    I'm looking for any novel (translated, original, fanfic) with an MC that has a strategic mindset that plans things out and prepares for a conflict.

    Something like setting up hidden gun and supply stashes, having contigency plans, or at least just have a rough plan of action or goal while thinking quick on their feet with a tactical mind. Something like counting the ammo of the enemy or having multiple points of retreat.

    Batman and John Wick are what comes to mind. As for novels, Trash of the Count's Family, Kill the Hero, Man Off the Moon, etc.

    Not just reactive, but also proactive in dealing with problems. MCs who don't just go with the flow and deal with things as they come.

    I want an MC that thinks even a few minutes into the future. The type who don't just rely on pure overpoweredness in ability or stats and plot armor/luck. Something where skill, expierence, and intellect shines.

    Finished it and loved it. I love Zorian as a character. His planning and mindset really carried the whole story and

    "Experimental Log of Crazy Lich". MC has legendary bad luck, in his case saying "if something could go wrong, it will go wrong" sums his life 100% correct. So his only choice is always plan and scheme and even then something new from left field could appear and smack him. On downside many of his schemes is not spoke of until he need them so it could be seen as deus ex machina or asspull, but since it's comedy it will depend on reader, so try it .
