    This one counts too. It features a scapegoat who manipulates the other party into obeying his every word, using others to expand his own power. Many of the plot points are novel, as you can tell from the synopsis. The setting is original, the imagination is vast, and it takes an ordinary thing and develops it in a very clever way. The plot and character design are also good; it's not just a rehash of old ideas. It's not mindless; it's logical and well-reasoned. It's not the kind of book where you simply become stronger and crush others, but rather the kind that makes you exclaim, "Wow, that's possible!"—A thrill of seeing something new and exciting. The power system is also innovative, and the explanations and various levels of combat power are presented quite intuitively, giving the impression that if supernatural powers existed in reality, you could train based on this.
