Common POints-MC with : [ Or ] < System > < Unique Power > < Cold and Calm Character > < Rebirth > < Apocalypse > < Comedy > < Fan-fiction > < Solo > < Cheat > < Killer >.... more>>

I like novels in which upper mentioned things are there (anyone). But, MC should not share his powers with others and form an Adventure Party or so. Reality doesn't work like that.

I don't want MC to share his unique cheat or system power with others.

[ Just think if everyone can become iron man, then MC is no longer unique but instead too common. And in a fantasy world if you are not unique then do you think one day you can become strongest or God or something. Then no. Giving my system to others. WTF? Why not become a side character instead and help MC to become strong ( like a stepping stone ).]

MC who are high over heels behind girls, I don't like.

If MC is not unique, then alright. But, he should at least have a strong mentality or great ambition. Not like I want to live a happy life but instead, I want to become strongest, WHY? Go ask Goku why? No need to have a reason for this, right.

It's like why you want to be rich?

I don't like MC who is too kind and childish and author show it as it is best and noble and good.

I had read lots of BL eSports novels (selling meng; sometimes blowing countless pink bubbles, throwing 999 flowers, drew pink sweet heart, and lit fireworks) that lead me to try playing online game (RPG) for the first time.

How would you bring technology into a fantasy world? Make sense of the magics? Feed people and get rid of the corrupt nobles? This is specifically on developing a city or territory, not:
- Developing a dungeon/core (see my other list: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10742/)... more>>

First, a few worthy mentions that aren't on NU:
1. Castle Kingside (rewrite) - a lot of inspiration from Release that Witch, imo improved! Warning: it's slow. Kingdom only begins around c60ish.
2. The iron teeth - although territory development comes late in the story, it's well done and exotic, being based on a goblin kingdom
3. 1632 (published book) - an American village goes back to the 30 years war. It's much less fantastical, but has a lot of similar elements to other kingdom building novels.
4. The Eagle's Flight - highly intricate fantasy webnovel
5. Defiance of the fall
6. Randidly Ghosthound - neither Randidly nor Defiance of the Fall focus on kingdom building, but they both have elements related to setting up a post-apocalypse system city - complete the quest to get the village crystal/coin!
7. The Expansion (Legend of the Arch Magus) - [have not yet read] - recommendation from Hitexh in the comments
8. Enlightened Empire - weaker than the others <<less
