Could u make this but with ML? 🙏

Do you mean stories with a male protagonist in general? Do the genres matter to u

Genre doesn't matter
Just a list similar to this where the ml is smart but not frustrating (there's a lot where he's marketed as smart but is stupid or naive)
Preferably no harem if it's not too much

I dislike harem as well, so I’d never include it. I feel like two of my existing lists overlap somewhat with what you’re looking for. However, I’ve also started working on a new list, though it still needs to be organized.
To decide whether an MC isn’t frustrating, I’d have to read pretty far into the story, so it’s going to take some time. But you can look forward to it once it’s finally finished!

Thank you SM :D
