Because people at the top level are good

It doesn't attempt to fight for the initiative right from move 1.
I play it partly for that exact reason. It tends to defer the main struggle into the middle game, so it avoids any premature resolution of the tension. At our level, an early confrontation tends to lead to early exchanges, the dissipation of tension, and a sterile middle game. The KIA avoids this tendency.

Learn this much theory:
You do NOT gain the advantage by attacking.
Exactly the opposite... you attack when you have the advantage.
Learn how to maneuver to gain the advantage, and then opportunities to attack will arise.

At this point what you are needing are gambits. Because london is pretty boring because you imput the same moves every time and (Let’s continue with the London) you will have to learn/memorize some stuff. When I had a Levy Rozman course of the London I had to remember e4 which is not normally in your mindset which means you will have to learn some theory before playing the opening.
I recommend the Queen's Gambit, Kings Pawn opening, and perhaps the Reti and the English opening to have a solid repirtoire with white.
These are exactly the types of openings I am trying to stay away from at the moment. I want a true system
Barcza system.
1. Nf3 / 2. g3 / 3. Bg2 / 4. d3 / 5. 0-0 / 6. Nbd2 / then play for the e4 move.

Isn' this just a King's indian attack (the setup you would use against the French, with the e5 pawn defended by the bishop, blocking the center and denying defending black pieces access to the king's side).
Yes, but the Barcza move-order is necessary to turn it into a system. You can't guarantee getting a KIA via 1. e4 because after 1. ... d5 there is no way to reach the KIA.
