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

Isekais are fun reads when done right, cringey when generic, and horrible when done wrong.... more>>

Sorted from Best to Worst with the ratings being pretty biased.

Honorable Mentions: The Beginning after the End (NOT ON NU) {4.35/5} It's cool, that's all I can really say.

THE LIST NOW HAS A SECOND PART IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/8455/ <<less

>>> Feel free to recommend me novels in the comment section below, so after I'm back I know what to binge read and give my thoughts on it.... more>>

One of the easiest to tell a novel is a 'Game Elements' is if it has a GAME SYSTEM included - most notable of it being part of the MC. Another one is that the Protagonist got transported INTO a Game World/Fantasy World - most notable are ISEKAI's.

HUGE DISCLAIMER: I only include novels that have Game Elements as mentioned BUT ALSO that I have already read from a quite decent amount of chapters to finished reading. Though do not fret for I would accept and feel feel to recommend novels to me and If possible tell me about it.

NOTES: I have tried my best to rank them based on the depth of the world/lore of the novel and it's writing. Every tier (namely Great -> Amazing -> Excellent) have a sub-tier with 1 (+) being the lowest and (+++) being the highest. I would like to say that it is inevitable that there would be a novel being in the same tier and sub-tier - that you would think isn't even on par in terms of quality. Hence why If you could tell why that specific novel about why it deserves to either to go up or down at the ranking - then I would thank you for your time telling me your point. Novels with no tiers can be only one thing - They could have been good.

PS: I seem to have underestimated the sheer amount of Novels with Game Elements... also I'm not expert in identifying Alignments <<less

These stories captured me, and I keep up with them, think about them...laugh, cry, tear my hair out...They make me think I want to put them in my "FOREVER Overthrowing My Heart" list...but there's something missing, maybe? And am I willing to be okay with that? Should I put them in FOREVER Overthrowing my HEART or not...... more>>

But I have a soft spot for them and don't want to say that I don't love them...but...eeehhhh, sometimes it's just eeehhhhh....but I love them...sigh. 

So, here's a list of that. Worthy to be saved in a titled list and remembered. Memories in my photo album that I can look back to and feel my heart soften with nostalgia and longing.  <<less

Novels I have read or am reading, which include skills, level/game system and/or reincarnation, basically isekai, or just some kind of a similar fantasy setting. It also includes my score for them and what I thought about them which might include slight spoilers(sorry), some 'reviews' are shorter either because i didn't have much to say about them or just because I forgot about them, I was reading novels before i made this account and list, so i've forgotten what i liked, disliked and what took place inside them. Mostly Korean and a few Japanese novels, I haven't and don't plan on reading any Chinese novels, i honestly can't understand the cultivation and divinity thing most... more>> of their novels have so i tend to avoid them. The list isn't in any particular order, the ones near the end are the ones i've read most recently. I will update this list and add novels i like and find worth reading everytime i discover one. Though it seems that a hundred novels is the limit on a list so I've moved on to another one with even more novels there.

Hi! Here are some of the KR titles which I have read over the years. Most of the novels here in this list are some of my personal favorites, although some novels here are also just downright dumb. Nonetheless, I hope you'd find my list helpful! Other KR suggestions and recommendations would be highly appreciated!... more>>

To rate all the novels in this list, I utilized my "Personal Subjective Rating Scale". I ranked the novels that I read based on the simple scale below. All novels that I haven't read yet or finished reading would not be ranked unless I dropped them. Do take note that my thoughts on these novels are just subjective and may or may not be agreed upon by everyone. If we have contrasting and/or similar opinions, feel free to share your own thoughts, and let's have a smooth rapport! 

EDIT: Apparently, there's a limit for the description placeholder so I couldn't place my rating scale here. You could see my criteria for rating in the comment section below. Thanks! <<less

I have the list of "no harem harem club" so I thought maybe I should make the harem list to distinguish both of them. As the prior list, I will put all genres (not BL tho) and from all origins. However, I'll put them randomly in their origin list, KR-JP-CN. The mc here ofc is a male.... more>>

Anw, the harem what i mean is one male who become the centers of female attraction. Even though there is no tag harem and his love interest just one girl, when three or more females like/love/want to have him, I will categorize it as harem.  <<less

Only novels I didn't drop or regret finishing, meaning I enjoyed everything here greatly. Expect nice fights or interesting world building, and not very much politics.... more>>

List is ordered by quality.

If you want to read Japanese stuff I highly recommend you begin with anime/manga, like Vagabond and Hunter X Hunter. If you want action it's best if you can actually see it, right? <<less
