Entry metadata
Jim dies, respawns in a fantasy world, and gets saddled with the town-building tutorial nobody wanted — mayor of a ruin in the middle of monster country, guided by a chunky spirit guide with attitude. Noobtown grows anyway.
Progression: settlement mechanics plus personal levels, with perks that reward doing right by your people.
Reader fit: you want cozy-adjacent town building with jokes-per-page density.
Texture: goofy, generous, reliably fun.
