it has the same style where the main character is never really inept, and most of the time goes about in a smart/productive way, rather than fumbling about

The character needs to be inept for the reader to sympathise and/or understand the world about them.
So only fanfics or sequels or prequels have the main character as the smartest guy in the room.
yeah but at the same time it infuriates me when the main character misses something obvious, and doesnt have a reason for it
thats also why i hate a lot of youtubers for certain kinds of games

More seriously
There are ways to fail at achieving your goals that don’t rely on your protagonist missing the blatantly obvious solutions to their problems that I can come up with just by thinking about it for five seconds
