All of the fantasy/action books I've read or have been recommended books had protagonists that were the chosen one, had some special powers or they would be half human half magical creature and that's what would make them different or "worthy of being a protagonist"
An example of a protagonist i would want was form something I remember reading a while ago. I've read something where the protagonist's brother( not related by blood) got kidnapped by fae and in order to save him had to go through these trails form different fea courts. The main protagonist didn't gain any powers or was even skilled in fighting, he used perblem sloving, clever tricks, solving riddles and a little bit of emotional mapulation, to get trough the trails and save his brother. He was aslo a curious character asking questions even if he got in trouble with beings more powerful than him and was obsessed with knowing things. Despite this he shows empathy to people in need and even to some fea and is a very likeable character.
A list of what I would generally want.
-fantasy/adventure/action
-a protagonist how would be considered weaker in the world either doesn't have any powers or is only a human in a magical world.
-is often underestimated and uses that to their advantage.
-solves their perblems using clever tricks.
It would be greatly appreciated I'd anyone could reccomend a book like that please and thank you.
I don't want the protagonist's sole purpose to be a self insret btw just beasue they're "normal" I think it would be satisfying to read the heroine having a different way of fighting they're opponents with clever tricks and smart plans.
