Casual Farming

Casual Farming has far more combat than I was expecting. Crabgrass and other weed monsters attack the farm constantly until Jason builds a fence. As the farm grows, it attracts more interesting monsters, but the first half of the book is lots of boring critters.

The first chapter is six years in the future, so we already know who Jason will eventually marry. That sucks the tension out of all romantic relationships and rivalries. That's a shame because only the first relationship chronologically has any chemistry and we know it's not going anywhere.

Things I like:
- Every chapter is one day and starts with the same wake up text. It cements the “farm game” feel.
- The nearby dungeon functions similarly to one in an adventurer based gamelit story but it's not Jason's career so the story doesn't focus on it too much.

Writing could really use an editor but is fine by gamelit/KU standards.
