I absolutely love to read about friends creating chaos together. Reading about pure friendship and their shenanigans is more interesting than romance. 

Cultivation with comedy

Clan building is an entirely new branch out of the xuanhuan genre avoiding many of the annoying tropes of the xuanhuan genre and instead opting... more>> for the perspective of being a member of the clan/sect, facing troubles and joy together. Warning: there are a ton of different types of clan building novels from glorified harem collecting to genuine political intrigue clan building novels. This list include all of them.  <<less

Works that I've read and recommend for interesting moments or examples of worldbuilding in their chosen setting, mostly fantasy or xianxia. How do people live and do work there? How does magic shape society, politics, logistics and the environment? What are the consequences that magic and users of it have on the world around them?... more>>

I am a big fan of the "sect" genre. Here I will list a few of my favourite novels of the genre. These novels... more>>

- feature a protagonist that is a cultivator of a sect

- describe the development (or decline) of the sect

- involve master/disciple and seniority-based relationships

- play with the passing of passing of time and span across hundred of years

At the bottom I also list "false friends", novels which don't fulfill the promise of their title and fall short the glorious genre of sect novels.

[The order is random, but I read and enjoyed all of them for at least 1000 pages.] <<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.info/viewlist/10742/)... more>>

First, a few worthy mentions that aren't on NU:
1. The iron teeth - although territory development comes late in the story, it's well done and exotic, being based on a goblin kingdom
2. Castle Kingside (rewrite) - a lot of inspiration from Release that Witch, imo improved! Warning: it's slow. Kingdom only begins around c60ish.
3. Chosen of the Endless One
4. The Eagle's Flight - highly intricate fantasy webnovel
5. 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.
6. Defiance of the fall
7. 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!
8. The Expansion (Legend of the Arch Magus) - [have not yet read] - recommendation from Hitexh in the comments
9. Enlightened Empire - weaker than the others <<less

List of novels that focuses primarily on building the MC's faction whether it's a kingdom/sect/clan. Generally, these type of novels have less focus on cultivation... more>> (so, not much filler on cultivating and leveling up) and more on building relationships, gathering followers and training them up. <<less
