The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects

Kazuma starts his life as a lord in a remote border region with absolutely no people to rule. This premise drives the Japanese light novel series The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects, written by Fuurou and illustrated by Kinta. The story launched as a web serial on Shōsetsuka ni Narō in January 2018 before Earth Star Entertainment picked it up for print under their Earth Star Novel imprint that October. Readers follow Kazuma as he navigates the challenges of building a community from scratch, relying on wits and determination rather than an existing army or population.[edit]
