The Royal System: Ruler of the Poorest Kingdom (A 4X-Styled LitRPG)

Transmigration isn’t always fun and games. For bored office worker Oliver Marsden, being summoned to a land of fantasy is a dream come true. He can go on adventures, fight monsters, and become the greatest hero his new world has ever seen. Unfortunately, the System has other ideas. One cheap RTS knock-off later, he’s burdened with the crown of the continent’s poorest kingdom! Armed with kooky subordinates, strange Skills, and a stat sheet ripped from the wrong kind of game, Oliver must face war, poverty, treachery and corruption in his attempts to rebuild his new nation. He'll have to learn to reconcile grand ideals with a harsh reality, and stare down the true cost of progress.  But can he become the King this country needs? What to expect:  - A jaded but idealistic protagonist with a strategic mind  - A System that fuses RPG and 4X mechanics, complete with stats and blue boxes  - An expansive cast of varied and dynamic characters  - Tactical combat  - A HFY story containing elements of action, kingdom building, and a character-first approach  What not to expect: - A harem. Yes, there are female characters. Yes, they are friendly with the protagonist. No, that does not make them a harem, no matter what certain reviews would have you believe.  - Any kind of murderhoboing  - An OP protagonist who is an instant expert and doesn't make mistakes.
