MC?

A - The MC remains the normal/average guy, though he excels in his duties while in the service of the organization.

or

B - It's revealed much later that there IS something extraordinarily special about the MC; to the point that even he is surprised when it is revealed. There is little to no foreshadowing of this twist.

I always prefer A, though playing a game with B every now and then is fun. I like B if it isn't overdone, but it kinda is. It's not a fun twist if you expect it, tbh.

Probably A.

This plot sounds a lot like Danganronpa 1.

B is totally overused. I'd rather he have to work to keep up. However, a little bit of B mixed into A could be nice, rather than full on B.

It's supposed to be HitTheGroundWalking.

B is a relic of classist ideology.

Revealing someone to secretly be the lost heir of a royal family or a person chosen by fate is a roundabout way of saying that importance is inherent and the common person can accomplish little or nothing.

A. Deus Ex Machinas are rarely pulled off correctly.

I prefer C though, where he slowly accumulates experiences and tradgedies etc to pull him inline with his peers
