Japanese Isekai fantasy genre are filled with many powercreep trope that reflects poor writing but there is a good specimen that I came across 2 months ago. As usual it comes with unnecessarily lengthy name which I will just shorten as Exiled Heavy Knight. This one features powerful main protagonist not being simply using a mary sue trope but owed to Clairvoyance EX skill and thrive in his fantasy adventure by using his wits to create the right opportunity.
Exiled Heavy Knight follows the story of a protagonist who is abandoned by his noble family after obtaining the role of a Heavy Knight in his class selection—a role typically considered a weak tank unit with low DPS and little chance of making progress. However, the main character understands the hidden potential of his class to become the strongest unit. He perseveres in situations where failure is expected and consistently rises to the top, forming a partnership with a Jester who is also an outcast but secretly overpowered.
Exiled Heavy Knight strength lies in its solid RPG mechanics that makes the combat and storyline overall interesting and cut ahead compared to its typical peers and you will feel the struggle of the protagonist profoundly in this one. The protagonist might have skill that overturn overall disadvantage he had to deal with but he constantly have to teeter between life and death with the unfair challenges that he faced and earn his way to come up on top. Despite this manga is unfinished so far, I believe Exiled Heavy Knight could remain as top specimen of Fantasy Isekai genre.
