“Strong” Female Leads

Am I the only one tired of the term “Strong Female Lead” but she’s never actually that strong? She’s either literally just using her fists instead of her brain or she’s isekai’d or gone back in time and just knows to pick another option. They usually aren’t that strong, just some guys (or girls) like her so they all do her dirty work or she finds some magical beast to make her life easy. I’d like more female lead’s that can analyze and actually lead a room, and by that I don’t mean “oh I said or did something completely minuscule to embarrass an annoying love rival but now everyone is obsessed with me”. Tired of ridiculous power ups and plot cushioning that doesn’t even make sense and just takes away from what should have belonged to some other character.

Obviously I read a lot of the historical isekai stories which might just be my fault but I definitely see this pattern in others as well.

Honestly just please feel free to suggest if you have some (het or yuri) cause these generic, cliche, you’ve read one you’ve read them all stories are destroying me lol
