    I think you'll love Kumo desu ga, nani ka?(So i'm a spider so what?). A real badass female mc. 

    I have read several other novels with strong fmcs but cant quite remember them all now.

      I read it a long time ago when it first came out! Didn’t enjoy it much unfortunately because the amount of egos made it hard for me to focus at the time.

      @Bunnyman13 Iirc, the spider develops multiple independent thought processes called “egos” at some point, which converse with her throughout the series. It got too overwhelming for me so I stopped reading.

      @Clara_the_fish oh, those. Parallel minds. Well, if its too much for you then it cant be helped. But if you ever re-read it, then i think you'd find that its pretty enjoyable.
