My favorite genre has always been Kingdom Building. The protagonist is shown as a leader who builds his village, town, clan, or country. We witness a lot of conflicts, battles, and strategies in Kingdom Building.
Development and warfare have always piqued my interest. That’s why one of my favorite comics is Release That Witch Manhua which shows both development and warfare better than any other comic.
