    Hi guys

    Like the title says, what's your favourite/memorable scheme/strategy in the novel?

    My favourite is in dungeon defense,where mc stays in the cage for an entire week and controls direction of the war.
    I don't know the exact details but i love that arc very much.

    Nightfall. Have some really awesome trap that span years, multiple sacrifices and unexpected collusion.
    I just read the latest chapter and got legit mindblown. Like, wtf. Something that happen in passing years ago was actually the crux part of a grand scheme. Everything start to click and the previous interaction makes sense.
    Ugh can't say it cause spoilers, but i am totally still fanboy excited.

    I'm not sure too many to choose from.Some candidates are:

    When Isaac pretended to be a gambling addict and ended up winning in the casino and gaining control over the enemy city's waterways.

    Regis and Ikta's strategies/tactics. There are too many to count.

    Souma's trick to win the civil war, kill off the corrupt nobles and capture territory from an enemy nation all in 1 month.



    P.S. Dantalian scheme was reliant on both Laura and Elizabeth's tactical abilities. He isn't that good at battle tactics.

    This is completely random and unrelated but, what are the powers of the Mc in that novel? I always wanted to start it but I get put off by how long it seems to take for him to start cultivating.

    In THE novel or in A novel?

    A quick couple

    Martial King's Retired Life - Jinganā€˜s big reveal moment (I remember readers dropping holy s*** type of bombs that day)

    My Yandere Succubus Daughter is Mommy Warrior's Natural Enemy - Bit of a spoiler
    Lin Dongqing taking on an entire city by himself with no money in his pocket. He's not a combatant, so it's pure schemes.
    . Also going to include the conversations between Queen Sisi and Lin Dongqing; every time they converse, they're trying to pry information out of each other or set a trap for the other. All the subtle mannerisms and places between the lines... love it.

    Nirvana in Fire - Geez, where do I start here... Mei Changsu/Su Zhe/Lin Shu using his misleading and sowing discord tactics.

    The Four - Ji Yaohua, 'nuff said.

    Hard to answer the question without spoilers, lol.

    I think the strategies from Altina the Sword Princess are really great. Like, the one from volume 2 or 3? I don't remember. But it was the only one that did not have a large scale battle as the focus. It happened at the castle instead of a battlefield and it was like a mind game of chess where at the end you find out the weak and cowardly MC had been controlling a room full of powerful and authoritative people on the top of his palm the whole time.

    Also some clever moments from Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria. I don't remember much since I read it so long ago, but each volume impressed me with it's absolute genius level characters. Main character or side character or villain character, they are all just so freaking smart.

    Edit: OH yea! And also Rokka no Yuusha. That's also one with a lot of brainy moments. I really liked the part how the MC figured out the identity of the fruit demon or whatever.

    And basically every mystery solved in Hyouka is my absolute favorite, I just love how the MC solves so many complex mysteries in his head just because he's too lazy to get up.

    my favorite scheme was the one in Dungeon Defense where Dantalian took advantage of the game's knowledge and monopolize the black herbs. I was like "that's how you took advantage of your knowledge"

    Yeah it took him long to even start cultivating and longer to get really strong but the novel isn't like standard cultivation novel ladder like plot, train, get strong, fight stronger enemies, gets stronger, fight stronger enemies and so on.
    This novel is more story oriented. The characters in the story doesn't revolve around the MC, they have their own plots and agenda and really fleshed out. So progress is slow but satisfying.
    Honestly Ning que, the reincarnated from earth MC, have no cheat so to speak. He got exceptional mental ability, which is important for practicing special skills but not cultivation in general. He's good in killing, but thats because of his heartbreaking back story where he have to kill to survive growing up.
    The truly most important ability he have, imo, is that he's a reincarnated soul from another world. Not that he retains past world memory, but the fact he is from another world. Why that is important are explained in the later part of the story. The gist of it, Its not because he is the MC that he is a reincarnated soul from another world, he is the MC BECAUSE he is a reincarnated soul from another world. If that make sense.
    Sorry for the text block, but i'm really hype for the novel. Lol

    My favorite scheme is at Overlord Vol 10. When Ainz with all his clueless and innocent act, end up being labeled as a moster of schemer :blobjoy:

    I also really like it when Roland from The Experimental Log of Crazy Lich reveal his scheme to make hell with the other god:blob_sunglasses:

    Fang Yuan (Reverend insanity) scheme after being betrayed by Bai Ning Bing is so dope!:blobxd:

    The mc keeping his Status as a blind to sniff his enemy out in the divine throne of primordial blood is also a good one.

    Let's see, is my favorite moment when Cale Henituse manipulated the entire world into believing he was a self-sacrificing paragon of good? Or when Cale Henituse tricked a small town into thinking him to be a trash drunkard in order to expose slave trading? Or when Cale Henituse intentionally acted weak and ignorant to mislead the enemy prince into thinking he was a dying, expendable ally? Or when Cale Henituse pretended to be a kind priest while stealing under the nose of the leader of the Wyvern Knights and sending him mistranslated threats, only to show up before him on the battlefield of his front step in his full glory? Or is it when our Lord and Savior, Cale Henituse, collaborated with the enemy of his enemy in order to plant spies right by the throat of the beast?

    I'll admit it, I'm going through backlogs to find excuses to worship Trash of the Count's Family, but you gotta admit, when it comes to scheming and strategy, Cale Henituse is ahead of the curb.

    Kingdom Manga.

    Ousen raids nearby villages without killing the people, they in turn head towards major city to seek protection and food.
    Very quickly the city ,becomes full of asylum seekers.

    A strategy designed to overload the defending city, makes siege so much more difficult.

    Can vouch that this works splendidly , tested in Total War 3 Kingdoms , bought out all farming provinces , all of china begged me for food, to the point they would sell whole provinces for a loaf of bread.
    Thanks Ousen for breaking my game.

    Also Masters in Starcraft 2. I spend 3 yrs , 4-8hour a day studying strategies.
