I recommend the light novel "Douluo's Strongest Control" to you. The main character, Fu Hai, awakened a martial soul that had never appeared before on the Douluo Continent. He could control his enemies, teammates, himself, time, and even other things. From then on, he embarked on the path of control and walked further and further. This novel fits your requirements perfectly. The protagonist can control others. I hope you like my recommendation, Mwah ~😗
