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

I dislike ret*rds!!!!! Too much emotional mc is also a big no~~~~~~... more>>

Extremely kind mc is also meh... 

Lets be realistic everything is meh in front of benefit oriented mc.... But they are hard to find......

Ranking after first 3 is useless.  <<less

MC rebuilds or create his own Organization or his own Kingdom.

No description.

Don't expect many harems with characters who can't think for themselves or fall in love with the MC before page 1. Many might have a slow moving plot... have to invest yourself into the characters to find the tragic, beautiful and poignant!... more>>

First, some English original webnovels that are superb and easily googleable (in order of best characters, not necessarily plot): 
1. Trailer tr*sh
2. Iron Teeth
3. Castle Kingside (rewrite)
4. Metaworld Chronicles
5. The Good Student
6. Worm (Parahumans)
7. AnimeCon Harem (18+)
8. Mother of Learning
9. Selena's Reign
10. Double Blind: A modern litRPG
11. Tidal Lock (unfinished)

Note that I've been recently pruning and updating the list to remove some that were just good stories with average characters and move them over to new lists that are top of their genre. You can see all my rec lists at https://www.novelupdates.com/user/10378/tallrice/ <<less

Another story is: "Tyranny of Steel" The story progress something like Release That Witch. MC makes Austria become a power house by introducing gun technology... more>> in an era of cold weapon. Some reader says its unacceptable since MC does not have super power like the witches in Release That Witch but the author keep mentioning the MC have an almost photographic memory and he is an engineering soldier who focus on technology knowledge. Warning: MC is grooming his teenage fiancé to be his wife. There are s*x scenes too. (Recommended but with warning: Adult/Mature tag.)  <<less

What I think are pretty good novels to read.

Great Books, various tags/genres... more>>

These are the Novels that I read throughout my journey in this site. Either good or bad, I’ll rate and try to review it to help you find a decent novel. 
Will update as I find new novels... more>>

Scale:
1-2— bad, like seriously (just no)
3-4 below average or average with some bad qualities (probably don’t recommend )
5-6- average ( doesn’t mean they’re bad tho!)

7-8 above average for this site (highly recommend)

9-10 just read it (best novels that I have read on the site, (take it with a pinch of salt)) <<less

Your mileage may vary. <<less

The real good shit, no harems. ... more>>

I tend to prefer rational, antihero type protags so there may be a bit more evil ones in the list. I am also incredibly picky, so I can vouch for the quality of every single novel in this list.

This list is in order. <<less

Well, almost all my reading list.

The best books I have ever stumbled across [in no particular order].
You can comment books you believe are the best you have seen yet (although this is only relative) for others to also read.
The books you should comment should fulfill at least one of these criteria:
— The best of their genre.
— A diamond in the rough.
— So unique that they are a breath of fresh air.
— They are one of the most fascinating read on the internet.... more>>

Unfortunately, this list only includes CN, JP, KR that have been translated. Because of this, it won't include other extremely good webnovels that are written outside the three category (CN,JP,KR).

Some books like that are: Chrysalis, Tyranny of Steel and so on. They are worthy of being on this list but they don't fall under the three categories.

Those added to this list or commented must be truly worthy of being called, Peak Fiction.

(I will continue to add more peak Fiction as I find them over the years.) <<less

This is a collection of novels I have read so far. I have tried to order in sequence from best to worst. By no mean does this list represent true worth of the novels. I have taken care to make the grouping more meaningful.... more>>
