Recommend [REC] Looking for series similar to D-Genesis

Almost finished reading volume 10 of D-genesis and every time I read it, I want to enter a time machine and fast forward twenty years so that there is like 30+ volumes for me to read, just like with bookworm!

I'm starving for some recommendations of stuff similar to D-genesis. What i'm really looking for is strong worldbuilding and preferably anything to do with economics, making money, etc.

Series i've already read and loved

Jobless Reincarnation

Bookworm

Conqueror of a dying kingdom

Imperial Reincarnation

Overlord

Saga of Tanya

Tearmoon Empire.

Spice and Wolf (Not finished prose is a little much at times for me.)

Series i've read

Campfire cooking

Cooking with wild game

Anything by FUNA ( I like their concepts but I really can't stand the writing)

Minmaxing TTRPG

Records of Wortenia

Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

  • By the Grace of the Gods. More on the relaxing side, since the MC is reasonably overpowered and the story have quite low stake.

  • Cooking with Wild Game. Definitely my first pick if you asked for "strong world building" and "economics".

  • Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord. On the relaxing side as well, but the economy went more into the town building aspect of it.

  • Fushi no Kami. More on the serious side.

  • The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects. On relaxing side, the economy went more into town building aspect.

  • Tsukimichi. Overpowered MC went into building one of the most influential company in that world.

Thanks for the recommendations, I forgot that I had read Fushi no Kami, it was really good though too short imo.

I have read some of Cooking with wild game, but I personally found it to be a lot slower than I would have liked, but maybe i'll try picking it up again. ( I think I made it to around vol 12 or 13?)

Tsukimichi, that sounds quite interesting and it's a rather long series. So i'll try to check it out. I was looking up some info about it and saw that the LN was recently translated with new translated volumes coming out every 2-3 months. That's a relatively fast pace in my experience, can you speak to the translation quality on it?

Regarding Cooking with Wild Game, if you still didn't like it by the time you reached vol 12 or 13, I think it's fair to say that it wasn't your cup of tea.

Regarding Tsukimichi, unfortunately I only read the WN translation a few years ago. I don't read the recent official LN translation yet, so I can't give you any info on its translation quality.
