Well, 'Log Horizon' is quite like it. It focuses on characters trying to build and manage in a game - like world, which is somewhat similar to the 'machizukuri' (town - building) aspect in 'maou sama no machizukuri light novel'. There's also 'No Game No Life' where the main characters are in a world ruled by games and they have to use their wits to create their own 'kingdom' so to speak, which has some parallels.
In 'maou sama no machizukuri light novel', the concept of the maou being involved in town - building is really interesting. It's not just about building structures, but also about creating a community. There could be political intrigue as the maou has to deal with different factions within the town. The economic aspects of running a town, like resource management and trade, might also be explored in a unique way. And the story might show how the maou uses his or her power and influence to shape the town's development, both in terms of its physical appearance and the social fabric of the community.
One similar light novel could be 'Overlord'. It also features a powerful character in a game - like world setting. Another is 'Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World' which has elements of the protagonist having to deal with a complex new world much like in 'maou sama retry light novel'.
Another option might be 'Overlord'. Although it has a different setting in some ways, it shares the idea of a powerful, otherworldly being in a new environment, much like the maou in 'maou sama to kekkonshitai light novel'. It has an elaborate world - building and a host of interesting characters.
Sure. 'Sword Art Online' can be considered similar. It involves a virtual world with its own set of rules and interesting character dynamics, just like 'kami sama drop light novel'.

The protagonists are highly intelligent and there are lots of strategic battles and mind - games, similar to the strategic elements that might be in 'kami sama drop light novel'. Additionally, 'Konosuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!' has a similar comical take on the isekai genre as 'kami sama drop light novel'.
Well, 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' can be considered. It shares some elements like the protagonist's journey in a new world. And 'Sword Art Online' also has a lot of elements of adventure in a virtual world which might be appealing if you like 'maou the yuusha light novel'.
I would recommend 'Sword Art Online'. It shares some elements such as a blend of real - world and fictional elements. Also, 'The Rising of the Shield Hero' has a comparable style in terms of character growth and exploration of a different kind of world. These light novels can offer a similar reading experience to 'shinmai maou light novel'.
The 'hataraku maou sama light novel' mainly focuses on the story of the Demon King. After being transported to the human world, he has no choice but to get a job.

His interactions with them, his attempts to make a living, and his struggle to keep his true identity hidden in some cases form the main plot. For example, he might use his demon powers in a creative way to solve work - related problems, but also has to be careful not to expose himself.
