    Reader note

    These three books are truly excellent. With my discerning eye, honed over nearly twenty years of reading experience, the first one is unlike anything I've ever read before. The protagonist starts in a post-apocalyptic world, beginning in a county and using government power to gradually reclaim the surrounding area. He's already reclaimed an entire prefecture-level city. The second one is about infrastructure development in ancient times. The protagonist is a child, and it seems to have some fantasy elements; he has a dragon or something like that as a mount. I've been reading it for a while and have forgotten a bit, but I remember it being very good. The third one, which I recently discovered, not only features the protagonist's infrastructure development but also political intrigue. The protagonist is exiled to a remote city but builds infrastructure step by step, almost reaching the steam age. It also includes political intrigue, and the emperor, crown prince, and other princes are all quite intelligent, preventing the story from feeling simplistic. Highly recommended!
