it's too often the powerfantasy wishfulfillment of a MC turning out to get OP after fate decides so.

but what about stories where fate humbles the demon lord? the infinite regressor becoming a simple villager?

I can't remember the title, but there was one manga about a demon lord that decided to reincarnate as an average person, but the average person in his era was really powerful compared to the people of the era he was reborn to, so it defeats the purpose since he was still considered OP despite the big nerf.
