This list is incomplete. You can help by expanding it.

I would recommend The Land by Aleron Kong and Daniel Black by E. William Brown. Daniel Black can get a little raunchy, if that is not something you are looking for you might want to skip it. Both book series are excellent and worth a read.

Just remembered Fimbulwinter: Daniel Black Book 1. No Qi but the MC's goal is simply to survive the end of the world. Collects a merry band of follwers along the way. It is a good read and somewhat fits.

Stories with a similar feeling:

https://www.novelupdates.com/series/a-sorcerers-journey (warning, not as good as the other 4)

but if you want kingdom building, then you really gotta read https://www.novelupdates.com/series/release-that-witch/

I would also suggest reading the daniel black series since it seems a lot like something you would enjoy...

I tend to like stories that make me laugh and make me think. Here are a couple recs that met that criteria.

1. I think I stumbled upon this on SV somewhere; also it is mentioned in Open Fanfiction Thread. Applied Cultural Anthropology, or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Cruciatus. Great character arc for Hermione as she learns social skills in Slytherin, which makes you think about how social dominance can be a force for good or bad. Also liked that it makes Neville a main character. (Currently on chapter 8, as I just started it yesterday.)
   
   
2. Daniel Black Book 1: Fumbulwinter. This one costs money, but you can read the first six chapters here. YMMV/TW/etc, has some author tract elements with a neoreactionary flavor and contains a certain amount of BDSM as well as other sex scenes (all consensual). It is by the same author as Time Braid, and the character becomes similarly overpowered compared to those around him. My biggest complaint with this one is that the main character seems really slow on the uptake about how to exploit his powers, and the magic system comes across a little too exploitable. But he does do some smart things, the worldbuilding is interesting (if a tad exploitable), and it's entertaining enough that I ended up buying all three of the books.

Series. One of my favorites. First one is called Fimbulwinter.

I love this type of stuff too so I have some suggestions for you!(Read the real descriptions for the books, these are just quick ones I put together.)

[Manga]

[Light Novel/Web Novel]

Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou

Mushoku Tensei
A 34-year-old NEET otaku was chased out from his house by his family. This virgin, plump, unattractive, and penniless nice guy found that his life was heading towards a dead end. He recalled that his life could actually become much better if he can get over the dark history of his life.
Just when he was at the point of regret, he saw a truck moving at a high speed with 3 high school students in its path. Mustering all his strength, he saves them but ended up getting run over by the truck, which kills him.
The next time he opens his eyes, he had reincarnated to a world of swords and magic, as Rudeus Greyrat. Born to a new world and a new life, Rudeus declared, "This time, I'll really live my life to the fullest with no regrets!" Thus begins the journey of a newly made man

Log Horizon
Just read the description on the site. It has the basic premise of SAO, but it is very different than SAO.(Has an anime also)

These are the only one I can think of at the moment.

Edit: formatting

The Daniel Black books are pretty good. Unfortunately there are only three at the moment.

It's about a man who has a string of bad luck and at his bedside at the hospital a goddess from another world appears and offers him a new life if he will become the guardian for her last priestess and keep her alive in the apocalypse.

I like how he uses magic in the universe, always experimenting and coming up with new inventions.

I think the only book I know like this is Fimbulwinter by E. William Brown.

I can't really see any translated novels that I read and someone else hasn't already recommended, but here are a few English ones:

Worm, it's a completed web novel with a lot of chapters. Although I dropped it halfway through, I think it's a really good read (and has tons of good fanfics as well).

Daniel Black (book)

Contractor (book)

Some of the LitRPG stuff on Amazon qualifies for this. There are quite a few cool original English stories as well as some great translated (mainly from Russian) stuff on amazon available pretty cheaply or for 'free' if you've got the monthly kindle unlimited subscription.

The Daniel Black series and the Dragon's Wrath series most closely match the kingdom/etc building themes you're asking for.
