Looking for light novels/webnovels with an intelligent main cast. A scheming main character would be best.
What I mean by that is not a character that we are told is intelligent, but never does anything intelligent aside from reading books a lot and having a cheat for science.
What I want is a character making plans, scheming all the time and outwitting other characters.
Novels I read that would fit this:
The King's Avatar
Dungeon Defense
Overlord
My disciple died yet again

One Outs.

Thank you, but I am looking for novels, not manga. Basically everything text based is fine.
Log Horizon maybe?
>>299694
No Game No Life.
"The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy"; by Douglas Adams.

Oh, there is a novel for that? I watched the anime, but will give this a look.
>>299956
Same as with Log, watched the anime, didn't know about novels, will check out.

I read this a while back, ty.
I'm also interested in Chinese/Korean novels in this vein since they have different themes compared to western or japanese ones and tend to feel fresher to me.

Well it's r****t thread, but has a fuckton of direct links to translated web novels. Korean ones seem to be well highlighted.
