    I'm tired of my mc's getting forced, or passing out due to papapa, and being weaker than the ml. Does anyone have any recommendations? Im about to read Heroine saves a gentleman, and im hoping that the synopsis holds true, and she, a martial artist, is stronger than the scholar male lead, and he doesnt turn out to be some hidden, smartest scholar and strongest warrior bs.

    It´s not easy to be a man ater travelling to the future.
    I stopped reading it because of time somewhere around ch.300, but until then there were no signs of any ML at all and if, her goal would be to beat him down and make him hers xD
    So, up until that point, it didn´t seems like there would be a stronger overbearing ML.
    great MC, nice power up arc. i just lost some interest when it put much emphasis on Mechs.

    The Empress’s Livestream
    Don’t be fooled by the synopsis, this and It’s Not Easy to Be A Man After Travelling to the Future are the only ones I know where the female MC are genuinely and consistently more powerful (physically and socially) than most everyone else (including their love interest). Both stories’ FMC are combat oriented and there’s kingdom building later on in the story, with each building their own army and all the combat with politics and romance woven in the story. The biggest difference is TEL is in historical China, the other one is sci-fi.

    Against the God, so much so that people are complaining the Male Lead is only good at hiding behind his wives' backs

    The romance is really slow to develop in this one. It has yaoi tones since the ml thinks the fl is a guy, and him being confused about his gender. Starts slowly building around chapter 800 or so

    Try anything that is not Chinese? There are a few rare exceptions but currently in almost all Chinese novels males are stronger than females. Hope things will change in a few years.

    That said, here are some novels where the protagonist is the strongest, mind that not in all of them there's a male lead:
    Evil God Average
    Ore no Osananajimi wa Joshikousei de Yuusha, in this one the relation between the female lead and the protagonist is very twisted although she is actually unmatched.
    Shini Yasui Kōshaku Reijō to Shichi-nin no Kikōshi, here the protagonist, Erica, is a big mf and has several guys in her harem.
    Akuyaku Tensei Dakedo Doushite Kou Natta
    Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, mofu mofu world conquest by the protagonist. No male leads so far and yuri has been hinted here and there. Also, this series has an anime in the works.
    Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? protagonist is one of the main characters and
    has one of the most important roles in her world.
    This one has an anime in the works too.
