So good! I finished it feeling so satisfied but wanting more extras.

True to the title, it's about our MC creating a farming game to share the joy of farming. The game came like a tsunami, quickly becoming the most popular game and boy do trust me when I say I wanted to immediately open my stardew valley/rune factory/farming game to play along whenever the game updated.

The romance was so-so, honestly I was more focused on the farming and gaming updates, but the ML loves the MC very much and they... more>> don't have any roadblocks what not, so you can fully enjoy the farming experience without interuptions.

One thing was just how unrealistic the whole making a game thing was. As someone learning how to design a game there were so many questionable moments but I can close eye since its all fantasy~ I wish I could make a game just by imagining it too~

It's a very feel good novel so you shouldn't think too deeply about some plot points. I feel myself really destressed while reading. Really enjoyed it! <<less

It's not a work of art but it's fun engaging and I couldn't put it down.

I really love the game building aspect of this and while I wish that it could be longer and that the romance was focused on just that little bit more but was overall pleased with what I got.

The Mc's background was interesting as actually being from the interstellar but getting self imposed amnesia before going through a worm hole to another world, and I liked the slight difference in his personality before and after the reveal but I found myself having to get used to it a little

It's not a literary masterpiece and it never wanted to be one.

Don't look for deep logic, don't expect intricate developments, everything happens conveniently and the world-building is tailor-made for the story to work.

But it's the warmest, happiest novel you can accidentally stumble over, which I did.

... more>> The characters are charming, detailed, have (very) different traits and voices.
There's a bit of face slapping, most of the perpetrators didn't do it with malicious intentions and actually try to make up for it when they understand that they were wrong.

MC is a wholesome god who's truly interested in pleasing his believers and making their life better, he's an incredibly nice person, forgiving, strong willed, and hard working.

ML isn't a cold CEO type of man but a normal person, he laughs, is sometimes a bit childish or shows off, he knows how to enjoy himself and cares for his friends and subordinates.

The romance isn't instant, it develops gradually over time, they start as online-friends and go from there.

A few surprises aren't missing either, they are pretty obvious and cliché so not a surprise for readers who already read this kind of trope a couple of times, but that doesn't take away from the fun.

I would say none of the characters are self-insert templates for the reader, they are their own person and you should read it with the mindset that you are reading about other people instead of projecting yourself unto any character.
In that way many of the plot-points you would normally feel are bad make a lot more sense and fit into the story seamlessly.

It's a light-hearted feelgood novel that will make you smile and enjoy your leisure time. <<less

It's a slow paced story, but cute and sweet

The whole population can be said as cuties, there's no villains whatsoever, only cunning people just becoz they had so much fun playing and eating in a vr game. Ofc, considering their real living environment, the game is basically a heaven.

MC having a plot twist is somewhat both I expected and also unexpected. I guessed MC's background but the whole process is rarely used in the usual stories I read. The fact that MC's original character is a total 180 is very... more>> adorable. Very like his beast gene. <<less

Ancient farming deity wakes up in the intergalactic era and creates a Stardew Valley / cozy farming video game that can heal wounded beastkin and coincidentally adopts a cute cat

I enjoyed the mature characters (at least, the main character is not an infantilized weak stereotype), great video game, warm and cozy vibes, and the excellent translation.

RATING: 4/5!!! [Rereadability: 9/10] [Game Elements, Interstellar, Farming, Infrastructure]

This novel is lacking in many areas, but in the areas that it's good at, it shines~ What I mean by this is that this novel should be read with a certain expectation in order to be enjoyed thoroughly. More specifically, you have to like infrastructure and farming XD. The tone is similar to the BL novel "Sand Sculpture Demon King" the one where the MC transmigrates in a western fantasy world as a demon king with his smart phone and starts... more>> to transport modern culture to enlighten the people of that world. Only, the things transported are different. Here, the MC transports ancient Chinese culture, food culture, and farming know-how by building a game focused on agriculture.

It's surprisingly fun. You get to see the MC updating the game slowly — which is the focus of the story. As for the other things. It's not as good. The characters are mostly simple. At least, they don't go through tempering or extreme character development. They just live their life smoothly. Without any real conflicts or growth. As for romance... DX don't expect too much!! The romance here is sooooo basic that it pretty much has no reason to exist. The falling in love step is skipped directly or, at least, is not given enough development to be very realistic. It always feels like it came out of nowhere, so I didn't care much about it.

