After reading about 'stupid good', 'honor before reason', 'nice job breaking it hero', 'idiot hero', 'idiot ball' 'reckless pacifist', 'didn't think this through', 'unintentionally unsympathetic' etc. on tvtropes, I have to ask: Does anyone know a manga, fanfiction, webnovel, anime, novels, etc. with a protagonist who: - doesn't drag their feet, get blindsided or trip over their beliefs/principles. For example, they believe in gender equality, doesn't hold back against threats just because they're little kids, willing to resort to assassinations and mind control, doesn't wangst about the sanctity of enemy lives or that of lowlifes, etc. Or if they were isekai'd and/or reincarnated to to ancient or feudal times or a fantasy world similar to it, they're well aware of values dissonance and knows better than to be opinionated or pushy about 21st century morals and ideals. - looks before they leap, doesn't charge in without a plan, takes precautions and aware of potential consequences. - doesn't blindly trust strangers - doesn't rely on plot armor to survive and succeed. - doesn't grab the idiot ball for the sake of drama - has the resolve to make hard decisions - Proactive instead of reactive, doesn't let potential problems fester.
