I’m looking for novel that have intelligence battle That have goal to achieve power, etc No lack ambition Like Game of throne The villainess is marrionate Code geass It have same energy right I prefer Serious novel Manipulative mc brainwash mc Tyrant mc The mc can play mc role serious Unlike when I read Japan novel the king will act like not king And the subordinate will like act the one who king in front of king Prefer character like rezef from the villainess is marionette or medeia from I wanna be u Schemer Cunning i don’t like Dumb mc
Path toward heaven. MC and Villian they both strong in physical but they fight in psychological. They both using people to achieve they goal.
if ya looking for smart mc doing smart things fighting smart people, I can recommend these novels (though they're not to the point of being manipulative tyrants): Okoborehime no Entaku no Kishi (no srsly, give it a try-- she smart smart) Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (not so much intelligent fights, but political intrigue with psychological and intelligent ways of doing things) <-- I only read the manga for this, but I'm pretty sure it's similar to the original novel too
They are jap novels with female mc i think op is probably not looking for that kind of novel i think. Divine Throne of Primordial Blood A record of mortals journey to immortality Warlock of the Magus World Carefree Path of Dreams Death sutra
Does Regressor Instruction Manual fit? The mc is pretty manipulative and smart. Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint - mc negotiates with others a lot. Lord of the Mysteries - haven’t read it yet but I think it fits the description.
