Seconding the rec for Goblin Emperor! Don't go in it for the plot but enjoy a protagonist who's genuinely a good person. The process nerd in me also strangely appreciated the huge emphasis on paperwork and negotiation that goes into running a government - nothing gets solved with battles or sword fights.
One note of caution: the names and titles are ridiculous. There's a guide in the back of the book about naming conventions, and a cast of characters. But really it's impossible to keep track of who's who for the first half. I just rolled my eyes and kept reading.
