I'm new to writing descriptions for book lists, but I've read at least a little of every book here. The list includes alternate-history, wuxia, fantasy, xianxia, anime-inspired, and urban novels. There's bound to be something you'll like. I'll keep updating it.
A Collection of Invincible Protagonist Stories and Historical Fiction I Personally Enjoy, With Actual Brainpower
Invincible-protagonist novels I personally found readable

I Have a Soft Spot for Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Post-Apocalyptic, and Urban Fiction 😍😍😍
My tastes are pretty varied, and I'm not particularly devoted to any one kind of novel. I don't usually recommend legendary masterpieces or hugely popular books, since you can find those everywhere with a quick search! PS 1: I don't read stories where the protagonist is constantly tormented. Life's hard enough already; I don't want to read about the protagonist suffering too. PS 2: Follow me for occasional updates with new finds and promising reads. Please share some good recommendations with me

Modern Military Power Fantasies with System and Farming Elements
I cannot get into stories set in the Qing dynasty or Republican era where the enemy is strong, we are weak, and everyone is still scheming against each other. It is much more satisfying when a golden finger sweeps away every obstacle!

I regretted watching it; it was a waste of money. It started off as a story of self-proclaimed kingship, but then it all fell apart. He actually became Chongzhen's lackey, effortlessly destroying the Qing dynasty and reforming its corrupt practices, before finally disappearing without a trace…
It feels like the author didn't think about how to make good use of his cheat ability at all in the beginning, and the protagonist is really a bit dim-witted and impulsive. By the end, he's just a tool for the Zhu family. "I'll conquer the world, you take the throne, and I'll leave without a trace..." That's really awesome.
I dropped this book after reading a few chapters. It's addictive! The protagonist's intelligence is appalling; he's always muttering to himself. He even carries a bag of gold to a shop to sell! Someone like that would have been investigated long ago. It's already the fifth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, and he's still in Shanxi! What kind of farming is that?
Feudal dynasties ruled by one family or surname. If I could travel back and forth in time, let alone the incompetent and immoral last emperor, even the wise and powerful Qin Shi Huang, Liu Che, Li Shimin, and Zhu Yuanzhang, I would defeat them all. The protagonist is actually acting as a sycophant to Emperor Chongzhen. I glanced at the chapters, thankfully I haven't seen it yet.
Was it popular to be someone's dog back then?
I didn't finish reading it, but after seeing the table of contents, I didn't want to continue. The Ming Dynasty court was rotten to the core, refusing to reform and instead acting as its henchmen. Once the protagonist dies, China will suffer another round of humiliation.
I do not recommend reading this book; it's too addictive. As a dual-transmigration protagonist, he should be invincible, but he constantly kneels before others and even castrates himself to remove his cheat abilities, artificially creating difficulty. He can travel freely in ancient times but not in modern times. He could clearly be a king, yet he wants to be a lackey of the ancients.
1000 Men against 200. And they even lost 100. You've mythologized the Jurchens. They had modern-level armor and firearms. In that situation, a few volleys of fire would have been enough to annihilate them.
Intelligence determines everything
The logic is a complete mess. If this were real, the protagonist would be utterly doomed in modern times. First of all, let's not even talk about ancient times. You could travel back and forth, but it would be to a fixed location. You'd be taken away long ago in the present. 6000 Tons of salt right off the bat? Do you even know what that means? Who would dare sell it to you? And with a forklift?
I couldn't continue reading after chapter 100. The original setting had a chance of the jade pendant, a cheat ability, breaking, so they wanted to change it so that acquiring material resources wouldn't be the priority. Instead, they wanted to prioritize acquiring information about modern industry. But the protagonist's logic is just ridiculous. I'm dropping this story.
