Recently I read a western novel called Cultivating Civilization that had an MC that led a group of mercenaries and I loved it, any novel in which the MC forms and leads some kind of group? I'm interested in reading how the MC makes decisions and gets subordinates.
My House of Horrors - MC gains ghost subordinates by solving their regrets or by smashing them with a sledgehammer. MC also hires human employees. It is a great horror novel minus the fact that a certain company that starts with Q has it hostage with paywall(you can easily sail the seven seas tho)
I do not know if it is what I am looking for because by the chapter in which I am going it is part of a group but it is not the one that leads it.
