Looking for a protagonist who has some goals and knows exactly what they need to do to accomplish them and then proceeds to hammer them out. Generally this is through prior knowledge or experience when entering the situations but anything goes. Bonus points for protagonists who are not afraid to get their hands dirty. Examples/explanations: FFF-Class Trashero - Has reset and is going through everything again and immediately sets out and uses past knowledge to become insanely overpowered. The Novel’s Extra - Is the author of the story he is in. Uses his knowledge as the author to seek out various items/events to become overpowered. Emperor of Solo Play - Protagonist went back to the past. Has deep knowledge of the game he is in and uses that to reach insane heights.
Reincarnator, MC is sent back into the past and he already has this whole plan of what to do before even going back.
Thriller Infinity , less applicable than reincarnation plot armor but he has a unique mind, suited for the situations he gets into.
The mercenary group of the demon lords former dragon knight Colossus Hunter Age of Adepts King of the Battlefield Tsuyokute New Saga
Divine Throne of Primordial Blood - MC is a mad scientist researching a method for common cultivators to rise to the peak without relying on bloodlines
Re: Survival The MC was one of the last survivors in a world overrun by zombies. After dying he awkaes to find himself back in his body before the start of the apocalypse. With his 5 years of experience from the prior timeline, he knows what he needs to do to survive.
Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich Fits your description pretty well, but starts pretty slowly and doesn't really introduce his goals until end of first arc (100 chapters?)
Sovereign of Judgement. Not know what he did by the means of know it all/system/reincarnation. It's more like he had a solid goal and he did what he have to do.
