This is a list containing SOME of the accessible works that StandardDelicious has recommended which I have added to my reading list.
Accessible means that it isn't limited to any private group, so we can all read it in English or at least have it translated to English using AI.
This post will not contain the inaccessible works which are strictly contained within private groups, and thus cannot be accessed (hence why it's called inaccessible).
Also, he uses mainly methodology/logical scaling from what I've seen. So many of these characters will have highly complex feats that make your brain strain just from trying to understand the schemes.
From dumbest to smartest:
Baku [Usogui - Manga]
Vetinari [Discworld]
Feng Bujue [Thriller Paradise] [惊悚乐园]
Gu Qing Shan [Worlds' Apocalypse Online] [诸界末日在线]
Wang Lu [Spirit Blade Mountain] [从前有座灵剑山]
Kellhus [Prince of Nothing]
Fang Yuan [Reverend Insanity] [蛊真人]
Li Gang [Vile Dominion - RoyalRoad]
Qi Xia [Ten Day Ultimatum - WTRLab (End of Ten Days)] [十日终焉]
Guo Jia [Ravages of Time - Manhua] [火凤燎原]
Li Qing [The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation - FanMTL] [恐怖修仙路]
The Founder [Kingdom's Bloodline] [王国血脉]
Lynch [Blackstone Code - RavenArchives] [黑石密码]
Kang Jinhyuk [나 혼자 만렙 뉴비]
Chen Ran [Eighteen Levels of Hell: Lying is Forbidden Here - WTRLab] [地狱十八层：这里禁止说谎]
Ang Xiao [Surviving as a Talent in the Primordial Saint Sect - ScribbleHub] [苟在初圣魔门当人材] [Warning: Ang Xiao is an antagonist that appears after around 200 chapters later in the novel.]
Additional Novels mentioned by StandardDelicious, Jarionn, etc., which are unranked in comparison to the above list. ALL of these are Accessible:
天才俱乐部 (Genius Club)
修真四万年 (Forty Millenniums of Cultivation)
我师兄实在太稳健了 (My Senior Brother is Too Steady)
随波逐流之一代军师 (The Grandmaster Strategist)
修罗场玩家 (Underworld Player)
末世：我的关键词比别人多一个 (Apocalypse: My Keyword is One More Than Others)
名侦探修炼手册 (Detective Training Manual)
阴影帝国 (Empire of Shadows)
我的模拟长生路 (My Longevity Simulation)
.
These are only SOME of the works he mentioned on his profile and mainly the Chinese works. There are far more English-original works that he mentioned which are not in this list.
ALL of these works are accessible. Meaning YOU (yes you) can access them.
You might be wondering, how about the inaccessible works? (people who rank above Ang Xiao)
They're inaccessible for a reason. You can choose to believe him or you can choose not to, that's up to you. There's no point in arguing over it. In the meantime, you've at least got this long list of accessible works that you CAN read. 👍
