The Walking Drum by Louis L'Amour.
The protagonist, Mathurin Kerbouchard is as hard as a man can be, fleeing his home of Brittany, becoming a galley slave and escaping. Then studying and fighting his way from Spain to Constantinople in search of his father captured by the Ottomans. Redpilled as well, capturing the hearts of numerous prominent women along the way but remaining true to his mission of finding his father. L'Amour understood how men and women should interact, and it shows in the characters.
One quote that from the book has stayed with me: "Many things are not done simply because they are not attempted"
