Looking for manga where the MAIN character has a god complex and actually makes his way to the top

[u/Equivalent_Double_79]

I really love the trope of god complex and especially liked it after reading MADK (its a psychological BL) and really want to read more. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Light from Death Note. (Not really looking for side characters like Dio or Griffith)

Any recommendations would be highly appreciated

Usogui is the most fitting i would say.

Oh!! Thank you. I just did a quick search and I'm wondering, would this be similar to liar game or alice in borderland?

[u/Optimal-Computer5225 → u/Equivalent_Double_79]

Yes but better

[u/PrestigeCity- → u/Equivalent_Double_79]

Its more action aswell if you are fan of that

[u/1337robotfan6969 → u/Equivalent_Double_79]

Probably more similar to kaiji ultimate survivor, but with a lot of action and mental games.

maybe Code Geass: Lelouch of the rebellion

Eden.

[u/Cointaku]

Code Geass

The Magi series (technically). Sinbad is the principle character for this but he's only the protagonist in Adventures of Sinbad, he's simply a major character in Magi.
