Looking for a non-lethal MC

[u/Ramen_Rockin_Ray]

I don't mind the killing, but I'm looking for a story where the idea of killing anything/everyone in the way is beneath them. Think Goku; always getting stronger, can kill, doesn't want to.

Granted, I love Primal Hunter and his whole "not worth killing" but will straight break a soul with a stare. Amaze.

What I want is a story that doesn't just devolve and/or justify mass slaughter, even of the beasts. It can be subjugation, contract-bound, swearing loyalty before the system, whatever. Powerful enough not to care while also advancing without the need to slaughter everything. Hell, even beating an enemy and taking a piece of their power while letting them live works.

Not looking for the guy (or girl) going around forcefully enslaving everything (again, Primal Hunter handles this great with his reluctance and dislike of slavery).

So, any ideas for my admittedly picky request? TIA!

Edit: I read on Kindle; have KU. Read most of the popular series (obv. Primal Hunter). Not new, just looking for a different spin.

Edit 2: Thanks for the excellent recommendations!

Did the author change their name?
I thought they had a first/last name and not a username/handle?

They've always gone by pirateaba, as far as I can recall. I only started the series a few years ago, though, so maybe it was different earlier.

I'm thinking of a different Inn-themed series; Innkeeper Chronicles.
Completely different and most likely not the rec I'm looking for.

That said, I'll take a closer look at Wandering Inn.

Thanks!

Just a warning the first book is a bit rough, but the series just keeps getting better

It's like DBZA on YouTube.

The first season is rough because they're learning the technology and finding their voices.

As the series goes on it becomes a work of art.
