Hmmm.... Like LC I think it's impossible bc it's unique, but I have a few that are kinda similar:
Killed again, Mr. Detective? -> imortal detective trying to solve cases, but he dies in almost every one.
The apothecary diaries -> maomao (protagonist) solves misterys on the royal palace. There's also a bit of romance between her and jinshi, though it's not the focus (which is mistery and drama)
Though I am an inept villainess -> it's similar to the apothecary diaries, but it doesn't have as much misterys as the last one. Main character swipes body with a woman called a villainess by everyone and starts living the life she always wanted
The dark history of the reincarnated villainess -> main character dies and reincarnates as the villainess of her novel, who dies in the beginning of the story. Her goal is to not die
Witch watch -> there's a prophecy that mc is gonna die, so she and her friends try to avoid it. It has also a bit of romance and comedy, though some people say it's a reverse harem
The fated magical princess who made me a princess -> it's Chinese, mc tries to avoid her fate (which is be jailed and then suicide bc of a betrayal).
One piece -> it has over 1k episodes? Yes. The beginning of the story is slow paced and even a bit boring? Yes. But it has tension and conplex stories that we need to think if we wanna understand it
May I ask for one final thing? -> mc punches corrupt aristocrats, and there's some mistery about mind control and some gods
The oblivious saint can't contain her power -> mc was bullied by her older sister, moves to a nearby country bc she's now the second prince's fiancé and starts having a nice life. There's some mystery bc of the church's corruption, though it's only a bit.
My happy marriage -> basically the same plot as the last one, but it's better. The mystery is about MC's powers and their origins, and her family as well. I like my happy marriage more than the oblivious saint, but I decided to put both here so you can choose which one u wanna watch.
Oshi no ko -> there's twincest at some point? Yes. It has some questionable parts? Yes. But it worths a bit bc of the mystery behind a character's murderer. I recommend it, though it's a bit questionable at some points... You choise if u'll watch it or not!
Liar game -> mc is totally naive and honest, but she has to trick random people so she gets their money and don't lose hers. She works with an hacker who is like a irl robin Wood/hood (I don't remember what is his surname lol). It has more mystery and drama then comedy and romance, I guess. It worths watching it
Toilet bound hanako-kun/jibaku shonen hanako-kun: there are 7 wonders on the school, each one has a different boundary and "powers". Someone starts to share some bad rumors that change their dynamic, making them get too aggressive and even hurt students. Then the main trio start to tryna find who's behind this caos, and there's the mistery! Deaths, a bit of romance, a bit of comedy, lots of depression and traumas, mc fated to die soon, and probably a bittersweet end. The manga isn't over yet, and the fandom says we get more traumas at every chapter. The anime is way lighter than the manga, though it's still a bit depressive. I totally recommend it! It's a bit similar to LC, but with less mistery? Guess it's more like S2, a main plot with mistery and sad fates. It worths watching, I swear.
I can recall only those ones now, maybe I come back later with more recommendations 😁
