Hi,

I'm looking for books that follow the main character developing into someone more skilled or powerful or special in some way.

Optional:
It'd also be great if the main character gets thrust into a completely new setting or lifestyle and has to adjust and adapt to it. Also, my favorite genres are Romance, Dystopia, and Fantasy/Scifi. Again, these are optional -- I'm mostly just looking for the zero-to-hero character evolution.

Examples containing all of the above:
Harry Potter, Divergent, The Hunger Games, Poison Study, The Maze Runner, Ender's Game.

Edit:
I forgot to mention that I usually don't enjoy slow-paced novels, or stories weighed down by lots of description or complex, excessive world-building. Same goes for "deep" works that thrive on symbolism, metaphor, heavy psychology/philosophy, etc.
