    haven't really touched MW as from what reviews i've read say that the beginning and middle are pretty bad compared to the end which would be ranked 10/10 on its own
    also TMW is still being written so it should be to catch up everyone else

    its not that their worse than one another but its the plot that makes it good MW is like a soldier who lost everything getting a chance 2 start over anew where as TMW is like a pauper raising a kingdom from scratch that kinda reasoning

    Thanks for the help, I think I've taken interest in TMW I want a story about building a kingdom from scratch, there aren't many of those in CN and I'm putting Hail the King off for a while.

    its a comparison only the idea is close enough but not sure about the end result since author still writing it hes not actually building a kingdom from scratch it was the only way i could phrase it out properly my bad haha:whistle:

    Sorry the only JP novel I follow is Golden world master but I did take an interest in Re:Monster's manga before I started reading novels I still follow it o this day I just wish it was weekly releases instead of monthly.

    - My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

    theres some world building in those i believe.... and they are amusing(im hoping you didnt mean actual kingdoms/country building...)

    Can I just say I totally like this thread? lol

    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/dominions-end/ Not many chapters but each chapter's pretty long. rather than world building, more like character building which is just as enjoyable

    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/douluo-dalu/ Intense world building, the whole "cultivating" system is very detailed and consistent/makes sense, it's slow to build up with lots of descriptions but once you get into it, it's totally worth it! Like all fighting novels, they have their cultivating and tournament arcs, but I love the character development (of not just the MC but the side characters as well)!
