Looking for comeuppance heavy series (self.books)

Loved the Embers of Illeniel series and I'm really digging where Phil Tucker's Immortal Great Souls series is going, and I'm looking for more. I like the progression elements of a weak/underpowered MC growing into a powerhouse over the course of the story, and I REALLY like said powerhouse using that strength to pay back everyone who deserves it. Looking for longer form stuff, and trolling through royal road and scribblehub just isn't scratching that itch.

Sci fi is great. Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds is one of my all time favorites and has quite a bit of tasty comeuppance.

Thanks, that looks interesting, added to my TBR.

Also, just remembered The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester as another candidate for your request. This is also sci-fi.
