Fantasy or LitRPG novels with really muscular female lead.
I am really sorry, that my first post is a request, but on my common communities I had no luck with my search. So I am trying other forums and hope that someone will be able to help me with my slightly crazy request
I am looking for a novel in fantasy setting with really muscular female lead. She may be a main character, or love interest/friend/companion of main character, but not just minor character.
By muscular I mean not slightly fit, but with really big muscles, like female bodybuilders have. And it's really important that her muscularity shouldn't be shown in negative way only. She should be still beautiful girl with enough feminine traits to make normal men fall in love with her. Just physically strong and more muscular that some (or most) of these men. And with IQ even slightly surpassing an IQ of a stone
If it will be LitRPG, then it would be perfect if her physical strength and muscularity will bound with her stats or skill level.
I know that I cannot be picky here, but I just hope for something readible.
Thank you in advance for any suggestion!

Hi! Thank you for response.garuthesnail001 wrote: ↑08 Feb 2018, 00:40 Hello there friend, this is only a suggestion. The story i am going to share is a Chinese lightnovel, some of the grammar are not good. But the story and character development is good. The settings is in the world of cultivation and martial arts. If you want it please comment back i have a huge list.
I have red few Chinese and other Asian martial arts novels, but I have never met there any muscular female lead characters. The main problem is Asian culture: they do not think that very muscular body is beautiful, especially on female.
But if have an example of such novel, it would be great. Thank you!

Ps: The first book really doesn't show off the character of some of the women but the rest of the books would be a little hard to catch onto without it.
Also typed this on my phone so I apologise for misspelled words.

But there is no lack of strong women (even physically strong) in literature. But all of them have only standard feminine look.
I know that my interest is very niche one and there is very small hope to find it among non-fetish stories and novels (that are mostly awful).

Thank you for the try But as I told before, there is no lack of strong women in literature, but there is a lack of women with body and musculature to fit.Wordforawhile wrote: ↑16 Feb 2018, 16:03 There is a series that takes place in the world of a tabletop game (think D&D). The first book is called NPCs by Drew Hayes. One of the main character's is a female Barbarian. She is not described as being particularly buff but she is there damage dealer and wields axes. Hope this helps (it's a great series!)
Even such powerful character as Red Sonja is described as just fit and beautiful woman. And she has some visible muscles in promo and fan art only.

Also, if YA is okay, Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce is one of my favorites.

What does YA mean?glitterrain wrote: ↑23 Feb 2018, 17:40 Also, if YA is okay, Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce is one of my favorites.
And could you please give a bit more info about this novel? Because it's not clear from description if it fits.

YA = Young Adult. The protagonist in Protector of the Small is a teenager, but tall and strong for her age, and part of her struggle is learning to use her body effectively. At one point she's mocked as having "arms like a blacksmith's," which she works hard to get.Wissen wrote: ↑25 Feb 2018, 16:30What does YA mean?glitterrain wrote: ↑23 Feb 2018, 17:40 Also, if YA is okay, Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce is one of my favorites.
