One Moo'r Plow: Minotaur Farming LitRPG

One Moo'r Plow: Minotaur Farming LitRPG, Book 1

Somebody once told a joke.

A man ran in place all his life. He worked a job he didn't love for people he couldn't stand. But at the end of the day, the number in his bank account went up.

That man got a second chance at life. He woke up in another world, one full of adventures and romances and monsters and gods. And floating above his head, he saw the number "1".

So what did he say?

"Gosh, I better make the number go up."

Not today. Not for this old soul. Reborn as a beast of battle meant to live a short life and die screaming, Garek refuses. He puts the madness of skills and levels behind him and sets out to found a little farmstead. He grows crops. Maybe someday he'll get a pig and have bacon.

It's a shame the world won't let him be. It's a shame that the warmongers and level-grinders hate nothing more than a soul at peace.

He put down his sword for a plowshare, but when trouble comes calling, he'll pick it up again.

Beautiful writing. Engaging story. Solid voice acting.

I’ve come to expect lower quality writing in litrpg. This book reminded me of what thoughtful prose can bring to a story. Intelligent writing with a strong vocabulary. The writing fluctuated from vivid to sparse in a way that accented the story and characters. I never felt it bog down. The story and world building were largely created together and felt organic. You know what you need to know when you need to know it.

The performance for this is excellent

This was a good book. The I liked the characters, the humor and performance stood out which had me laughing out loud at certain points. An area it can improve on is dealing less in interpresonal relationships and more in progression of the farm. This is because I love progression stories.

Overall, I would recommend this book.

Great story telling and fudge magic

Really liked the story telling and the characters I felt like I was right there beside the characters

You can't beat this slice-of-life Isekai litRPG!

I really enjoyed listening to One Moo'r Plow. I love slice-of-life adventure series and this one is great. With great characters and farming, you simply can't beat it. That is until you can't ignore the monsters, and farm any longer, then you hafta use all your experience to fight the monsters, to not only save your friends but the world as well. Garek is not only fighting but he's making potions too. And setting up a great ending for Garek the minotaur, in order tackle his next book and planting season.

Here's a humorous quote I found to share:

"...but that’s ‘cause humans are everywhere here.” She grimaced a little. “Not ta’ be an asshole or anythin’, but they’re kinda like pests. Short lives, breed a lot of kids, spread, and stick their noses in everything. Don’t matter if you kill a few, there’s always more to take their place. Kinda like bigger, pink goblins.”

Surprisingly Great

A wonderful mix of slice of life and action. The MC desires peace but he must fight to keep it. It’s nice to see a character in the body of something not used often in stories.
