    I'm looking for novels like:


    Arslan Senki is pretty similar but a weaker version. It seems to be lacking in Romance, and the MC is not a tactician like the MC of the above 3. SO I wouldn't really add it here.

    Fan service, Ecchi, Harem(e.g Madan) as long as it doesn't detract from and is incorporated into the plot again like in Madan is acceptable.

    I prefer a European setting to an Asian or otherwise setting.

    Magic can be incorporated, but is not necessary.

    An Epic Fantasy is always welcome.

    I'll add more novels to the poll as they are recommended.


    EDIT

    Neither Fanservice, Ecchi nor Harem is a requirement. I'm merely saying that they are acceptable if they are handled well. I won't turn away an otherwise perfectly good story(like Madan) just because of Ecchi, Harem, Fanservice if they don't detract from the story.

    However if any of the above 3 are not handled well, it's a minus in my books. I'm not looking for stories with Ecchi or Harem

    Release that Witch fits all of your requirements except for the ecchi and harem part. I recommend it to you

    The MC is not a tactician

    and also ecchi harem;)
    EDIT: Sekai no owari no encore also counts

    No! no! no!
    Ecchi and harem aren't a requirement. I'm just okay with them.

    Rakuin no Monshou has none of that(and as at volume 6, there was no romantic development).

    I'm definitely taking a look at Release that Witch. It also got recommended on my other thread as well.

    Altina the Sword Princess. This fits exactly what you're looking for. It features a one-two punch combo. The main male character, Regis, is the brain as he creates the strategies during the battles and the princess mentioned in the title, Altina, is the muscle behind Regis as she's an incredibly strong fighter. The plot is driven by politics and the war that ensues.

    Eh, I'd probably say they both fit very well. They both contain war, politics, romance, and a medieval setting. So they both check everything off the list. Both are good stories so reading either wouldn't be bad.

    Agreed.
    If you prefer bright side of story go for Altina the Sword Princess.
    If you curious about dark side of story go for Dungeon Defence.

    Ashes and Kingdoms it has war, poverty, family feelings, refugees, soldier mc, the only bad side of this is that there are only 3 chapters so i cant say whether it matches your requirements but it probably is similar to Arlsan Senki...

    If you don't mind to much about an absence of romance, The Girl Who Ate a Death God is easily my favorite in terms of military strategy. There's an army battle almost each chapter (if I remember correctly), with many diverse scenarios such as sieges, mountain crosses, a river cross, an open plain, highground, guerilla warfare, attacking supply lines, etc. While our dear MC is an OP killing machine, she's still far from a one-man-army, and is on the evil-fated-to-lose side. It gives her a feeling of a final boss in a way.
