For shoujo/josei: Capable fmc pls
Also really hate the stereotypical cold ml who is rude to everyone and only nice to her bullshit
For bl: no rape or abuse, would be nice to have an interesting storyline/concept, pls no pathetic/weak willed mcs who bend their backs over for the ml (metaphorically) I wanna see someone with a spine

Not just people slapped with a smart person label that are only academically capable and are otherwise inept with everything else. I want to see practical application of their intelligence. Something like in Liar Game or Chang Ge Xing or Kingdom where the characters use their abilities to navigate their way in situations. At the bare minimum just someone with social intelligence. Any genre I just wanna see smart ppl do smart ppl things
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/shoukoku_no_altair/ the main character is a tactician and his ideas to win battles are genuinely smart, instead of his 'genius' title just being a label.
What I like most about the way this 'genius' character is written is that while he pulls off victories in some really disadvantageous situations, he also loses occasionally. And while he is good at thinking up and carrying out war tactics, there are other characters who are better than him in politics, diplomacy, leading the people etc. So it feels a lot more realistic compared to other 'genius' characters from other mangas
Straightforward/assertive FL that's not dumb or really cringe and embarrassing
ML can be anything but tsundere
Preferably school/college life

I need something to read with a focus on strong female friendships like platonic power couple type beat or anything really
Everytime I see girls that should be besties fighting over some man (usually trash too) and I'm over it (。-`へ´-。)
Maybe these~? I love the friendships here so much:

The fl transmigrates into the body of this evil slave master (?) who trains prisoners of war for the king or something idk. I think it's reverse harem and the first ml (?) is this buff prisoner who kills her immediately after her transmigration but she respawns (?) I think she had brown hair and tanned skin
