By: Shawn Wyatt

Narrated by: Ryan Kennard Burke

Drake needed a new start, and the small farm on the outskirts of the kingdom seemed like the perfect chance.

Just one problem: he doesn't know the first thing about farming. He's also not sure how to deal with the giant, magical rooster that lives on his farm.

But it's a fresh start, and Drake intends to make the best of it.

Daily chores, a slew of monsters, and a haunted garden are one thing, but when his past catches up to him, Drake will have to learn to juggle his new responsibilities, a budding social life, and a secret that could cost him everything.

How to Be a Farmer In a Fantasy World is a cozy, slice-of-life GameLit about a man and his farm in a familiar world.

Well written cozy story

It’s a pleasant story of a young man changing his situation. I enjoyed the mild romance. The inclusion of unusual monsters was fun. I liked that most solutions weren’t deadly. I’m looking forward to seeing where the rest of the series goes. The narrator did great job with all their voices, it’s nice to hear someone who doesn’t just pitch their voice too high.
If you’re looking for a good cozy read I recommend this story.

Totally not set in Stardew Valley. *wink*

I think this really does fit the bill for a nice cozy adventure. Dealing with crops, occasionally beating off farm-level threats to those crops, maybe romance some local inhabitants. It's all very pleasant. Making friends and growing giant lettuce. Nice low stakes most of the time, but with just enough occasional threat leaking in from the outside world to add some tension. Oh and a fire-breathing lightning rooster. Have fun!

Fun, cozy farming book

The narrator was great. The story was laid back and entertaining. If you need a disruption in your heavy stakes fantasy audiobooks, this will give you that.

For low stakes this is highly engaging

I bought the first book on a whim because it was in a two for one sale. I quickly devoured this fun series that proves the stakes don’t have to be high to be engaging. Who would have thought farming could be so exciting? Give this book a chance and you won’t be disappointed.

Humor, well thought out characters, story telling, the theme of magic is helpful but being good is more important.

was it 5000 or 50000 as a reward? that was the only thing that occurred with to me as I listened to it twice.
