Farming For Gold

I wrote this story because there's a lack of good LitRPG stories about crafters. Authors come up with these great worlds then only focus on a single charter and quest line who spends most of his time out in the world raiding various dungeons while ignoring most of the game world.

I wanted to create a story where the focus is on the MC's crafting profession and how he uses it to gain power rather than him getting some epic rare quest and wandering off to magically became a fighter. I want the other guilds and players to have their own motivations and be more than just names who's only goal seems to be to capture or kill the MC.

I want this story to be about farming and guild politics rather than high-adventure. It'll take a while to hit it's stride but I hope everyone will be happy when it does.

I feel like this is what Bringing the Farm to Live in Another World should have been.  I have read a few books that supposedly focus on crafting, mining, or farming but that focus is usually lackluster at best.  Combat and mass battles seem to come in all too often.  This book does a very nice job of staying focused and interesting.  The characters feel real and the story is solid.  I really look forward to every new chapter.

If there was one thing that stands out a bit, the MC seems to make sudden jumps in social competence occaisionally.  He originally is described as unsocial almost to the point of autistic but by chapter 11 he seems to be a very well adjusted, socially adept individual. He goes from so dense that he never thinks of his childhood friend as anything but a friend to suavely hitting on her in no time flat.  I was glad to avoid the cringe but it felt unexpected given the initial description of the character.

This story is amazingly well written.  Plot progression makes sense.  The main character isn't overpowered.  And the experience grind takes into account the players class.  

There is just enough real-world mix with the virtual world to keep you invested in both lives.  And the player is smart.  He makes choices that make sense.  And although he has the luck that most Main characters have, it isn't so overpowering to be unbelievable.  

There is a logic and progression to this story that makes me glad I decided to give this novel a chance.

That said, I almost didn't simply because of the cover.  I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but this one really needs a re-design!

Avoids 2d characters and cliche ones, isn't harem, good world building, and good overall. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Give it a try it is honestly one of the novels i wait every week to read if the author could put out at least two a week i would probably give it 5 Stars.

This is my first review . I am very impressed with the quality of the story. Keep doing good job with this and it will be great if you can make 2 chapters a week.