My real goal in reading this till the end is seeing the completed version of the game — which was not bad. Kinda wish there was more game-building content, even, since there were a couple of loose ends here and there. And it seems like the game has a lot of room for growth. If I rated the novel based on the game aspect alone, I would give it a 5 star rating XD. BUT, as it stands. Ignoring my usual criteria for rating (character, romance, setting, and premise). This novel fails 3/4 (yes, the setting is also kind of broken. The explanation about how the empire suffered from genetic collapse and the treatment was so flimsy that I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.) SOOOO... Yeh. 4/5 is the highest I can consciously give XD.

All I can say is... read it if you like infrastructure and farming!!!! The tone is lighthearted and the development self-indulgent. On the other hand, if you're looking for romance or character development, STAY AWAY! Come back when you're in a better mood for some leisurely farming lolol.

_____________

SUMMARY — The MC of this novel is named Bai Li. He's a "Shennong" from another time and space that ended up soul traveling to an interstellar world. His new identity is somewhat mysterious. The original owner is gone, leaving him only with instructions to live on and a bank card with 6666 star coins. As a relatively optimistic person, he makes the most of what he has to build a game. It's relatively simple at first. Just a blank empty village with an NPC to hand out tasks for clearing wasteland and building a simple hut. The purpose of the game is to introduce the leisurely farming life to the interstellar people.

He has no big goals. He just has no other way of planting at the moment. And he needs to plant in order to collect spiritual energy. In the end, the game he made becomes the best source of the energy he needs to cultivate. So he focuses his attention on the game more. Adding updates whenever he gets an idea, and, by the way, making money so that more people can play his game and give him star coins and spiritual energy.

(As for the ML, he's the great admiral of the empire. He's suffering from a genetic collapse that has reverted him back to his kitty form and was picked up by the MC to be a pet and helper. Later, after he's brought to the game by the MC, the ML gains consciousness. But he doesn't remember being a kitty. So shenanigans with identity ensue. It's all very simple. Cute, but don't expect too much!!! <<less

Really interesting.

I wasn't able to play mobile games when I've started reading this. Thanks Exiled rebels scan for picking this up.

This story is full of hope, life and excitement. I really can empathize with the netizens.

I lost interest towards the end though. The MC's real personality is a bit boring for me. I prefer his former personality (God of farming who's earning money). Things suddenly became too easy or within reach when he became the missing fox. I can't find the energy to finish it. Their romance is also meh. I'm not a fan. Well, I think it's his fox character that made me end it in this chapter.

This novel is so funny, don't have drama so it's super nice to read.

The MC is adorable and doesn't hide his talents. But the best are the game users and Internet users.

The ending was a bit rushed but not incomplete, however the extras were awkward and short. But I enjoyed the reading time.

Zhu Moling is my favorite character. He's pretty and lucky and it's so much fun to read about his luck and arrogance haha.

In the beginning I didn't mind the ML. But as it went on, I could feel myself becoming more resistant to him.

I've read a little further in and I still feel a little weird about the ML, but I guess he's alright. Jealousy is normal, but for some reason I don't like it on this ML. I think the story would have been great as well if they were just platonic life partners.

Okay I feel a bit better about ML now lol.

Hmm I don't mind the ML anymore. He's great for a ML tbh, and he grew on me haha.

These were basically the notes I took while reading this and it's not really about the plot, but I just had to get my thoughts out.

This story is good and I had a lot of fun reading it. I couldn't believe how fast I read this. I would have finished this, but I couldn't find the last 3 extras unfortunately.

I am really enjoying this story. The characters are interesting and it's quite a wholesome, slice of life story. There are funny and sweet moments and the story is evenly paced. If you like video game and farming/village life stories, then I think this is a great read.

SO good. The world is interesting and not quite like others I’ve seen before, the side characters are great, and there’s still so much potential for the main relationship!

plus, the translation is awesome, so smooth to read, and the releases have a decent length. This is one where I read the chapters as soon as they’re posted!
