It doesn't have to be an Asian novel. I might be forced to buy or look up pirated copies

So... basically you want something where the MC is Wormtongue? That could be interesting.

I heard 'The Lions of Al Rassan' has a bit of what you're looking for, and 'The Black Company' series probably too. Mind you, both of these do not have a single main character so it's not clear-cut.

The writer of the first has a slower writing styles and his books generally have a strong human and/or tragic aspect to them. His books need attention though, if you know what I mean.

The second one, a series, can be a slug to get through at times but it's a unique series, focusing a lot on the moral grey. Well, at least that's what I heard because I dropped this one early on. I'll take part of the blame for that though.

Same for Tigana of the same writer.

But I don't think any of these will give you the vibes you're looking for, let me think some more.

Oh, Robbin Hobb! Farseer might give a bit of what you're looking for.

Aha, some of Raymond E. Feist's books.

Oh darnit, I'm giving advisor recommendations not puppeteer ...

Yea, again I cannot give a satisfactory answer. These books are worth the try though.

From Feist, try Jimmy The Hand, The Empire Trilogy, and yea ... maybe Talon of the Silver Hawk.
