So a quite a while ago, I read Dungeon Defense and it became my favorite novel ever since (title is misleading -.-). Then, I came across Ourobus Record - Circus of Oubeniel -, which has an mc with a similar style or vibe to the mc of Dungeon Defense. So I was wondering if there are anymore like these that I am not aware of. Basically the common factor of these two novels is an mc that is really evil and that is not that personally strong (if he has any strength at all, meaning that he will rely on subordinates for strength) but is op in terms of intelligence. (Reverend Insanity does not count cause mc is personally strong and not that op smart) *remember, mc must be evil*
Huh... Reverend Insanity is the only one I can think of tbh, and Dungeon Defense is in my top 2 of novels in this site. That was a pretty intriguing read
I will be interested in translating anti hero novels, so you can suggest raws too. Cheers! Oh try Crimson Dragon
There was a novel that i cant remember i think something maria. MC had to break out of loops with only his brain and help of some girl name maria
Akugyaku no Black Maria? Or something like that. The MC is actually really good at what he does, though...though he IS kind of weak skill-wise and everything (he uses OTHER means to accomplish what he needs to accomplish, heh)....but yeah, that was a pretty good read (what I'd read, anyway). ^^
I found Your and My Asylum to have a similar feel as Dungeon Defence. The mc aint as antihero but there's still a crazy cast and somewhat manipulative, intelligent mc. Utsuro no hako to zero no maria
Yes that was it. There was a big twist at the end if i remember correctly. It was really long ago when i read it.
Ugh there's no one recommend The Evil Organization's Recruitment Ad Then I'll be the one, have a nice read
I'm pretty sure this is not what OP wanted. Protagonist is dumb and overpowered as hell. He also has unreal luck (threw a knife into the map without looking, hit right the location of an enemy base). He never made a single strategy. Edit:made a mistake thought about a diffdiffe novel for some reason.
I think you're misunderstand novel " The Evil Organization's Recruitment Ad " with novel " To Be a Power in the Shadows! ", those two novel are different story, also if my memory not wrong I never read scene where Komori Neito throw knife at map. The MC who throw random knife at map and just happens to hit a secret base is MC from " To Be a Power in the Shadows! ".
Komori Neito from The Evil Organization's Recruitment Ad is not dumd, he's person at average level, people around him are so strong, briliant, handsome, Komori know he have non of these things that's why he learn to be better, even with that he still can't be on par with them. To beat his enemies take advice from his friends and acquaintances, with his cunning mind and he even willing to use despicable methods to accomplish his goal.
But only people who read, watch tokusatsu shows can really enjoy this one. Cause the people act like those on tokusatsu shows. . People can call em dumb but I see em as nostalgia.
