Shayat's Solemn Selects

Serious/Seinen themes with as less cliché elements as possible. Preferably clever and calm MCs. No harems, maybe one odd love interest but nothing frivolous. Negligible comedy tropes.

Ze Tian Ji (way of choice) is the most "calmest" and "deadliest calm" I've ever read. People in that world can literally kill each other while still joking around about normal everyday thing. Things are too calm that even deadly conflicts are just like people calmly playing chess, even the people are the one who is fighting. Surreal novel.
