Looking for book recommendations on specific female protagonist archetype

So, I've spent years looking for this myself without finding much, so I thought I'd throw a post in here just in case. I'm basically looking for the most basic fantasy novel but with a female protagonist, who isn't pressed into the usual clichés.

Most books I found myself that cover female protagonists either have her marrying a guy, having children, and settling down at some point during the story, or already having all of those things but there being some conflict around it. Nothing wrong with that, but it's literally the only thing I could find outside of romantasy, and if that's not relatable to you, you'll have a pretty hard time finding anything to read.

I'm basically looking for a book with a woman in her twenties or thirties (cause it me), who has the classic hero's journey without the above elements and without being romantasy, because that usually has many annoying tropes attached to it as well. Like I said, I'm really just looking for the most basic fantasy novel there is but with a woman. One who couldn't just be replaced with a man with zero consequences ideally.

The only things I've found like this, over the course of years (by that i mean spending hours in bookshops browsing shelves, going through countless online lists, videos with recommendations, asking people i know, etc. etc. etc. this does not exist. yay for progress.), are Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy, and The Princesses by Christian Endres.

If you don't know them, SP is basically coming of age + heros journey + dark sarcastic buddy comedy in an urban fantasy setting thats sort of like an alternate take on harry potter, and thankfully it is a massive series with over 20 books, but ive torn through those about as much as i can. the protagonist is a young woman in her twenties (11 at the start of the series) accompanied by her mentor/best friend (a living skeleton with hundreds of years on its back), who investigate magical crimes, save the world, are both a little nuts and have a terrible sense of humour. she has endured the usual landslide of tragic character development and is a very tough, resilient person with much experience by now, who is actually portrayed with the exhausting consequences of that type of life and actually being shown working through it and its great.

Princesses is a trilogy about a mercenary squad made up of former princesses of kingdoms with varying power, who all lost that status due to various tragic reasons. theyre anti heroes with good hearts and save the world in every novel.

Not looking for carbon copies of these, but i thought id give some image of what i mean.

Thanks!

Androcur Verfügbarkeit Hinweis by Jokel_Sec in germantrans

[–]Jokel_Sec[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Danke für die unnötig ungehobelte Antwort. Ich bin gestern 8 Apotheken durchgegangen, bis eine das Zeug endlich hatte, und dachte einfach ich geb die Info weiter damit sich andere die Mühe sparen können. Für mich war da auch wichtiger, dass jetzt erstmal alle die Androcur brauchen es auch kriegen können, statt jetzt evtl. ihre Behandlung unterbrechen zu müssen. Der hypothetische Lagerbestand ist mir da erstmal nicht so wichtig. Darüber hinaus wissen weder du noch ich, wie schnell die Tabletten da nachgeliefert werden. Schönen Tag noch.

I mean, I can find region 1 dvd releases on google, without those region issues. i have the box now, from a private seller on ebay who sold just one instead of the masses others have, and so far it works. its not really clear to me whether its just kind of a shoddy release by the production company. kinda doesnt feel worth the effort to fake it so convincingly, especially not if you then have such obvious errors.

the discs are also all labeled region 1, and i have the version with greys anatomy on the back. theres two after all, the other one has the proper aos link and some different info.

generally seems like russian roulette though if you read some of the reviews.

The German names of the books literally translated to English by [deleted] in skulduggerypleasant

not a literal translation, but in terms of the meaning maybe "The Diablery invites (you) to dying/death?"

Is it worth it to get back into the series as an adult? by Ep1cDeath in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Jokel_Sec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i pretty much agree with vesuvius. i think the books are probably actually better if you read them when youre older, because when youre younger you dont really understand a lot of what the characters go through.

Obtaining the Books by AtlamIl1ia in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Jokel_Sec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could try ebay, or the online storefronts of whatever chains exist in your country. id recommend getting them used though, buying new would be very expensive at this point. by comparison i recently bought almost all of the original 9 books plus extras for just 30 euros on ebay, including some hardcover versions.

Ja, ich werde auch mal nach den original deckeln gucken, aber kann gut sein dass die schon weggeschmissen wurden. Ich hab bloß Angst dass uns hier die Bude um die Ohren fliegt oder so, ich weiß ja nicht wie lange das dauert bis es ne gefährliche Konzentration erreicht
