Looking for novels where the MC's weapon mainly is their mind. They can have abilities and such, but the main "weapon" should be their tactics and strategies. Requests: Male MC (preferably), No yaoi/yuri, and no "reduction in other characters iq" to make the MC seem smarter. It's probably impossible to find a novel on the level of Dungeon Defense, but no 1-dimensional 1-braincelled characters plz.
Maybe these? Trash of the Count’s Family Regressor Instruction Manual How to Live as the Enemy Prince Isaac Release the Witch

Phoenix Destiny Rare female MC who cultivates like a male (no poison, healing,... only her martial arts). Her super power is maths or analysing the moves of her opponents.
World apocalypse online. The mc always defeat his opponent which are several level stronger than him by using strategy. It's quite good.
Thanks for the suggestions I've watched the anime and read the manga, if the novel is at least the same level, this should be good, thx! hmm, haven't heard about it. I'll look it up, thx! I was wondering about this one. But since you've recommended it, sure. oh really, nice! I'll check it out later if it's public. One of my favorites. Have read all but the third, I'll check it out, thx! Well I've read quite a bit of it actually, yes. Thx Another recommendation for Grandmaster Strategist? Nice, I'll definitely look it up. Instant Kill? This seems new for me, thx! Hmm, sounds intriguing. thx I liked the start, thx! I tried reading this, but something kept bugging me, like a fishbone in my throat. But, I might give it another go, thx.
Lord of the Mysteries. You won't hear how smart the MC is from the "audience" in the novel, no that's not that kind of novel. You will know
