About This Series

“What if your second chance at life thrust you into a ruthless, strategic war game where your survival depended on mastering the rules as you went?”

“What if your second chance at life thrust you into a ruthless, strategic war game where your survival depended on mastering the rules as you went?”

Matt's mundane life on Earth ends abruptly, only to restart in a chaotic, game-like realm where he's expected to rule a fledgling kingdom. With a world map made of hexagrams and semi-sentient units at his command, he faces an immediate existential threat and no instruction manual.

Matt, a former office worker seeking purpose, is an intelligent and principled young man, though initially insecure and overwhelmed by his sudden leadership responsibilities.

His journey is one of relentless strategic growth, as he slowly builds his base, manages resources, and navigates complex tactical decisions against overwhelming odds. It's a challenging, weak-to-strong progression where every victory is hard-earned, and every loss carries significant weight in a no-romance, military fantasy setting.

Experience a truly 'crunchy' LitRPG with deep tactical and base-building mechanics.
Follow a smart protagonist's slow, satisfying growth from an ordinary office worker to a strategic leader.
Engage with a no-romance, military fantasy narrative focused purely on survival and strategic warfare.

Strategy games like 4X or hex-based war games.
LitRPG series that emphasize kingdom-building and resource management.

•The series features a mixed tone, balancing the grim reality of war with the protagonist's internal reflections.
•Books are novellas, leading to a slower, more deliberate progression of the overarching narrative.
•While advertised as complete, some readers felt the ending left plot threads unresolved due to its conclusion.

⚖️The Verdict

Dive into *Magic Kingdom at War* for a gritty, strategic LitRPG experience where every decision on the hex map could mean the difference between survival and annihilation.
