Looking for a novel where the MC just does whatever he/she wants. The other characters view them as slippery and hard to handle and deal with. I would prefer fantasy but honestly I'm cool without.
What do you mean by slippery ? A MC who is sneaky(assassin for example) ? A MC who just dodge embarrassing situation ? A schemer ? P.S: I'm drunk so I'm in good mood to help. But in the future at least say hello !
Have you read Konosuba? I'm pretty sure Satou Kazuma fits your criteria. How about Phantom Thief Jeanne?(It's a manga) I think most thief stories would work for you. I don't know if Novel Updates has any recent thief novels to read.
Tensei shittara Slime Datta Ken , mc can be slippy laterally As for real recommendation, long live summon
My interpretation of "does whatever he/she wants" is a 'my-pace' kinda character like Yu IlHan from Everyone Else is a Returnee or ZWQ from Heavenly Jewel Change. Let me know if this is what you are looking for, I've got a few more. **Edit: Just posted and saw OP's clarification. Then let's add Emperor's Domination, I Shall Seal the Heavens, A Will Eternal, Immortal Mortal, and Zhanxian. **Edit2: You could also do a tag search for Cunning Protagonist.
Thanks. Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich is a really good one ! (I rate this one at 4.5/5) The Human Emperor . (Id rate this one at 3/5) Emperor's Domination (I rate this one at 4/5, though this is a story of a OP MC more than a schemer, but there is a lot a scheme, though quite basic one) Warlock of the Magus World (I rate at 4.5/5, very "slippery" MC, I recommend this one absolutely) The Grandmaster Strategist (I'd rate this one at 4.85/5, if you want schemer MC, this is a must read !) I only have those one in my head right now, if I find another I'll post later, good read ! As much as I love ISSTH I don't think that the type of novel he is searching (but still OP read it)
Library of Heaven's Path - MC is slick, sometimes creates hilarious misunderstandings History's Strongest Senior Brother - MC is OP, basically just does whatever he wants~~
