Dark Lord of the Farmstead

A High Fantasy Slice-of-Life LitRPG

By: John Broadway

Narrated by: Jonathan Waters, Jessica Threet

Once feared as the Dark Lord, I now seek a fresh start as a humble farmer.

Isekaied into a level 86 Necromancer-King's body, I leave his life of war behind in favor of peace in the idyllic Borderlands. Upon meeting the elven maiden Narya Summerdew and a razor-toothed half-elven child, the three of us form an unlikely improvised family in the hopes of remaining anonymous.

As we embrace the eccentric community of Gelderham, we find happiness in simplicity…But my past casts shadows on our growing bonds. How will Narya react when she learns her new husband was once the evil king set on destroying her people?

In this heartwarming tale of farms, villages, side quests, and level progression, unexpected bonds help a trio of charming characters learn the importance of love and family as secrets are unveiled and hearts are healed.

Dark Lord of the Farmstead is a cozy slice-of-life LitRPG. Enjoy a wholesome story fit for people who enjoy slow life fantasies with lower-than-average stakes and fun but flawed characters that you can’t help but fall in love with.

Very fun and relaxing book.

This is mainly a romance novel. It is a good listen. The climax of the book is meh/mid. I really enjoyed it regardless.

Not bad at all.

Not deep and or moving, but a light easy listen. Not too light and with just the right amount of slice of life in a fantasy world. I'd listen to a sequel.

Great Book

Worth the listen I enjoyed the slice-of-life portion especially, I am buying the second book now. :)

Incredible narration and book

My favorite book in a long while. I enjoyed the story and the narrators took it to greater heights.

Great LitRPG meets farmer book

The character development is great. I am really looking forward to seeing what happens next and that the author turns this into a series :)

Superb.

Bought it on a whim honestly. Never heard of it before but it is of a style and genre that I enjoy. The double voice actors was a bit meh for me at first as it is not something I am used to however I quickly got used to it. The story is fun, funny, endearing and enjoyable. Some parts in the beginning kind of felt a bit like a teen was writing it for some reason but that quickly went away. I am looking forward to getting the next book later this year.

Came for the art. Stayed for the story.

This one is pure gold. Jessica is in my top five narrators.
Story is solid.
Mc is relatable and normal. The best kind.
Not really into a system world build, but it works with this story.

Going to get book 2 when it is available.

Incredible Performance

You know how when your little and you want someone to ready you a story in the voices this is that. The performance felt like I was actually being told a story and not just listening to one. I honestly can’t praise it more than I already do that’s just how good a job it was.

loved every minute

I loved every minute of this story. The narrators nailed this, and the pace of the story moves perfectly.
I enjoyed the characters, and I can't wait for book 2.

I have been looking for another good slice of life series to follow besides beware of chicken, and this is the best one I have found. I am very glad I saved my credit until this released.

better than expected

I was just killing time, waiting for my other series to drop new books. I was pleasantly surprised. This is a competently written slice of life. The voice acting is excellent. I will try the next two books in the series.
