An action anime/manga/light novel without plot armour? Hmm..... sorry, doesn't exist. But there are some that have it in a more believable manner and are in fact quite brutal and unforgiving.

Terra ForMars - heavily

Mirai Nikki - it counts to some degree

Shingeki no Kyojin originally counted but now its established that the current trainee members in the Survey Corp are pretty much safe from death unless another "Neji" is pulled.

Such things are more of the realm of video games(and their anime counterparts) like said above. Good example being Higurashi where all the cast have died multiple times under various scenarios.
