Looking for mystery, thriller and horror books

Hi everyone! This is my first post here. I'vd been wanting to read more thriller, horror and/or mystery books, but i haven't found one that makes me want to read them, most ones I've found online fall into tropes I really dislike or are so predictable you can guess the ending by page 15, that or characters were on holiday when brains were being given out

—-

**THINGS I WANT**

– Smart main characters (this is non-negotiable): I want main characters who make reasonable decisions (if plots require stupidity to progress, chances are they ain't good unless stupidity is related to some plot twist)

– Unpredictable plot twists that make sense: I like to investigate as I read and try to outsmart characters, and most books I've read tell you who's the killer or the villain on page 1 using the most obvious tropes ever (such as the "innocent best friend" or the "quiet kid or víctim of mistreatment"). However, I despise twists that are there just because the author wanted to pretend their story was a masterpiece (Just an example: once I read a book about a girl who gets the killer's diary and gets stuck in the case, plot twist was that the killer's brother had all the proof to turn the killer in to FBI and instead gave the diary to some random girl (the MC) he liked on the library just because she was reading mystery books, half the cast dies because of that and dude wasn't even a villain, he wanted to catch the killer)

– Neither LOTR long nor one-shot short (unless they're genuinely worth it)

– No obvious lessons: What I mean is, I hate "X evil, Y good" type of morals, I like ambiguous things (if that's part of what keeps the story going

– MC who kicks ass and fights back (if female MC): I'm specifying genders because male MCs typically fight back, not so common in female MCs. I hate the shy/defenseless/too emotional/etc trope for female main characters

– Well-written villains and side characters who contribute to the plot: I'm tired of the good ol' "he's misunderstood and he suffered in his childhood, so he's an ass who kills/kidnaps/whatever people", etc, if they're written in a plain, predictable way. You can make good characters using tropes, but please make it good.

– I can accept manga/comics too, not just regular books

– For horror stories, villain has to be an actual threat, not just some "I run like Usain Bolt, villain is slower than a snail, yet villain catches me". Horror is supposed to be scary, not ragebait (I can't stand many horror stories since I end up screaming at the characters due to mistakes they make). I can ignore this if whatever book you recommend is a parody, satire or something along those lines, though. With horror, it can be as extreme as you want

– I like psychological horror (not needeed for recs)

– Little hints all through the book: Things like a character suddenly saying something they shouldn't (for example) that hint towards plot twists or who the villain is without directly spoiling the story on chapter 2 (twists without hints, unless done well, are just plot armor kicking in)

**THINGS I DON'T WANT**

– Spice: Nowadays most books I see contain spicy scenes which ain't relevant to the plot, and it's always the same sequence. Can we have a book without those spicy scenes (unles they're relevant to the plot, like a character using seduction to fulfill goals, for example)?

– Romance-driven stories: Not everything needs romantic scenes nor romantic relationships. If they're relevant to the plot but not for a "this is an average thriller/horror story but we make it a romantic novel just because" then they're welcome, but we can make good stories without someone falling in love

– Dark romance: Unless it's psychological horror correctly written to be horror and not romance (unless characters genuinely grow), I don't want to read about some "morally grey" couple which is just one abusing the other

– Too stupid characters: Already explained in "Things I want", but I don't want to scream at the book for stupid decisions. If Imma scream to books it gotta be due to me seeing plot twists before characters or due to genuine worry

– Way too much description without action or dialogue: I don't mean that books should barely contain descriptions, but you don't need 5 pages on both sides to know how a chair looks like. Description can he key for the plot without overdoing it. I want balance between action, description and dialogue

– Choices without consequences: If Character A hides Very Important Item from Character B and Character B ends up in a life-or-death situation (or a guaranteed death situation) due to not having the item I better not see anyone saving Character B (unless it's a life-or-death situation with realistic chances of survival) nor repeating the same pattern in other scenarios. If you write everything so a character is screwed and something happens every time they're about to face consequences, then what was the point of writing that scene?

– MISCOMMUNICATION done wrong: I loathe this more than badly represented dark romance, it never fails to ragebait me, NEVER. What do you mean the whole story could be solved and with the best outcome if two characters who are able to make logical decisions discuss the issue and solve it? Unbelievable, why don't we overuse the "I wanted to protect her (it almost always happens to female characters)" trope or make them fight so they screw up the story and have them make up after, guess what, COMMUNICATION? I like miscomunnication in shows like Apothecary Diaries, but not in thriller/horror/mystery books unless there's a logical reason

EDIT: I've read mostly interactive novels which names I don't remember, I'm not much of an avid reader, so I can't give you examples of books in those genres that I liked
