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

This list is specifically for second chances/age regression in fantasy, historical or VRMMO settings. 
- Not transmigration stories (see: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16246/)
- Not time loop stories (see: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10681/)
- Not second chances in modern society (see:  https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10745/)... more>>

I'll start with a big recommendation for:
1. Metaworld chronicles - wonderful series with well developed characters, magic, monsters and dragons, all set to a really well explored alternate modern Earth fuelled by magi-tech. It's the best in the genre and you should try it out!
2. Selena's Reign - only around 20 chapters out so far, but they're really well done. Beautiful descriptions (though sometimes a bit verbose) and the best depictions of a late 18th century setting that I've seen in an online fantasy. Read this for the magical second chance messiah in a gritty, Louis XIV->Napoleon type time frame world.
3. The Calamity of a Reborn Witch - more of a shoujo take on things, it's filled with political plots and conspiracies of a cinderella type heroine in a rather dark fantasy world
4. Forgotten Conqueror (this was on hiatus for a long time but restarted on the author's site) <<less

Pinnacle of high quality reading (at least for me?)! Really enjoyable novels with generally intricate plots, ones you would be an idiot for missing out on. These are not in order at all, I don't like most of what I read and it's a hassle to look for the sweet stuff, so to help others out I've just decided to put whatever I find enjoyable / binge-worthy on the list.... more>>

Part I: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/28818... more>>

Part 2 of my endless search for halfway decent KR novels. This list is filled with random novels that won't finish translating until my future mortgage is paid off. <<less

All of the descriptions are allegedly, I haven't read most of them. Mainly focused on completed novels. Only male protagonist. I hate anti-hero or Villain protagonist novels that have no morals so none of them will be in this list! If you have any other recommendations please comment them!... more>>

Novels from other websites:

Worm - Interesting dark fantasy superpower.

One Piece: Reborn as Enel - Hype transmigrates as a character with an amazing devil fruit in One Piece.

The Runesmith - Man with technological knowledge isekais into a fantasy world as the 4th son of a noble family. Cool sounding western written isekai

World Keeper - Isekais as the manager of a world, kingdom-building sounds cool.

Tree of Aeon - Really good kingdom city building western novel, being made into a book.

Life Hunter - Overpowered protagonist isekaied, seems interesting but the accelerated progression tag is worrying.

Harry Potter: Dimensional Wizard - Isekai into Harry Potter world, realises that other media must also exist. Wish fulfillment going into the world of various media worlds. Harem story. Could be good, or not.

Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor - Sounds interesting, non-cliche Xianxia progression novel. <<less
