That whole system - is more intriguing than I expected. The 'reincarnation' aspect of jumping to this world and how it ties to the religion / practicalities of how the magic system works and how it ties to the sun and the cycle of mana that fuels it. There is hints that this could really be something big. The world building in this book is a step above what I normally run into on here. Great story! (Spoiler Alert) I did enjoy this one, and I look forwards to picking up any future books in hopefully what will be a long series. Great story kept me riveted 80-90% of the time. He gets redeemed at the end and realizes that he's being an asshole, but it's too little too late for me. All the humour is based on him doing idiotic things. For most of the book, the people around him think he's an idiot, and even the MC thinks of himself as one. It's to the point where this book isn't even about farming but about a man who does his best to get out of farming. He is whiny, impulsive, willfully ignorant, and obsessed with killing monsters. Someone described him as a 'loveable idiot', but I just found him aggravating. Spoiler - Honestly, I didn't really like the MC. The characters all have their unique voice and personality. It's a unique idea that deviates from your usual scenario where the MC goes into dungeons to kill monsters. I enjoyed the plot, pacing, and narration. By finding loopholes in the system, he achieves his goal - killing monsters by setting traps on his farm. He exploited games in the old world and uses those skills to get out of farming vegetables. The story is about an MC who gets reincarnated as a farmer and tries his best to get out of being one. The reviews, description, book cover, and sample clip all perpetuated that idea. I went into the book expecting our MC to be a farmer. Like at all.įollow Arnold on his hilarious journey as he stubbornly comes to grips with his new reality and tries to change his destiny from that of your typical farmer. There is just one small problem: Farmers don't gain experience from killing monsters. Now stuck on a new Earth, in a new universe, with no way home, Arnold must use his gaming skills to figure out how to level his farmer class to 100 and gain a second class which doesn't make him want to beat his head against the wall. That standard procedure doesn't apply to Arnold. It could be a bad joke, but apparently, it happens so often that they have a standard procedure for returning you. He’s certainly not the chosen one who is there to save the world. What do you have when you blend a pinch of LitRPG, a touch of farming simulator, a sprinkle of epic fantasy, a whole cup of Isekai, and a dash of Home Alone ? You have Arnold’s life.Īccidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer, wakes upon an altar to find himself incarnated into the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his fatter twin.

Oh great i reincarnated as a farmer
