What do you have when you blend a pinch of litrpg, a touch of farming simulator, a sprinkle of epic fantasy, a whole cup of Isekai, and a dash of Home Alone?
You have Arnold’s life.
Accidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer, wakes upon an altar to find himself incarnated into the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his fatter twin. He’s not the hero. He’s not the villain. He’s certainly not the chosen one who is there to save the world. He’s a clerical error.
It could be a bad joke, but apparently, it happens so often that they have a standard procedure for returning you. That standard procedure doesn't apply to Arnold.
Now stuck on a new earth, in a new universe, with no way home, Arnold must use his gaming skills to figure out how to level his farmer class to 100 and gain a second class which doesn't make him want to beat his head against the wall. There is just one small problem: farmers don't gain experience from killing monsters. Like at all.
Follow Arnold on his hilarious journey as he stubbornly comes to grips with his new reality and tries to change his destiny from that of your typical farmer.
The series
In Unorthodox Farming, the boundaries of Isekai and LitRPG are tested as a semi-pro gamer, Arnold, is unexpectedly thrust into the world of farming—a far cry from his former existence. Reincarnated in a strange new world, Arnold’s attempts to carve out a new life for himself are anything but traditional. In fact, his journey is defined by his quirky, unconventional methods and relentless ingenuity, making him an unlikely hero in a world where farming isn’t exactly a high-stakes adventure.
Read full series description
The story is grounded in a farming simulation, but it's far from what you’d expect. Instead of simply plowing fields and raising crops, Arnold’s strategic thinking—honed from his gaming background—pushes him to approach his farm with a fresh perspective. Each day is a blend of trial and error, humor, and creative problem-solving, as Arnold strives to level up his farming skills and unlock new potential for both his crops and his destiny.
In a world where magic and monsters rule, the standard approach to leveling up involves monster hunts, but Arnold isn’t interested in following the pack. Instead, he challenges the system itself, transforming his farm into a place of unexpected power, all while outsmarting the challenges of his new life in ways only a gamer could. His goal isn’t just survival—it’s to master the art of farming in a world that doesn’t understand it.
Unorthodox Farming offers readers a playful and refreshing take on the Isekai genre. The rich world-building subtly mixes farming, strategy, and humor, while Arnold’s growth from a confused newcomer to a master of the land is both inspiring and entertaining. This is not just a story about farming—it’s about reshaping the rules of the world itself.
For fans of unconventional heroes and genre-blending stories, Unorthodox Farming stands as an engaging escape, full of heart, humor, and innovation. Whether you’re drawn to the quirky take on Isekai or the charm of Arnold’s farming ingenuity, this series brings a new flavor to familiar tropes—one seed at a time.
