Hi everyone!
I’ve just reached a milestone: Arc 1 is finished (88 chapters, ~60,000 words) and Arc 2 has just begun.
I’m aiming to create a story with a unique spin on the Kingdom Building genre. I keep the introduction of physical modern technology and substances to a minimum. Instead, the protagonist uses IT-style logic and system architecture thinking to "debug" the fantasy world's social structures.
I would love to get your honest thoughts on whether this concept is working effectively.
### The Pitch
- MC is an IT freelancer summoned to another world—along with his entire house.
- He refuses to leave his home (the "Sanctuary of Stagnation"), so he manages the territory remotely using drones, transceivers, and "system patches."
- He treats social issues as "system bugs" and fixes them by applying organizational logic and maintenance-first engineering to the world's "Social OS."
### The Twist
While the MC is busy optimizing the world from his sofa with a bag of chips, his black cat is secretly the "Hero of Legend," physically cleaning up the monsters and threats he never notices.
### I’d love your feedback on:
1. The System Hook — Does treating social issues as "bugs" and applying "patches" via IT logic feel like a fresh intellectual hook to you?
2. The Protagonist — Does a shut-in lead who never leaves his house remain a compelling and likable protagonist after 80+ chapters, or does he lose his appeal due to the lack of physical action?

If you enjoy rational leads, system optimization, or unique world-building, I’d really appreciate your thoughts!
