I Love Farming Book 1
Somehow, the author managed to make a story about a man farming interesting.

I Love Farming's whole story is a farming novel first and foremost. Cui Qichao loves it, gets everyone else to also do it, and subsequently get them and the audience hooked on it as well. It's got comedy interspersed throughout the whole text; most of the comedy coming from the audience and the barrage as they spectate on MC and his farming broadcast. MC is also very cool and practical—it's so funny how he slowly changes people's minds about farming until it becomes a part of their lives.

Set in a futuristic society, Cui Qichao is contacted by LJJ Media to star in a virtual reality show because he contains the blood of an ancient emperor - these genes must mean he's an exceptional person, right?

"Actors" are implanted into a virtual world, where they have free reign to live out the life of the character they're given. Their life and actions are then recorded, edited, and released as a TV show. This is a bit like a quick transmigration novel.

Unfortunately for LJJ Media, Cui Qichao doesn't want to play out any kind of dog blood drama, star crossed romance, or action movie storyline. No, he wants to farm.

I'm not kidding when I say 80% of this novel is about Cui Qichao farming. He's incredibly driven, the urge built into his very DNA. The emperor he's descended from is Emperor Shennong, famous for his advancements in agriculture. Farming, recruiting people to farm for him, acquiring seeds and machinery, trading the output, and cooking. The rest is about his viewers and the media company, the worlds he's in, and then in the last 15 chapters or so there's some romance.

Now, the romance. If I'm being honest, the romance is just a plus. This novel could exist without it but I'm still glad that it's there. You'll probably guess the love interest after the first world or two. There's an age difference of 8 years but they're both adults. And while I wanted more from them as a couple, I don't really mind because they technically spent 4 whole arcs together already.

The worlds and settings are interesting and varied; both modern, futuristic and ancient. The writing is good, sometimes surprisingly hilarious.

I was put off by the omegaverse tag when I was deciding if I should read this because I don't really like abo, but it's just in one of the worlds, and it's really just the background setting for a couple chapters. No actual abo. The omegaverse world had me laughing incredibly hard, it was hilarious.

If you're looking for a lighthearted read that's just the main character setting out to achieve his goal, this is for you. If you're looking for a lot of romance or drama I suggest something else.

It's a good, chill read. It also makes you hungry and craving for vegetables at times too. I recommend reading I Love Farming when you've nothing much to do.
