If you want something quite pulpy, I'd recommend Penitent. It's one of the best examples of a Big Good protagonist I've read on the site. Selfless and generous, but not to the point of letting himself be used, with a party of good friends. It's mostly about smaller scale battles, but it changes as it goes on. The atmosphere in the early parts is really good with the banter with his friends. I don't like the latter part as much, but I still read all the chapters as they come out.
Another thing where it kind of stands out, (not that this matters if you don't real RoyalRoad stories) is that the protagonist becomes religious and actually starts proselytizing, and that is something I've not read in any story. A
It's finished on Patreon, and the RR story should wrap up in June according to the author.
On less pulpy note I'd recommend Curse of Chalion or the author's other series Penric and Desdemona. I loved Curse of Chalion, and it's just a regular novel, so it's easy to finish. Penric is more about short stories, but he's also a great protagonist, and I've really enjoyed reading it. They're both good and strive to do the right thing.
