He actually Is strong and competent though, the strongest character that's unable to use magic or 'life sword', and despite his retirement aspirations, he was fine killing a bunch of people when they went after him. Except he inadvertently trains the hero, and then some.

Hm, you already have Overlord on your reading list. PS: I don't mind many hated, unpopular traits like: Yuri, yaoi or gender-bender as long as it's not main focus of plot. Shunned or hated or feared protagonist.It can be race, power, intellect, mindset, skill or even eye color. Something that makes protagonist different from everyone.Doesn't have to be on a genius level but at least has to be somewhat intelligent. I'm just tired of these selfless charity protagonists who help everyone. Anti-hero or evil or neutral protagonist.

Protagonist isn't a pussy who is afraid of everything at the beginning or at least stops being a pussy really fast.I prefer fantasy setting, but it doesn't bother me if it's modern or sci-fi.Don't get me wrong it doesn't have to be an op level of strength. Protagonist somehow strong at the beginning.Oh fck it I'll just make a list what I'd like to see and not. Looking for a protagonist who isn't heroic fool helping everyone he/she meets.
