    Hm. Lord of the Mysteries.
    Not quite what you're looking for, but I would've still recommended it even if it's far off.

    Hmm... you mean, something like isekai tensei soudouki, where there are two other mind reside inside his head, but he retain his own self?
    or is it like Akuyaku Tensei Dakedo Doushite Kou Natta, where the past life is just some kind of a footnote instead of guiding force?

    i suppose isekai tensei soudouki where the mc gets the memories/souls from 2 otherworlders (a warring states commander and a modern day otaku) but it's more the two backseat driving

    Both probably, as long as it doesn't ends up like we're reading it through the lens of a 21st century modern person in a new body or transported in a new world.

    https://www.novelupdates.com/series...illainheroine-in-a-japanese-style-otome-game/ this one is a change of protagonist, from the perception of the MC in-VN character. It's focusing on happy ending, but the protagonist is actually time looping.

    Then, there is something like Dungeon Seeker, I think. The protagonist has no care to the actual transmigators like him. He is just focusing to survive iirc. He is completely naturalized to that world.

    What else... honestly, if you look at the villainess genre, there's a lot that had the protagonist naturalized. Female protagonist + reincarnation, but with story that less focused on bad ending and/or romance is just what you want to seek.

    How about Top Management

    The MC has a special ability to look at his "future self".

    I believe The Silly Alchemist fits, he does become a bit more mentally compitent but he does retain his personality
