Strong FL automatically means reincarnation/ travel to another world 95% of the time. But, sadly (or not!) I'm not fond of reincarnation/ travel to another world stuff.

I want non-Isekai manhaw/manhua/manga recs where the FL is strong and smart and can take care of her own. I've read some stuff like this already.

Take a look at my manga list in anime-planet: https://www.anime-planet.com/users/azratun002/manga/read (it's filled with bl, yes I know...it was just a phase ;3)

Or you can also take a look at my custom list on non-Isekai strong FL stuff: https://www.anime-planet.com/users/azratun002/lists/non-isekai-strong-female-lead-manhawmanh-803052

Thanks >///<

I've only seen the animated and live-action adaptations of Uehashi Nahoko's series of Moribito novels, and read a bit of one series. The protagonist is a thirty-year-old spear-wielding female bodyguard named Balsa. Here's a trailer for the live-action adaptation of Seirei no Moribito, the first of the stories.

I forgot to mention above that I have a thing for historical stuff where we get to see women using weapons. And what you suggested is just what I like! So thanks, I'll definitely check it out

Lilia, the female main character, is connected to the 'real' MC by a foster parent relation though they often fight together, she's not to be underestimated.

You know I used to think time travel was also under isekai genre, I mean they die and go back in time! But I just found out that they're not the same thing ;3

Thanks for the recs btw

It usually means shoujo, in my experience.

I like historical stuff so the ones I read with strong/smart FLs, most of them were smart enough to deal with adversities only because they either entered a novel and knew the plot, or because they were Isekaied and knew the future. I've read a few non-historical stuff like that too. That's why I came to the conclusion ;3

And I don't usually read shoujo stuff so I don't know about that

And lastly, thanks for the recs

That's good. The Rose of Versailles depicts events leading up to the French Revolution, and Candy Candy is set in the early 20th century.
