I been thinking about this for a while. First with a the significant other of a hero without powers or a helping role, where we see their day to day life and how they feel insignificant next to the hero and all the action that take place away from them for the most. See different relations, ones where the hero over compensates for short-comings, one where they are toxic or even abuse panther in their. Mentors for heroes, who start the story with as mentors, mother/parents of heroes. Also when i mean full story, i don't mean a single episode in a series or a poltline in a book, but a fully completed story centered around them alone.

some archs i thought of:

-the comedic relief -the powerhouse(usually written as dumb) -the villain(that is not just a serial killer) -the future seer/oracle

Feel free to add media/stories use the arch for the full stories

The research and limits of magic parts especially. The chinese cultivation novel genre get somewhat close but they still need to have new conflicts from time to time.

Tho for games I still have noita.

First few runs go somewhat far but game is hard and dying resets every single stat so once you realize your knowledge is the only persisting upgrade it just becomes research game.

Game still autosaves on exit despite permadeath. I seen runs where people visit paraller words just to gather resources for alchemy materials.

Knowledge is actually OP in the game because you can use it for alchemy or modifying wands or alchemy.

But yeah I really want a book equivalent where I can just see someone who is messing around with the fantasy world and trying to learn it.
