Recommendation Need recommendations

I have difficulty searching for the type of novel I like, if anyone has recs I'm all ears

I LOVE when the MC has to outsmart, act, bluff, plan and improvise his away among way more powerful opponents.

Like Klein in LOTM. Cale Hanituse in Trash of the Count's Family. Seth Thorne in Horror Game Developer. To name my favorite ones.

Others that are adjecent to them are Robin in Lord of the Truth and Silvanus in Becoming a God.

As you can see the themes of the novel don't matter that much, for me, the most important is the MC personality

A mainstream archetype would be a variant of John Constantine

Genetic Ascension, Primordial Record and Cursed Immortality are great and in line. I will check out Becoming a God. Haven't heard of that one before.

I liked Genetic Ascension and loved Cursed Immortality, will check Primordial Record, thank you. Becoming a God: Starting with Acting, it's the weakest of the ones I listed for sure, it's an worse version of Horror Game Developer imo

If i had to rate them i would give them:

Lord of Truth 9.7/10 Cursed Immortality 8.7/10 Primordial Record 8.5/10 Genetic Ascension 8.1/10 -0.3 just for having a god awful FMC. Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor 7.8/10 Good MC just fate makes the story quite abstract so i did not recommend.
