From JP novels? Nope. To say the truth though, materialistic realists are, from my limited experience, (Leylin from Warlock of the Magus World) super boring to read.

I want to see MC that can easily let other people die because they are just random stranger
But the MC himself is not evil

[sasuke706]

^呪術師は勇者になれない's protagonist is pretty much a realist.

He never ends up 'letting other people die because they're strangers' but he tries to at a couple points. It's just protagonist luck kicks in and takes a bad turn.
And at this point he's build up rapport with everyone introduced in the cast so far, so no one's a stranger anymore, not that that stops him from doing what needs to be done.

I am pretty sure those two conditions are mutualy exclusive. Drop "easily" and it could be managable.

^Stop saving every carriage under attack for fuck sake

All MCs always encounter that event lmao

Oh that, I always skip that even if popped up in my search
Well, I skip class transfer in general
Because...
-MC always the bullied position in class
-Class idol girl somewhat interested in MC
-Bully so evil he might as well death row prisoner
-Ikemen is class leader
Did these authors go to the same school?

Carriage = (usually) rich person. Pragmatic hero would jump in to save it, even if he didn't care about human lives in general.

[wuhugm]

^How about letting them all die first so you can loot everything?

[Tenzen12]

Sounds like killing chicken before it laids eggs. Sure that would mean some profit, but honestly jevelry or merchants goods could be raltively easy to track and hard to sell. Plus connections are better then money.

^If the one being saved is your usual despicable fat noble, then u probably wouldn't get anything tho

[Ruki0089]

I remember reading CN (I don't remember the name)
MC saved the princess from assassins or bandits. He just doing out of whim, not really cared when her guards killed.
After saving her, just like Ero Tora said, the carriage cliché happen.
She revealed herself and etc.
She asked him to come with her and help her but MC flatly refused her and walk away. Princess feel humiliated and demand him to follow her order as she IS Princess.
But MC still refuse. The princess give up but later she thinking to kill him after she returned. Too bad for her, MC know about it and kill her.
Yeah, that's about it. I forgot the title but it's really good.

^what a waste, miss a chance for reward, or connection or free ma*ko.

True but might be a bit too ambitious, especially if it is a noble carriage (which it always is), meaning the fancy kind with uniformed guards (or corpses) around. Big bandit groups are not idiotic enough to do that and risk getting an army on their neck for a few jewels that they can't sell and the small local groups (really just opportunistic farmers) don't have the muscle. That means the person inside probably pissed off at least similarly strong opponent and he won't like you for being brave.

So my advice would be: go for it if you are ambitious and want to climb the social ladder. If you don't then you must have forgotten something important in yesterday's camp and REALLY need to return for it RIGHT NOW.

There are plenty of JP novels where princesses get the cold shoulder though...

(Stil assuming MC act in self-interest only) if it's fat bastard noble then it's not like you can't kill and loot stuff on your own, right?

Fair point. Just bear in mind MC usually starts with zero connections and resources.

Also if you are that good said enemy is more likely to try recruit you too then kill you when you mess with their plan first time.

[wuhugm]

^^MC has no combat skill?

That would make the MC evil bro...
I said I want them realist, but not evil

[Tenzen12]

Why? Didn't you say he was despicable bastard?

Either way saving carriage does not a cost lot so even if you don't get benefits you don't suffer loss either. Real realist have no reason to not make such bet.

[wuhugm]

Just because he doesn't want to pay you for saving him
Doesn't mean you can kill him

It's neither crime or sin to not pay someone when you didn't even ask for help in the first place
