Leveling My Farm on the Monster Frontier
Arriving ten years late to a magical war isn't a glitch. It's an opportunity.
Riker expected a quiet retirement. Instead, he wakes up on a monster-infested frontier, gifted with the seemingly useless class of [Farmer].
His new property? A ruined death-trap sitting on cursed soil. The local goblin hordes and blight lords think he’s easy prey.
They’re dead wrong.
Where the world sees a suicide mission, he sees the ultimate fixer-upper. He’s going to tap into raw magic, build an impenetrable stone fortress, and ruthlessly slaughter anything dumb enough to test his walls.
But a fortress needs a crew. In a war-torn world where the male population was bled dry, fierce, capable women are struggling to survive on the edge of the Blight. A pragmatic huntress, a chaotic fox-kin fire mage, and eager elven refugees are about to find out exactly what a master farmer can provide.
He's going to protect his land, feed the needy, and plant the seeds of an empire.

I made it 55% of the way through this book, just after the first intimate scene, and DNF it. It was boring, and has the signs of machine assisted writing in it.
The MC is a former military combat engineer and current wildland firefighter. He's 40, and he's getting too old for that . His apartment is swallowed by some sort of magical black hole and he arrives in a new world with all his memories and skills, but he's now 22 again so his body doesn't hurt. He's been given the Farmer class with a subclass for animal husbandry. And based on his previous life, plenty of fairly broken skills. He has a plot of land on a major ley line that he can start his farming empire. So he gets started. And that represents 90% of the story; him farming.
There are two women hanging out with him all the time as LIs, and they are both just ok. The one is a human huntress that mostly uses a bow, so naturally she has a very formidable chest, because that makes archery easier I guess. The other is a vulpine fire mage, and I think the author sometimes forgets that vulpine = fox, because this fox woman purrs at times, and stretches like a feline. The first intimate scene is a threesome, and it takes less than 2 pages to describe, because the details are pretty much nil. Having it be FTB would have been a better choice than to waste a threesome on 1.5 pages.
The machine writing aspect comes in because the "author" forgets things they just wrote. At one point, the MC puts on this leather harness that's attached to this heavy wagon so he can pull it. Then in the very next paragraph, he knows he needs to walk the perimeter of his lands so he does just that. Then comes back and puts the harness on so he can pull the wagon. Which he already did, but they "author" forgot that part. He as the vulpine woman radiating a lot of heat, and then 2 paragraphs later she's cuddling up to him because he's warm and she's cold. He trades his jeans (denim is made from canvas) in for a pair of sturdy canvas pants. Too many times, things are poorly thought out, which makes the question of machine writing a valid one.
I will not read anything further in this series. This is my second time being seriously disappointed in a book by this author, so they are on my "don't waste my time unless my TBR is empty" list now.

I always have a problem with MC’s who are in their 40’s come back in their 20’s and then act their 12 years old.
When they see a good looking woman. I just find it idiotic.
There’s a few other things that stupid. Like him nodding to the girl’s father and him nodding back. The father is blind!!
The editor should catch stupid mistakes like this. And that’s just one example.
Overall not a bad book. But I would like to see him out hunting and defending his territory more often. Farming’s fine but it’s also boring

My reviews are my own. If you enjoyed this book, I'm glad you did. If not, I respect your opinion, so please respect mine. This is simply my perspective, so let's keep the discussion courteous. My review is honest and voluntary. As a reader, I read to escape the world and its issues, and my reviews reflect that.
Copy/Paste generic.....sexist chauvinistic trope.
Onward and forward to my next adventure. Happy reading!!!

A lord who just wants to farm
Yes is a pathetic example of the woke generation. Do you have an engineer put on a fantasy world. He could be a lord and build his own kingdom instead he just wants to play in the dirt.
Pathetic!
Give me immortal OP conquers any day instead.
This dumb farmer is pathetic.
Won't be reading the next book.

A wonderful read.
It’s not often that I read a book that holds my attention to the point of not wanting to put it down. But this one is. It’s a shame that the story doesn’t continue, but it does have a wonderful ending.

Story plot was ok but lots of times tgere were many inconsistencies that broke the immersion alot. Im not sure if this was ai assisted but it fels like it. The plot was enjoyable but annoying to slug through.
