    I'm wondering if there are any novels where the MC specializes in poisons (such as coating their weapons in such and having a variety to fit the situation or using martial arts that debilitate the body in a similar manner). Sort of a niche classification, so I'm really just wondering if such a story exists

    It's more like a gimmick in that story, but I like the times when the MC uses poison practically or figures out how to purify things with the knowledge given to him.

    Kusuriya no Hitorigoto. I haven’t read the novel yet, but I love the manga. MC is more like a poison detective rather than a weapon specialist, though.

    Another person added to the "don't ever eat anything from them ever list" . Just because it's unlikely I'll ever run into them outside this forum doesn't mean I should ignore their interest in poison using ...

    Meaning you hide the poison well enough that your victims and the police never have a clue?
