   You should check these two out. I read the first one in one night—it's incredibly good! The protagonist isn't weak in any way, he's a total bruiser, and he dominates the entire story. Plus, I haven't found a single flaw. The second one is a slow-burn type of book, but it's also very good. You won't find it hard to read just because it's slow-burn; even though it's over two million words long, I finished it all. I highly recommend both of these.
