If you like a smart MC or have a novel you would like to recommend that has a smart MC then post them here.
For my novel, readers can expect a comedy, grimdark, action, strategy-based novel with a complicated plot.
Erik and Ragnar are highly educated.
Does Alise count as smart? She reads alot and lerned magic by herself.
I like to think all my MCs are smart. Even Word the kakapo is smart hence being so curious and he is surprisingly aware. For my others, Dr. Jekyll and Dr. Prometheus are doctors so they're smart by default. Astra is also smart as she is resourceful and well read. Psychoborg is a confirmed tech-genius. Warrick is a baking genius when it comes to savory food.
Well, it's not what the story is about, so it doesn't focus on her intelligence a lot, but the MC of "Damsel in the Red Dress" is very smart. She's an art prodigy who can draw most animals and plants just by seeing a picture of them, and she's also a business woman and was a straight-A student in her school days.
Claudita is smart because angels are smarter than humans any day...
