Chapter 2: Chapter 1 – Plans? The only ones are that which can be used by monkeys.

“Expect nothing. That way, there is a lower chance that you will be disappointed. “ - Stepping Stone Strategist, after 4 years of battling the protagonist and losing practically everything. 

When going against the protagonist, the first thing you must know is that you’re not going to win head-to-head. The way to win is to grind slowly, methodically, but time isn’t on your side.

There were three ways protagonists died before their time. One was those protagonists who died because the author thought it was a fun idea, one was those that have been awake for half a year, disabled, broke 239 bones, blinded thrice, deaf four times, sot through the brain twice, burned, and a couple more. As both methods are wildly outlandish, we will focus on the third, a bit more sensible method : That is slowly grinding the protag to death. 

Everything has a limit except the amount of braincells that the protag will take away during their reign. “Extremely wise Scholar?” Well, he’s no different from this monkey named Monke! Honestly, the small figments of knowledge you get help you immensely. 

If you want to fight head on, It is customary for your plans to have at least 3 layers when dealing with a weaker protagonist, at least 5 when dealing with anything stronger. If we can’t defeat a pure piece of diamond with our own, then the hundred knives of coal will slowly chip away it. It is also suggested, if you are in a cultivation/magic/aura world that everyone in the plan is at least stronger than the protag in levels. 

Why?

Protags, especially those of [ Waste Wood ] and [ Immortal King Reincarnation ], are practically guaranteed to have a skill to beat people weaker than them. They also happen to be invincible within their cultivation/magic/aura stage. Which bluntly means that only people with higher cultivation are vaguely trustable. Vaguely because I’ve seen protags kill enemies 2 full major stages ahead of them. Trusting the world that logic will play out is trusting the world that they will make you lose somehow. 

This concludes the physical head on aspect. What? You think that killing the protag only requires a single aspect? Truthfully, I’m padding out the words, Chinese BS style. Although using a God’s strength to kill a mortal protagonist is frankly possible, their luck bs [ another chapter one day ] would make them survive it, So, we move on, to the mental battle.

Mentally, this is where most protags fall. Despite their “Great Dao Hearts” and “High Mental Fortitude”, they are still mortal. And need sleep. And rest. So, that is where we strike. We don’t need to hit em hard, just make sure that they can’t sleep. The more tired they are, the more likely they will make mistakes even with plot armor. And we are the villains are we not? We can make oh so many mistakes, but only “one” chance for the protag… Unless he is one of those people who use Time Loops in which case we are a lot more in shit than he is.

But, all of this means you would need an army, an organization against the target of the high table, the shining Hero. And while you might not be affected by the IQ cube rooting power of the protag, other people are not necessarily so. They can still be affected by the stupid++ aura of the protagonist that is also known as "Talk No Jutsu". It convinces them to give everything that the protagonist needs to the protagonist. Including the plans. This is why we need groups of people, it's harder to cast Talk No Jutsu and work on all of them that way. So, always have counterstrategies that different people have different roles. This makes it so that even if the protagonist suddenly gains a new brother in arms, your core plan isn't fully exposed.

So, we have established plans, ways to fight against the enemy, to even win against such an overpowering force. 

But, plans are only established with sufficient knowledge of the enemy. And well, knowledge of the enemy is a valuable resource.

Notes 

[ Waste Wood ] - The trope where the protag was a genius, then became a useless waste of space then got ring with old man and became strong. 

[ Immortal King Reincarnation ] - When an extremely powerful being either returns to their own body or some else’s. Assume they are the future self, and have knowledge of the unwritten future. It’s always the best to overestimating your target in this line of protag hunting work.
