Completed stories with a focus on action, adventure and/or world-building. I like these stories, but I would not consider them masterpieces. Some stories may be... more>> repetitious, have bland characters, or have an unsatisfying ending. Nevertheless, they are all entertaining. For the top tier, please refer to my [5 Star Stories] recommendation list. <<less

These are the novels which I feel like deserves to be called good. I am a new reader of light/web novels, and have read only... more>> 50 or so. So there isn't many in this list. Finding this among all of NU was akin to finding a needle in a haystack. If you have any recommendations, do let me know :) (Not in any particular order) <<less

Most of them idk yet. ... more>>

Almost have harem and smut

No ai, yuri, yaoi.  <<less

Serious/Seinen themes with as less cliché elements as possible. Preferably clever and calm MCs. No harems, maybe one odd love interest but nothing frivolous. Negligible... more>> comedy tropes.  <<less

Well it Will be a compilation of a couple thing mostly cultivation with romantic subplot or romance ... more>>

Well i added some novels with system and some with s*x cause some MC are more ass*xual than an assexual 

The order doesnt really matter.

10 Kingdom Building novels that stand out, with actual good Kingdom Building. ... more>>

Unfortunately I cannot include WNs not on this website. If I could, it would include:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
= Enlightened Empire = 

(https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/20920/enlightened-empire)

+ Mixed Kingdom Building, Politics & Action. A lot of thought put into the world and it's authenticity.

- Some conflicts can feel frustrating & HIATUS

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
= The Iron Teeth: A Goblin's Tale = 

(https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/4293/the-iron-teeth-a-goblins-tale)

+ Heavy Action Adventure, Kingdom Building towards the end. The best depiction of Goblin's ever.

- So many things left untold.   <<less

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

Mainly adventure/fantasy/xianxia/xuanhuan/wuxia/isekai novels that i have read or i am currenly reading.
