The MC is OP and the subordinates aswell.The organization may be evil or friendly, but it's always quite hidden and secretive.

Don't hesitate to give your opinion about my list or to ask me to make another list with another theme :D

Also, tell me if you know any other similar novel that I forgot or didn't know about it (I would love to read it aswell :P) <<less

My personal list for this niche genre of novels - will be adding as I read. Charisma and leadership do not come easy, but they sure as hell come naturally for these protagonists. Charismatic MCs with significant focus on character and ability growth, kingdom / army / career development & management, and/or wholesome friendships / brotherhood. Romance (if any) will only be subplots, not the main focus. I've put short descriptions and summaries of every novel, plus my thoughts on them.... more>>

Arranged from best > worst > boring reading experience. I change my ratings often. Feel free to recommend more or point out any mistakes in my sorting of this list. Cheers!

*[CC] - Collecting Companions, aka collecting and raising loyal companions. Brotherhood, friendship, blablabla. [CC] focuses more on picking up and raising companions without necessarily having to develop a full kingdom/empire.

*[KB] - Kingdom Building. I'll use this abbreviation as a general umbrella term for anything to do with (insert noun)-building and management. [KB] by association would also include raising the people in that empire/kingdom, but the novels focus more on the development/management part. <<less

Like I said,they are really unforgettable that they pop out in my mind at any free time.

Essentially, either a weak or strong protagonist has subordinates or people who are all very loyal and protective/possessive of him. Most of them are stronger than the MC. There are mainly male protagonists, but female protagonists are included.... more>>

HAREM OR ROMANCE-FOCUSED ARE INCLUDED! I will write comments of how slow or fast the pacing the romance of each novel is. For explicit novels, please check the tags yourself.

A list with characters who are fond of plotting against their enemies, are uncovering great schemes and/or of characters who are caught in the schemes of their enemies. ... more>>

Stories with big schemes that will make your mind blow and your head dizzy.

Top 17 are some of the most scheming protagonists imo, only the first three are ranked according to whom I belive are the most schemming of all, the other ones were hard to decide qwq, though they are more or less ranked too. Those guys are really cunning...

The ones more at the bottom are, either not soooo schemming or not really schemming at all, they were caught in other people's schemes and conspiracies, don't know if it would be convinient to point them out to differenciate. <<less

These are the works that I enjoyed the most. I believe they are gems that must be read.

Romance is not really my cup of tea, but I love me some good ol bromance. That's it.... more>>

All of these are just *chef's kiss* but I'm too lazy to write a review, so just try it for yourself.

It's mostly action-fantasy genre with no romance (i think).

Enjoy~ <<less
