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

these novels aren't ranked. all are good and i recommend all of these for you guys to read. there's no (or some may have a little) romance here,  but no harem. ... more>>

♡ contains action, adventure, fantasy, horror, mystery, cultivation, supernatural, slice of life, world hopping etc...
♡ cn, kr, jp <<less

Surrounded by loyal protective companions? Good stuff. Platonic harem and bonds? Heck yeah. MC smartly planning ahead and sometimes humorously misunderstood?  Dig it. Bromance? YES!... more>>

This is my jam~ ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧

I like stories where the MC is loved and cherished by his people (but not romantically, not into harem).Though I still ship MC with other characters sometimes (〃'▽'〃). 

Some are more of a slice-of-life, with little actions, but more focusing on the deep bonds of the main characters.  I only put series that I've actually read, with my little comments on it, I'm definitely up to recommendations for similar trope.  

Top best three asides, the rest are in no particular order. Enjoy! <<less

- I avoided harem, ecchi. If its has good story, I'll reconsider.... more>>

- I eat anything no romance, straight, BL, GL. As long as it is good story why not? I ship anyone as long it is cute!

- The MC is I think funny, decent, or good. The side character is not too flat. I avoided pe*vert protag, aiming for harem is a big no, especially slaving someone for pe*vert desire is a no go.

- Story is good, I prefer slow paced, or while MC is gone world still continuing not revolving MC.

- I prefer slow paced romance or romance as sub-plot, or no romance at all, If its twisted but interesting I will add it. If its healthy relationship I will add it too. Yandere or Possesive character is good if its been used well?

- I will give short description each novel (beware of spoiler), and what I think about it.

*Contain broken english explanation

*Not in order, I like everything, so everything is 'number 1' /laughs

*Note: I might dropped in the middle / stalling the novel, but I put it in here because I like the premise after all, please read the review to know which I dropped and why. I will put dropped tag + make in lower.

*Note: I dislike when it is all serious and tense suddenly romance pop up. I wont dislike if the novel stated it, or the entry is natural, but forced suddenly out of nowhere I dislike it. It is like a pinapple pizza, when you are expecting pizza but suddenly there is a pinapple on it. You like pinapple, but not at your pizza. <<less

All stuff I've read till the end and ranked by personal preference. The ones at the front are more accurate, the ones at the end are unsorted. ... more>>

My preference: Meandering slow-burn novels like Mao Ni's stuff get extra points. Harem/romance/face-slapping power fantasies get minus points. Completed novels get bonus points, and terrible endings get points knocked off. Also plus points for character building friends/family/enemies and down points for solo yolo.
