Transmigrated As The Crown Prince
Allen wakes up in the body of a fearsome crown prince in another world. He is considered extremely strong and naturally has countless enemies who want him dead. But soon he realizes three things: First that due to a previous injury, he cannot use his powers properly. Second that his transmigration in this world was not a coincidence, it was pre planned and that he is nothing more than a pawn in the mastermind's gran plan to gain power. Third that even though his family rules the entire continent, the outside world is much more vast and he is just a small fish in the big ocean. He must identify and outsmart those hiding in the shadows, uncover secrets about his own past life that he didn't know about, navigate through dangerous politcs against fellow schemers, explore and conquer this cruel and mysterious world, maintain sanity and deal with internal conflict because of some morally gray choices he needed to make for his survival, while also recovering the original body’s strength.

A few points:
The first major arc has been finished (ch 28) and has a pretty satisfactory climax imo.
The MC is not naive, he is intelligent, manipulative and ruthless, but not actually evil.
This isn't all about power flex; there are multiple intelligent characters, and the MC is forced to use his brain in various situations.
Side characters are not there just for the sake of it; most side characters are complex and get proper development before the major arc ends (ch 28).
The villain has a proper backstory and goal, and isn't just there to be a stepping stone for the MC.
I have added quite some lore drops and emotional scenes after chapter 10.
The intro and first 5 chapters may feel a bit generic, but it gets better and better from the 6th chapter.
One warning though, this is a dark and cruel world, and there are a lot of violent and terrifying scenes and body horror in this novel.
Initial writing may be a bit weak, but I've fixed most of the previous issues in the current chapters
The second major arc (Ch 29 onwards) is especially for those who don't want the MC to start at the top and dominate every fight with pure strength. As in that arc the MC leaves his home continent and starts from nothing (no resources, loyal people, identity, nothing). He conquers the other continent using his brain, through layered schemes and manipulation. But it still has fights and aura moments as the MC hates getting looked down upon.
This is not AI slop, the whole story and dialogues have been written by me
The MC is OP, but he also struggles in some fights (I haven't given him any plot armor, and the fights feel logical), and also gets outsmarted by others sometimes, there are more intelligent characters than him.
The MC is not one of those who will spare his enemies whatsoever.
