Western fantasy, farming, conquest, slow burn, no System, pseudo-ensemble cast
Cast out by his family and exiled to the wasteland, Leon is expected to last no more than three days. Instead, he awakens a plundering talent and uses his wits to seize merchant caravans, recruit mercenaries, and build a city. When his elder brother arrives at the gates with a vast army, Leon sits on his throne and smiles: “Now it’s your turn to learn what it feels like to be plundered.”
Highlights:
✦ A noble family’s second son, exiled to the wasteland frontier, starts from nothing
✦ He builds his fortune through cunning raids and unites different peoples to forge a power base
✦ The multiple heroines have a strong presence, and the romance and career storylines receive equal attention
✦ Every supporting character has their own story arc
Update schedule: One chapter at 8 a.m. and another at 8 p.m., two chapters daily (over 300,000 words already written ahead)
I like this kind of slow-heating infrastructure! Please keep this rhythm 🤭
