Homestead Crafter, Book 1

I never expected to get a crafting class, nor did I expect to get expelled from my family because of it. But I won't let that stop me from growing stronger and proving to my father that despite only being able to craft that doesn't mean I'm worthless.

Setting out for the Wilds, the untamed lands of the world, I promised myself that I would become a settler and flourish in the danger and fight for survival. It may sound hard, but as a Master of Crafts, I have all the professions and tools I need to build myself a homestead and survive against all odds. Not only that, but it seems I have a certain way of drawing the sapient denizens of the forest to me.

All that's left is building my house, growing my gardens, and experimenting with every crafting profession I can.

So far, a great story with a few bugs.

Still listening to the book almost through and i've noticed a few bugs in editing. There's been a glitch here and there, with a word or two out of place, in some of the earlier chapters. where one of them is the most notable is in chapter 43, there is 2 glitches in the chapter when explaining the armor, the biggest is at 10:54 the sister starts explaining the armor before it's even made.

Besides that trouble, instead having not finished the book, i'll do a better review later. So far, I am enjoying the story. the underlining plot is a good one and easy to understand, but as an anime fan, you might notice some of the similarities to a few other stories set up.
Sure, a few events here and there seem to be a little too easy for the MC, but in a fantasy sense, still believable. And the voice actors are really good, in my opinion. i actually find a male voice quite soothing.

So if you're looking for something a little different than other litrpgs, then, this one so far is a good call, a nice slice of life with fantasy races.

really good story

loved the story overall but as usual it ends up with a man who does absolutely everything his female mate/wife says etc. i find this very aggravating but otherwise it is a great story with pretty good narration as well

was great

loved the book more than i thought i would. Can not wait for the next book

amazingly good

found the book easy to listen to get into and hard to put down. narrative team did great job.

Good story but no wow

The story and characters are okay. It is a decent slice-of-life story, but unfortunately, nothing stands out. It didn't make me feel a rush to finish it.
