Underrated kingdom-building story. Historical commentary (from the future) is used for world building, but also eliminates some of the suspense from the plot.

The author very cleverly reverses common tropes in the re: genre to build the protagonists character. Interesting, but translation quality goes down in later chapters.

Good if you like stories with somewhat slow pacing. Story arcs never fully resolve the conflict, slowing the plot progression down.

Try out Reverend insanity, if you haven't already. Some of the novels you read gave vibes of reverend insanity.
I must be more picky, most likely cause I've read all of these and would not put most of them on a list with this title.
Personally, to me, most of these are tr*sh webnovels.
