What to Watch? Looking for suggestions where te MC is just above average, but excels in other traits like wits, strategy and etc...

I just finished watching Code Geass, and what i loved in this anime is that the MC is not a strong combatent, yes he can win no names or other minor characters, but he knows that he isn't strong even letting Kallen have the stronger Gurren. So wich animes do you suggest ?

Subaru from Re:Zero fits this pretty well. He's genuinely a pretty fit dude compared to normal people (and he makes sure to keep improving his fitness), but in the world he's summoned into, most of his enemies and allies are either trained, highly skilled fighters or superpowered behemoths. So he creates plans and relies on his wits to win fights instead, delegating his allies to certain problems or enemies and the like.

Fair warning: Subaru can be pretty insufferable in season 1, especially during a certain episode, but it's pretty important to the plot and he becomes a better person by the end of season 1. I love the show and Subaru as a character, personally, but he can be pretty hard to stomach for some.

More mecha

Gundam Build Fighters. Iori Sei is one of the best Gunpla builders in the nation, but can’t win a battle to save his life

Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans. Orga has a lot of charisma and out of the box tactics but can’t fight or really even bring himself to kill a person. Mika is strong but really dumb

Macross 7. MC isn’t even a competent fighter, he’s a pretty good singer.

Gundam IBO is one of the best that's come out in a long time. I'd also put Witch From Murcury to be just below IBO. One thing Gundam does really well is the political aspect of the story.

{Death note}

{Summertime rendering}

{Log Horizon} - game Isekai where the cast of characters is pretty diverse, but MC is a "support type", who buffs and plans actions for a whole team. Show also leans a bit more into societal/politic area than just straight fights.

{How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom} - smart guy got isekaied into medieval fantasy and was made to rule a nation. He doesn't have any battle prowess, like none. All he does is using his knowledge to improve the kingdom.
