Rise of the Undead Empress: A LitRPG Kingdom Builder

Rate this book
The novice period is over.
After surviving her first seven days as a Lord, Lilith expected the world to become safer. Instead, the System unlocks weekly events, Alliances, Portals, and Wonders—features that immediately change the rules of survival.
The first weekly event appears the Lordship Prosperity Trial. Lords earn points by building, upgrading, and expanding their Territories. But once Alliances become available, the leaderboard turns into a resource war. Large groups begin pooling their points, their armies, and their supplies, pushing lone Lords and small Parties out of the rankings.
Lilith has only one real Bonnie.
Bonnie’s Territory is rich in timber and iron, but its defenses are weak. If the two of them want to compete against full Alliances, they must rely on Lilith’s undead labor force, Bonnie’s resources, the newly built Portal, and the clues leading to Wonder Ruins.
Then the Wonders begin to appear.
One lies deep within the moving Blighted Forest. Another is hidden in the Frostlands, inside a Frost Sabertooth stronghold. A third emerges near Bonnie’s Verdant Forest. Each Wonder can change the leaderboard, but each one also draws native races, rival Lords, and new enemies into the fight.
Lilith can no longer survive by defending her own walls.
She must expand, seize resources, protect her ally, and fight for the Wonders before the Alliances leave her behind.

Original was good but this remaster is gold

Read the original before the author remade it, so I can instantly see the changes! Things that didn't make sense before, like how some thing just easily happened without build up or whatever are more fleshed out and well done. In the first version she had a best friend that was a merchant and ended up where Bonnie is now and a girl that had fox units. I wonder if they'll still exist in this version and appear later or not. I hope so but Bonnie basically seems like a replacement but we'll see!

Good work!

I have the author followed and Amazon didn’t even provide a notice, but read it the second I saw it when checking to see if the old series was re-released yet.

This series is definitely a lot different love them both though, this one seems to have a lot less power creepy maybe? Eagerly awaiting more books in all the series you are working on!

Loving this

Hard to stop reading. I love the 4x game style theme of the story. High fantasy mix with human elements. Short enough for exciting content but long enough to add character growth.

Just as fun as the first

I enjoyed this installment, and it keeps ramping up. This series has become a 1-click, and I can't wait till the next volume.

Another great rework

Better than the original by a far margin. No complaints and excited for book 3. (This is just to clear the word count)

I mentioned before the other series extremely similar to this one. I'm really enjoying the way this book is diverging from the the other series. Can't wait to read the other books.

A fun and interesting spin

As a note, I did not read the previous iteration of this series and only recently found it.

Book 2 builds on the everything from book 1 and doesn’t deviate.
I enjoyed this book and will be reading the next when it is released.
