Hi, Iโm looking for good novels to read, possibly with female lead, but
NO
Handsome protagonists (or that became handsome)
Genius
Rich protagonists female/male (CEO, prince/ess, noblemen et similia)
Overpowered (like system, mega aritfact, etc)
Chosen one
Rinse and repeat
Romance (main genre, but it's okay as secondary genre )
Abusive relations
I'm looking for smart characters, cuz she/he makes smart play, not author says protagonist is smart, just words.
I know it's a lot to ask, but I'm hoping you can help me.
Thank you all for your time in advance.
