    I've been looking for a webtoon or manga with non-stereotyped female MC, which does combats and fights
    The girl isn't clumsy, naive or annoying. She should be normal ->not always thinking about finding the love of her life.
    There can be romance as long as it's not the whole plot
    I've read Knuckle Girl (and am waiting for the following chapters)
    the story doesn't need to be finished.
    Do you know of anything similar?
    And if there's no fighting but the girl is a badass it's also okay as long as the story isn't mainly romance but original instead. (Arte for example, or Hengoku no Schwester)
    thank you :)

    oh! I've read that one too ..
    It's great but the MC is still a house wife? I enjoyed it but what I'm looking for rn is one with a female mc who does the action and doesn't need to be rescued

    It’s an anime based off a novel, but how about Saiunkoku Monogatari?

    Webtoon:
    Reminiscence Adonis (Has the time-travel trope. There is some romance, but most of the story so far is based on the MC figuring out what to do to avoid the past.)

    Manga:
    Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (She's not physically strong, but her personality is really amazing)
    May I Please Ask You Just One Last Thing? (One of those "villainess gets revenge" stories, but there's no reincarnation/transmigration.)
    Raise wa Tanin ga Ii (MC has a really unique personality, and the story is quite dark due to the yakuza plot)
    Basara (Really old manga, but I consider it a classic. MC starts off naive/immature but grows into her role and position and learns how to fight and lead people.)

    Akatsuki no Yona, the MC starts as the typical MC you wouldnt like but she soon is forced to grow and fight for herself, so even if it doesnt hook you in the beginning give it a bit a chance cuz youll love it a lot later on ^^
    Reimei no Arcana, Cheese in the trap (well its not about fights but more like psychological specially towards the beginning, still i think u might like it). In akuma to love song mc also had quite the sharp and strong character iirc...

    Legend of Basara is one of my all time favorite manga. Kusuriya is also pretty awesome. So I double recommend them.

    I second this recommendation
    Kubera is a girl with god name with a mysterious past, and a hidden twisted mind. At first, she appeared as an innocent girl. But you will gradually see her darkness. She has a tragic destiny. Strong, beautiful and tragic. As a reader, sometimes I miss her innocence day
    Her love story is also tragic. Her love interest is Yuta. A Taraka clan's prince. I believe even though he is the definition of darkness, he will be the one who guide her through the light
    There's a lot of badass female protagonist here, other than Kubera
    I love how author cleverly give us hint about Kubera's tragic fate, the betrayal of her close friend, and how detail the Kubera's webtoon world
    I really recommend Kubera if you are looking for high quality story that not mainly romance

    The manga that I think you may also like :
    - Akatsuki No Yona
    - The Promised Neverland
    - Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii
    - Song fo The Long March
    - Kusuriya no Hitorigoto

    The other manhwa, other than Kubera that I think you may like (btw, I read it at mangahasu) :
    - My Lord, The Wolf Queen
    - This girl is a little wild
    - Light and Shadow
    - Miss not so sidekick
    - Goddess Creation System
    - The Lady and Her Butler
    - Dear, Only You Don't Know!
    - Unordinary (Hmm.. I think it's slightly off, but Sera as a heroine is really badass)

    I think maybe you already read some of them. I hope it help you

    Adonis webtoon should be your taste i think, mc went back to past after dying and had sworn to become the knight under the guy who killed her since that was an oath she had made to herself when she was younger, but for some reasons was never able to accomplish. She is quite the unrivaled swordsmwoman, and has an unyielding character and never allows herself to be wronged by others...
