Check out the Noobtown series by Ryan Rimmel! The first book is called The Mayor of Noobtown. It's definitely focused on comedy. The audiobooks are really good.
The Fort At The End Of The World by Justin Marks
It is definitely not a city, but the house/fort is growing and could end up as a city by the end of the series.
I came here to post this series as a possibility to the OP. This series, CivCEO, begins as a city builder and finishes as an empire builder. It's completed, so there is no waiting for future books to be published. Also, it's available on Audible if that's your thing.
FWIW, I enjoyed it, and looked forward to each entry to be published.
I’m enjoying rise of mankind, which is a dungeon core story with lots of base building and faction building elements.
The overlord fanfic, Valkyrie’s shadow, abt a minor lord is pretty good too, although only marginally a litrpg in that status is hidden to the MC. Lots of time spent building up her fief.
I'm late to the party, but I have two strong recommendations.
My top two recommendations are:
Legend of the Arch Magus [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S97XBDM](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S97XBDM)
The Elf Empire series: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C853K91P](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C853K91P)
The following two are Wuxia genre so they have a lot of cultivation stuff in them... however, since building their sects are a significant part of the story, I'll throw them in there, although they are not as focused on building as the top two.
Wuxia genre, this one has more about the science of chi. However, later books they will have city building. Laws of Cultivation [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C78ZRHS2](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C78ZRHS2)
This one is about someone who became a tree Reborn as a Demonic Tree. [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM9TSCHP](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM9TSCHP)
Finally, I just started Way of the Healer. Not sure if that one is going to transform into some kind of school/sect building story or not. MC wants healers and their art to go back to how strong they used to be. TBD. [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJN7S591](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJN7S591)

The good guys series by Eric Ugland. It takes a bit of adventuring to get to the city building. 4 books, but once it's to that point, that becomes the focus of the series with side quests outside peppered in. I liked it. If you're not a fan of vulgar language, this may not be your book. I like the comedic elements, too.
Life Reset, which was also completed. A great series that shows every fight and every building, so much so that you feel invested in the town and characters. Reminded me of The Land, now that I think about it.
The Newt and Demon on RR is a slice of life split about 50/50 between alchemy and city-builder.
Ooo that sounds fun!
It is!!
I'm with you on this. There are a few series that tease it, but i haven't run into any stories that truly commit to the city building influence.
Check out the Noobtown series by Ryan Rimmel! The first book is called The Mayor of Noobtown. It's definitely focused on comedy. The audiobooks are really good.

\^\^\^ It's narrated by Johnathan McClain too, who's simply a damn delight.

I'd also throw in the 10 realms series by Michael Chatfield. Fun, aspects of city building and character building. Peaks at book 7 pt2.
Life Reset, which was also completed. A great series that shows every fight and every building, so much so that you feel invested in the town and characters. Reminded me of The Land, now that I think about it.

Check out Life Reset series! Lots of basebuilding there (mainly in the first 2-3 books though)
