Does anyone know a novel that has a good kingdom Building? I want something that doesn't have face slapping every other chapter, preferably something like "I'm The King of technology"
https://www.novelupdates.com/series/nano-mashin/ https://reaperscans.com/series/nano-machine/ I haven't read the novel. I've just been reading the manhwa where the first major story arc involving the MC's time in the demon clan's battle academy was completed. All during the academy's several group exams, the MC had been recruiting and only accepting those who pledged to loyalty and support for his ascension in the demon clan's rank. He deliberately avoids making friends and has openly rejected people who won't pledge to be his subordinates.
If you are willing to read novels originating from Japan, I suggest: Arslan Senki (old but gold) https://www.novelupdates.com/series/arslan-senki/ NPC Town-Building Game (quite a different experience than your standard kingdom-building novel, I found it refreshing despite the frequent NEET-bashing) https://www.novelupdates.com/series/npc-town-building-game/ And for some standard LNs that people have divided opinions on: I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!https://www.novelupdates.com/series/im-the-evil-lord-of-an-intergalactic-empire/ To Be a Power in the Shadows! https://www.novelupdates.com/series/to-be-a-power-in-the-shadows-ln/ Sevens https://www.novelupdates.com/series/sevens/ Genjitsushugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki https://www.novelupdates.com/series/genjitsushugi-yuusha-no-oukoku-saikenki/ I claim no responsibility for any frustration or brain cells lost from reading these. I have low standards and bad taste, hahahah.
